Dub Modal

It’s never been a focus of mine unfortunately. Thankfully there’s resources out there to remedy that.

Oh yeah, archive.org is one of the best things ever online.

Reading this Robert Johnson bio has me digging into all of this music anew. Big hole in my listening world for sure.

It’s Yazoo right?

Here’s at least one of the documentaries on Bussard mentioned in that article: and about 1.5 hours of some of his records:

Always enjoy reading about Bussard and/or listening to those tunes…and watching him along with it. The enthusiasm gets me every time.

Sucks I can’t copy/paste these album cover links via my phone so fuck it, just typing it out: NP Jorge Rossy’s ‘21 ECM album Puerta with Robert Landfermann and Jeff Ballard. Just bass, drums, vibes/marimba and some other percussion. Enjoying that interplay this AM.

Looking forward to listening to the BN trio records although my favorite Lloyd albums are from his ECM catalog.

Finally tried with this one and I couldn’t connect very well. A couple of songs were good but the “Americana” vibe is not my thing.

Damn good album. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

This is a good record

Up Jumped the Devil about Robert Johnson. If you like music, you should read this book.

If Face of the Bass was still around here, they’d probably keep this going beyond 2020…at least it would seem so. A good album from the last 2 years would include Jakob Bro’s Uma Elmo

Anyone notice any changes?

Right?! It’s a real outlier.

Early week 2 summary: Coming a little early here because for some reason participation in this BFT is low. Not sure why but no matter, we’ll keep on truckin’ & trakin’: Tracks 1, 2, 5, & 6 have been completely ID’d Partial IDs for tracks 3, 4, 9 & 10 That leaves 7, 8, 11 & 12 with no IDs yet. Hate that this BFT is withering on the vine already but thanks to everyone who gave an ear and some thoughts! I enjoyed reading and discussing these songs with y’all.

No worries! So a partial for track 3 as Bley and Peacock have been named. Any guesses on song/album?

Indeed Bley on 3. I should've known Peacock would be a hint! None of those guys for 8. This song isn't the typical style of the sax player... A little before him...they were contemporaries then...but not Hank Jones.

Very appropriate. That was a blind buy for me and wow, talk about getting hooked immediately.

Totally agree. He was a real original. RIP

Thanks for giving an ear! Spot on for the Brandee Younger track for #2. I really like that duo album she and Douglas did. Partial credit for #3 as Peacock is on bass. But no Kikuchi. For #4, I think this player was around before Bley actually. Bingo on Nathan Davis for track 6. Good ears on the Euro guitarist! Not Glasper on 7 but I'm pretty sure you know who this is... Not Bang on 8...another one I think you could ultimately figure out though... Interesting the takes that #9 is getting. This is a leader that recorded a lot and of their studio work, I really like this cut and album. You've pretty much got #10 in terms of personnel. Find that Burton album with the song @Milestones named and you've got it. Glad you like 11...probably another you're familiar with. 12 is outside of my normal zone but it floored me from first listen. Glad you enjoyed it overall! I enjoyed reading your takes.

Correct on the song title for 10. Nice work. Metheny’s original is on Bright Size Life which was recorded in December of ‘75. This one comes from an official Burton album recorded a little while later and has the original song title in parentheses. Maybe since they altered it a bit they slightly changed the title? I like both versions but prefer this one as I think it's a little more developed. No George Adams nor David Murray for 11. And Bley is here but not track 12.

Day 2 summary: Tracks 1, 5, & 6 have been completely ID’d Partial IDs for tracks 2, 4, 9 & 10 Kudos to y’all for getting these and for chiming in. That leaves 3, 7, 8, 11 & 12 with no IDs yet.

Hope so.
