So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[BillF]

Now playing:

[Rabshakeh]

Wycliffe Gordon & Ron Westray – Bone Structure (Atlantic, 1996)

My first listen to this. Double trombone front line, with Marsalis / JatLC acolytes. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this record. They're talented players, and the tunes are actually good.

I hate trying to describe music - Ethio Jazz keyboards with horn choruses, some solos. Has a laidback funkiness to it with some almost Middle-eastern touches. Sits somewhere between Atstatke, something on Brownswood Records and bizarrely Khruangbin. It really grew on my through the album. Ideal summer music, I'd say

Better than taking my words for it

Looks like Teo had an in to Laurie, he also did two Lionel Hampton records for the label.

The Foster album is pretty good, actually. "of its time" in a very good way. Michael Brecker in particular sounds more uninhibited than usual.
