So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Sun Ra, Ra to the Rescue (Modern Harmonic)

Beware, this CD is defectively made. Volume inexplicably rises and falls on tracks throughout. Unlistenable.

Thanks for the warning. I've bought several Modern Harmonic Ra reissues with good results. But the sound quality on my recent Omniverse purchase was not up to the standard of the others.

Oddly, persevering though the entire CD, I found that only the first six tracks are defective; the last four sound great.

Now playing:

Apart from the music, I also dig the titles: "Sorry Wrong Rhumba", "Life with Feather", "Bebop's Fables", "Nothing but Denzil Best", "Bop Look and Listen", "Good to the Last Bop".

 

He was a funny man. His live intros were something.

Tania Maria "Tempo" cd

This is one of my favorite Tania Maria discs. It's just Tania and Eddie Gomez. These are both masters of their instruments and also very confident performers, willing to plunge deep into a tune and performance and reap rewards. And it's an interesting recording, putting you right in front of the musicians in a realistic and "alive way."

This afternoon:

Without this relase I never woulkd have heard the first three albums here - they're good. Wiggins was a very good pianist that tends to ge5t overlooked among the many fine West Coast piano players.

Chick Corea & Origin "A Week at the Blue Note" disc 6

Every disc in this 6 disc set is a nice listen.

Mary Halvorson – Amaryllis (Nonesuch, 2022)

 

Now on: 

Sirone Bang Ensemble – Configuration (Silkheart, 2005)

Such an incredibly ugly cover. Such great music. Tyshawn Sorey just fantastic.
