Dub Modal

Never listened to Bergonzi or Garzone before, so giving these a try.

Excellent trio record. Patitucci is ridiculous on bass.

"In charge" is definitely a description I think applies. Very much in control of the horn and expressive - there's a lot to love about his playing.

Looks like he's touring with his trio this year: https://www.lewtabackin.com/itinerary.html And he just wrapped up some shows at Birdland in NYC. The second show on 1/7, per his website, included "Lew Tabackin Trio plus very special, mystery guest, tenor saxophonist. Not at liberty to give his name, but should be an amazing encounter" Anyone know who that was? Or did it not even happen?

No, just out of the blue for me. I only associated him with a big band, and one that I didn't listen to much if at all. No reason for that other than the embarrassment of riches available to the new-ish jazz listener make it easy to overlook artists. Unfortunately apple music doesn't have much of his small group sessions...

Streaming the album Dual Nature now because of this thread, second half of this album is where he’s on tenor. Have never listened to him much if at all. Damn. Dude can fucking play!

For some reason had an itch to listen to some 70s rock so tried with some Traffic earlier today: John Barleycorn and Shootout - had to turn them both off early because they sounded terrible to me. Went to Manfred Mann's Nightingales & Bombers which was decent but still distant and just not my thing. Budgie - good aesthetic in the sound but man, those vocals... Finally moved to Black Sabbath which was much better. War Pigs still slaps and probably always will. Cheers!

More Perelman/Shipp:

As I listened to it more it comes across as Shipp guiding the playing, with Perelman frequently playing off of him. Kind of like a situation where Shipp and Dickey were the rudder for the session - and it's a really strong hand to the point where I was kind of surprised it's a "Perelman" trio recording. That doesn't really matter much in the end, but it was an impression I had. Regardless, it's a great album and left me wanting more from this trio, so hopefully there's more to come. And since I loved Dickey & Shipp so much on that record, NP is:

Thanks for the link!

Man, you gotta get this set one way or another. I'm not familiar enough with Berne to confirm the above statement but despite that it's a remarkable collection.

Bit of a Lee Morgan marathon: Taru, Sidewinder, Search for the New Land and Tom Cat. Tom Cat was the best of the bunch by far despite some gems in the other albums. Then moved on to Parlan's Spur of the Moment and it's better than every one of those Morgan sessions.

"Mom, don't move!" I'm content to let the buzzards and hawks have all the squirrel they want.

The work required to get meat off a squirrel ain't worth it. I'd rather scale a dozen spots than dress one squirrel.

As I'm new to Perelman, what would you say differentiates this one? Is it Shipp you think? He brings a lot to the table here.

Aware of Perelman but never listened to an album. This one is from January 2021. I dig his sound. There's a lot going on here and a lot to like.

Silence and an attempt at pitch darkness for me. Although I could probably dig on some minimalist recordings that otherwise I find tough to listen to. Surprised no one's going for Ra's Sleeping Beauty!

Listened to the sample tracks the other day. Very much a hip hop record if those are representative of the whole

Looks like it's pretty available online via 2ndary markets like discogs. Don Lamond beats the hell out of that kick drum at times.

Produce supply here seems a bit choked but extreme weather caused some excessive runs so that may be the reason. And there's low to no staff around to stock at many grocery stores, and so many have cut operating hours. And if you have any appliance that needs repair or need a new appliance you better hope what you need is already in stock. Getting orders shipped for anything like that is a bit like roulette right now.

I agree. I didn't know anything about it but apple music has a decent write-up summary on it (these aren't included with all albums on this platform, so it's nice when one's available). NP. This one escaped me but am listening now after seeing it upthread.

First time listen and it’s awesome

Sun Ra's Other Planes of There and then discs 1-3 of the Hemphill comp from last year.

I hope Max Romeo gets paid when these guys continually use his songs (Prodigy did it too, as did Jay Z).

The mixing described in the first post is what I've always considered "juggling," as reggae selectors have done this for decades. Major labels of that genre such as Greensleeves would issue double LP sets of riddims so that selectors wouldn't go broke or insane from having to get all the 7" singles to string it out. If pressed on music like this I prefer jungle by several miles over typical house. Although a buddy of mine is a house DJ and I do enjoy his mixes.
