So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[HutchFan]

Tonight's theme is airborne instruments.

A few moments ago, they floated over a sunbaked desert. Now, they're flying by Saturn like satellites:

Libre - Con Salsa . . . Con Ritmo, Vol. 1 (Salsoul, 1976)

Miles Davis “Sketches of Spain” Columbia Reel-to-reel via High Density Tape Tranfer cdr

 

Yeah, I said to me some days ago that I might listen to it again. It was while I was listening to the newer RTF live stuff with Jean Luc Ponty where they do "Spain" and play "Aranjuez" in the intro, that made me want to spin "Sketches" again, but ya know that´s a thing I have to play when I am a certain mood into. Like ....listen to something that I don´t listen for "study", but only for a certain mood, which happens more in winter time. 

When I became a Miles Fan from the very start on and started to get a few Miles albums from pocket money, it was one or two Prestige, it was Miles Round Midnite, it was above all Miles in the 60´s with Herbie and Tony, and of course the than brand new "Bitches Brew". 

Sketches was always around, but I was not marture enough for it. For me then, it was too little action, I was not cultivated enough to enjoy something where I don´t hear them ringin cymbals and that strong traps work....

Now, as I said there are moments I spin stuff like that.....

Francy Boland & The Orchestra “Blue Flame / Red Hot / White Heat” MPS 2 cd set, disc 2 then disc 1

I was thinking I’d play some Ellington and saw this and played these two discs first instead. Not a bad choice or dissimilar choice. . . Boland was very influenced by Ellington and Basie, and both are referenced here in arranging style. Soloists are mainly artists that are featured in various configurations of The Clarke Boland Big Band, or small groups drawn from the Big Band. Really good music and sound!

Followed by

Orin Evans “The Magic of Now” Smoke Sessions cd

 

 

Immanuel Wilkins! I love his playing.

Two terrific records.   

 

[HutchFan]

McCoy Tyner - Passion Dance (Milestone, 1979)
with RC and Tony

 

[Rabshakeh]

Jason Moran - Same Mother

Since Ten, I've been finding Moran a little po faced for my tastes, but that original run in the 00s was just incredible. Moran made all those other 90s/00s piano guys look like also-rans.

I hear a lot of Don Pullen on this one. More in the way concepts move into each other and high and low combine than in terms of direct influence.

Black / Note – L.A. Underground

[Peter Friedman]

Other than his early Prestige albums, Mal Waldron's playing has not been to my taste.

This is an exception. Waldron plays standards and I found this an enjoyable recording.

SHM-SACD just arrived from cdjapan.co.jp

Wow. This may be the best sounding of the recent Coltrane SHM-SACDs.
