  4. So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

    Since hearing a group led by Vijay Iyer playing Andrew Hill's music this past weekend, I have been in the mood to listen to Hill's music in my daily listening. Monday I started with the Black Fire sessions, then decided that I wanted to focus on the post Blue Note seventies recordings. 

    Yesterday I listened to this one:

    This is the selection for today:

    Did you see her live? I've only caught Youtube glimpses. I did grab her first release on that label from Itunes a few days and was very impressed.

    I have heard her live and she is very impressive. Interestingly, the first time I heard her live was playing in an ensemble led by Allen Lowe.

    I'll be writing an ongoing review of every one of his Milestone records here, in chronological order. At least one of them is a near-total disaster, some are indeed frustrating, a lot have one or two "why couldn't the whole record be like this?" cuts, and a few are true delights. 

    I've decided to "show my work" about all this, in detail. No minds will be changed, I'm sure, but I'm tired of this sweeping dismissal with equally sweeping generalizations. 

    I will be very interested in reading your impressions on those recordings. I have many of them in my collection. I might just listen to each as you share your work.

  9. Singularity Codex -- Matthew Shipp on RogueArt

    in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...

    Posted

    I have been reading the book in small chunks for the past week or so. I got through all the interviews and I am not reading the pieces on the specific recordings. I am really enjoying the additional insight the book gives on Shipp generally, and specifically the RogueArt recordings. I have a few of the recordings in my collection and have already started pulling some of them out for listening.
