Duke Eliington “Private Collection Vol. 3”

These Private Collection discs have some very interesting music.

Yussef Dayes - Black Classical Music

[mhatta]

I recently bought it used and cheap, having no interest in Freddie Slack (I had never heard of him in the first place), and was depressed when I realized it was on Spotify (under a different title) after I bought it. But the music is unexpectedly really great.  Sweet Swing Music and some white hot boogie woogie piano.

Allison Miller's Boom Tic Boom – Otis Was A Polar Bear

There are some nice ideas here, but a problem that I have with this kind of heavily scored modern jazz is that it sounds like the musicians are essentially playing to the sequencer / compositional IT that was used to write it. It just pure execution of ideas with no real interpretation.

I realise that this makes me sound like an old man.

John Oswald/Grateful Dead “Grayfolded” disc 1 “Transitive Axis.”

 

About a hundred versions of “Dark Star” folded together. A fascinating disc, one of two.

I'm only just getting to know his music myself.  Enjoying what I've heard, so far.
