A great box I bought recently. The early Mariano is really something

😁 👍

Saw him life in our jazzclub with Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers some years ago.

Who was in control of wardrobe? Oof.

Snarky Puppy - Immigrance

My cousin loves these guys so I periodically check them out. Hard to see what is good about it. It seems to be just sequencer music, with musicians playing their parts to a ticker. So there's no tricks of phrasing or rhythmic interplay or anything much really. The tunes are just pastichey. Why you would listen to this rather than e.g. MPS big band jazz funk records or something bewilders me. 

Let's see how her collaboration with Matthew Shipp goes first.

I was familiar with just about all of JJ Johnson's recordings, except this one.

Highly enjoyable with a variety of musicians.

TwinKeys – Tarkus And Other Love Stories

Carrying on a day of bad listening. This looked like a fun concept of two pianists handling prog rock themes, but it is pretty dull.

I live in the area where these guys originated and then began to break through. It was discouraging, to say the least. I was at the tail end of a pretty lengthy exploration of Acid/Nu Jazz/DJ/Remix music and everything else that was within a week's drive to and from Monday Michiru, all of which had been more or less totally unknown/ignored by domestic musicians and civilians alike. So to hear this stuff SO gobsmacking the general public as "innovative" and such...no.

Ooooh, but they're from DENTON!!!!!

Exactly.

I like the tempering effect that soprano seems to have on McPhee.

I have and really enjoy the six cd complete set, but someone gave me this promo sampler. . . and wow. Wow. This is a great disc, a great summation of the set. “Things Ain’t What they Used to Be” right where it is is very effective.
