So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

I'm leaning on the power of music in these days of pandemic strife and "QAnon" vicious insidious LIES. This particular Sanders release speaks to something inside me. . . a hope that "Love is Everywhere."

Pharoah Sanders, "Wisdom through Music" Impulse/Universal Japan SHM-CD (2021).

Malfada Minnozzi "Sensorial--Portraits in Boss and Jazz"

Took a chance on this one via Dusty Groove in Chicago--I haunt their Brazilian releases online and order a few a month. This one was a nice "blind leap"--really enjoy it's instrumentation and her interpretations.

Otis Trio "74 Club" Far Out cd

A Brazilian jazz group. . . somewhat "out". . . a guitar trio supplmented with vibes, sax, clarinet, trumpet and trombone in varying ensembles. The first cut starts off with a Rolling Stones riff and ends with a Batman tv show riff, just to mess with expectations. An intriguing release.

Here´s also Pharoah Sanders listening right now:

"Live at the East" was one of my first LPs at high school. Though this is not the easiest music for a young listener, I dug it, and still dig that great "Healing Song" with those voices. 

And one of my favourites from the time when Pharoah played more in the traditional manner with a regular quartet is "Heart is a Melody of Time". 

It´s interesting that both Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders, once pioneers of Free Jazz, got back to more straight ahead stuff during the late 70´s early 80s.

Great. I remember when I first purchased it when I was very young, I didn´t know that "Nefertiti" is the title of the Wayne shorter composition. 

then, in 1978  I first thought  that  "Nerfertiti" might be  an Italian Name and perhaps some Italian film producer, so when I first saw the cover I thought this is possibly some movie score, like "Lift to the Scaffold" or later "Siesta".

queen from the old Egypt ... didn't realize until your post.... lol

Great, especially "There´s No Business like Showbusiness", really up tempo, long theme, quite hard to play I must admit
