V.A - This Is Flying Dutchman 1969–1975 2LP

今年看見目前最具光芒閃耀的合輯了，幾乎不太有機會看到這樣的曲目編排，Bob Thiele以不妥協於主流廠牌考量的宏觀視野，製作出John Coltrane的A Love Supreme鉅作，之後進入Impulse八年，他參與錄製Duke Ellington、Archie Shepp以及Pharoah Sanders開創性的作品，隨後他成立Flying Dutchman，繼續發行Gil Scott-Heron、Lonnie Liston Smith等人作品，成為上一世紀流傳到現在THT店裡流動與所有現在跳舞節奏無法撼動的基石，之後Flying Dutchman內的自由爵士與南美節奏等等，所有要表達的都在封面與曲目裡，這張合輯是對這個偉大廠牌的致敬，也是Bob Thiele的兒子要提醒人們父親所帶來音樂的力量，附有深度完整插圖與註釋。
