My Harper arrived this week, unfortunately timed with my absence from my turntable for a fortnight. I'll just have to look at the lovely cover and imagine...
Now in stock at Honest Jon's.
I hope you enjoy it.
I'm a big fan of Floating Points and a bigger fan of Pharoah so it was either going to be a horrible disappointment or something rather special. I'm pleased I'm hearing the latter.
I think Shepherd has composed something that shows his real understanding of the Pharaoh/Alice/Impulse legacy.
I also think purists from both camps might not agree as it doesn't explore the outer realms of either genre but brings them together in the middle. Some will quite honestly see that as a musical compromise too far. I don't.
I like 'Cassandranite' well enough but Almarovid is absolutely wonderful. A different level from my perspective.
And I've never heard it but will redeem myself asap on the back of that description
Calling all Sonny afficionados...is the audio from the 1965 concert on Jazz Icons DVD available legitimately as audio only? My Discogs and other searches haven't found anything
