More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"?

Maybe Pat Metheny's One Quiet Night? (I love this thread, btw. Inspiring me to spend $ on more great music.)

Spending $ 38,000 dollars to record an album in 1977 is nothing to brag about.

You may want to try Sarah McLaughlin "freedom sessions"

Just played the lp tonight, spacious palpable acoustics

You're probably aware of this, but CJ did an anniversary edition of Trinity, with help from Vic Chesnut and others. Not sure of production details.

If what draws to Trinity is the high quality single mike recording, you might try stuff from Chesky, such as Valerie Joyce's New York Blue (she has a spacy sort of voice which is a bit like Margo Timmons).

I a different genre, Heartworn Highways is a nice, unadorned recording of various Texas types, includiding CJ hero Towns Van Zandt.

Per John's reference to SQ:

If that's what you're after, pass on the Rundgren stuff. Not good. I assumed that you were more focused on the live/spontaneous feel of the performances.

PS and OT

John,

I got hold of 2 Cow's WAOB. Great call, thanx. You might check out the Canadian band called "Jr. Gone Wild". Very much of a piece with WAOB.
