So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[optatio]

[HutchFan]

Marty Ehrlich & Anthony Cox - Falling Man (Muse, 1991)

Beautiful.

 

[JSngry]

From 2010, various texts from the public record set to music (and some purely instrumental music as well)home of the instant classic:

 

But don't stop there, there is no end of wonderful instrumental music on there as well, Ted Hearne is now on my list of names to pay attention to going forth...if it's not too late to catch up to/with the early 21st Century? Better get busy while there's still time!

 

a-HA! I knew there was some Mingus in there, at times overtly!

Just ordered:

They just made them sound like they were.

Good point. Re-released commercially through ECM.

My number two is their number one...

Not just re-released, remastered(remixed?) to add that ECM "sound" to them. I paid no attention until I hear an LP of Thesis, and I was like, WHAAAAAAAA????

Not sure if either it or Fusion has made it to CD in their original mix...Japan, maybe? Otherwise...

The Emanem issue of the Bremen and Stuttgart concerts adds the original takes of "Trudgin'" and "Used To Be." This may be as close as that gets. http://www.emanemdisc.com/E5208.html

Miles Davis "Four" & More, SACD

This music never gets old. Never.

[Dub Modal]

And then a couple of Sun Ra LPs and Miles albums...then this morning: 

And finally, currently back on some Duke - playing Disc 2 of this set:

Now playing:

Birthday boy Ornette Coleman and Charlie Haden - Soapsuds, Soapsuds (Artists House, 1977)

So, so good.

Just finished:.

Peer Pressure by Brian Lynch (Criss Cross, 1987)

This one is genre work, but done well I think. It is more fun than a lot of other retro stuff from the time. Terrible terrible cover photo - someone needed to turn down the flash.

Now on to: 

Company 5 by Leo Smith, Maarten van Regteren Altena, Derek Bailey, Tristan Honsinger, Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy and Evan Parker (Incus, 1977)

I think this is the pleasantest and easiest to follow of all the Companys, probably because so many of the players had a more intimate relationship with the jazz tradition. Braxton's and Smith's flute playing is really gripping.

Kirk Lightseys' solos on Evidence and Society Red are especially excellent.

[HutchFan]

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo (Concord)
with Bill Smith (cl), Chris Brubeck (b, tb), and Randy Jones (d)

 

[jazzbo]

Lafayette Gilchrist and the New Volcanoes "It came from Baltimore--Live at the Windup Space Vol 1"
 disc 2

[jazzbo]

Such a great album.
