    In the jazz Twitterverse, there was also a great deal of disappointment recently when Cassandra Wilson revealed herself to be a full-on Trumper (seemingly of the QAnon variety).    

     I haven’t been on Twitter but this is...disappointing...I guess is the best word to describe it, mostly about the QAnon aspect.

    Re JMT, I haven't listened to anywhere near the entirety of its catalogue, but the Paul Motians and Tim Bernes are excellent.  My fave of the Motians is TRIOISM; my fave of the Bernes is FRACTURED FAIRY TALES.  I've heard two of the Steve Colemans and they aren't as good as his later work, though of historical interest.

    The Steve Coleman’s On the Edge of Tomorrow and World Expansion along with Greg Osby’s MindGames and Greg Osby and Sound Theatre  are what I think of when I think of JMT and all four (On the Edge and MindGames more so) are essential listening for me. The Gary Thomas releases should also be mention though I haven’t spent as much time with them.

    Album/Disc 4 - Cheops
    featuring Kyoko Kitamura: voice  -&-  Ensemble
    1. Entire Universe - 13:36
    2. Cheops - 13:51
    3. The Map Is Precise - 08:03
    4. If We Play Soft Enough - 22:17
    5. Harriott - 12:51

    - This was the most intense disc so far. Very entertaining from star to finish.

     

    Album/Disc 5 - Harlem Speaks
    featuring Fay Victor / Hamid Drake / William Parker
    1. Dancing at the Savoy - 04:45
    2. Don't Sell My Soul - 11:53
    3. Harlem Dances - 11:37
    4. Harlem Speaks - 07:17
    5. Paintings in the Sky - 0:23
    6. Shutters as Windows - 18:17

    - This the most abstract of the 5 discs I've been able to listen to so far. For me the most difficult to get into but it did start to all come together around Harlem Speaks.

    Album/Disc 3 - The Majesty of Jah

    - More of a meditative feel on this disc. I read the interview William did with Jalalu in his Conversations book but this is my first time (i think) hearing him. He stole the disc. Excellent stuff.

    I am not even sure there will be an LP. Too much music to fit and remember the pact between all the labels that the CD and LP have to match note for note.

    Backstory: this was going to be recorded in NYC and then everything shut down, so Joe recorded it in North Carolina where he lives. It was hard to find a studio...

    Can you provide any more information about this? I know it was brought up in the Sonny thread but I don't know when/why this became a pact with some labels not following it.

    Under current business conditions, not unreasonable considering the costs.

    I agree. As I tell my wife, if these endeavors go unsupported, we will not see them in the future. Just because I got the William Parker set and two large orders of Japanese releases in the last 6 weeks I have to hold off for a little bit. This will be purchased though. 

  21. What music did you buy today?

    placed a large order from Cedric at https://japanarchives-mailorder.com. This is my favorite site to peruse from Japanese artists and Cedric is super reliable. Highly recommend anyone looking for this music to start here. I have bought every Makoto Kawashima release from him and they always arrive fast. Really excited for the Masayoshi Urabe 3 LP set he released on his label in Dec. Beautiful packaging.
