Collegiate Neophonic Orchestra Of Southern California – Neophonic

Capitol Custom, US, 1970, Private press.

I can only show the inside of the foldout because reddit is acting like a puritan again. You can see the complete artwork on the Discogs page.

One of those almost completely full force playing big band albums that will blow your socks off!

175 musicians from 26 colleges in Southern California. Stan Kenton was instrumental in the formation of the orchestra, a spin-off from the Los Angeles Neophonic Orchestra.

Tenderlonious - Africa/Brass Live

22a, UK, 2026

This new live album by Tenderlonious is pure FIRE!!

Partial blurb taken from album cover and his Bandcamp page:

In 1961, John Coltrane walked into a recording studio with 21 musicians and made history. Africa/Brass — his first record on Impulse! — captured the sound of a continent in the midst of revolution (17 African countries had gained independence the year before). It fused rapid-fire saxophone arpeggios with lush brass arrangements and expansive modal passages so trance-inducing it would go on to shape the music of Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and many more that followed.

Sixty-four years later, Tenderlonious set out to invoke that moment; honouring the original recording while pushing it forward with a Coltrane-like fervour.

HH live

I've seen snippets of this show on here, but here's the whole thing.

As a massive HH fan I need to share this of course.

I just noticed it doesn't start at the exact beginning but you can rewind of course and watch HH introduce the band.
