Pure Fire: A Gilles Peterson Impulse! Collection Impulse records nothing but a dream immaculate music with form and sight will there ever be such a thing again perhaps ecm — I don't think so coltrane, sanders, lateef, ellington, barbieri, roach, alexandria and so much more. vocals, violins and modal madness! The best spines, no question. Perhaps one needs to have flown through blue note, prestige, riverside and cadet to have landed on impulse with onward connections to strata-east and ovation. I'm at my happiest here — this is my preferred destination — just a turntable and brother john at my side. Music is the healing force of the universe. never a truer word spoken. albert ayler's words on impulse. Avant garde music in the truest sense. a freedom to play. artist and repertoire. perhaps its only now that the vision is realised. thats art. My songs were picked with respect to other collections and with hopefully a few surprises. Yes 'wise one' is up there alongside equinox and a love supreme in my coltrane song book of choice. no Alice this time — just get the full lengths — no excuse. The blessing song, enchanted lady and see you later all pin point electric impulse at its finest. alamode swings back to dingwalls, 3 flowers and patterns add a waltz and archie introduces us to chinalin sharpe — must be someone else — can you guess? what about abbey and max — pure fire! Quite simply a gift of a label. the most pleasure!
