Well, I'm never particularly confident in describing music especially when it was only my second listen to 'Together Alone' and my first to 'Moot' and I know there are other board members a lot more qualified to speak about the Delmark and probably the Ictus. I was struck by how apparent it was that both came from different improvising 'traditions' but how there was a connection between them. The Jarman/Braxton is is some ways denser than I'd imagined - they both play a number of different instruments and switch within tracks, there's some electronics on one track too. Lots of musical information to absorb but maybe not as much silence as I'd suspected. Some great flute playing from Jarman, contrabass and piano from AB. It's definitely an album of two distinct musical characters coming together sometimes harmoniously sometimes in a degree of oppostion. The sides are split between one of Jarman compositions and one of Braxton's which may go some way to highlight the contrasts. I think it's going to reveal much more with more listens and can't quite believe it's taken me this long to acquire it, missed along the way of collecting AACM recordings. If you like early AACM I can't see you not enjoying this. Initial impressions of 'Moot' is that it's top notch European improv, carefully chosen contributions from all the players leading to a revealed logic in the interactions. Nothing very loud or raucous, some swingingly unswinging trombone interjections, lovely percussion shades and Coxhill as pin-sharp as ever. I'm looking forward to getting to know this more. In the same batch, i purchased 'Clangs' by Centazzo and Lacy, that's for later after some gardening...or just sitting in the garden thinking about doing it Quote
Rabshakeh Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 Thanks for the very detailed descriptions. An interesting set. Clangs is good too - it will be a nice post gardening treat. Quote

Gardening and 'Clangs' sidelined by a very good Byron Wallen stream from Ronnies, someone who I think is under recorded and possibly underappreciated, at least by me Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 I've never had Moot (aware of it, just doesn't pop up often enough over here) but it does look like a fun one. Quote

That's definitely the look! I'm partial to that Jack McDuff too. He's also a man with a killer art department. Quote
