Rabshakeh Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 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. Quote

JSngry Posted May 13 Author Report Posted May 13 11 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: 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. 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. Quote
JSngry Posted May 13 Author Report Posted May 13 I like the tempering effect that soprano seems to have on McPhee. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 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. Quote

Niko Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 12 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: David Murray, Gipsy Cimbalom Band Balogh Kálmán Featuring Kovács Ferenc That is one interesting album, not a lost masterpiece but not bad at all either.... A really weird idea to couple Murray with a Hungarian gypsy band - then again, he'd recorded pretty much every obvious idea several times by then + he's good at rhapsodies... And trad jazz veteran trumpeter Kovacs Ferenc is doing perhaps surprisingly well as Murray's frontline partner Quote
jazzbo Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 Starting off a beautiful morning with a disc I have not spun in a while. I need to get more Weber Iago. Such an interesting writer and pianist. Weber Iago “Os Filhos Do Vento: Children of the Wind” Adventure Music cd This is more classical than jazz . . . pastoral, evoking vivid texture. Quote

And trad jazz veteran trumpeter Kovacs Ferenc is doing perhaps surprisingly well as Murray's frontline partner I think you've hit the nail on the head. A strange record that I really enjoyed. Murray was as you say at that weird point in his career where he was dropping a new random album every week, and I think he may be the weakest link here. The music is so rhythmically strange that he comes across as tin eared at times. He just plays through them and can't adjust. But luckily there is enough going on (new to me) that the record comes off. Ferenc who I don't know is a big part of uniting the different styles. I'd appreciate any recommendations that you have for either cimbalom music or this type of records featuring Ferenc, who I really don't know. Quote

I'd appreciate any recommendations that you have for either cimbalom music or this type of records featuring Ferenc, who I really don't know. I love this album - and normally I can't stand Murray. Got rid of all the CDs by/with him except this one. His whining unhinged tone fits very well with tipsy-turvy Hungarian gypsy tunes. And I like these tunes. Ferenc Kovacs (Ferenc is the first name) is mostly known as a violin player. He is on many records. I would recommend this one under his name: https://www.discogs.com/release/1786220-Kovács-Ferenc-Beli-Buba , although it's more on the folky soft side. He is also a member of Mihaly Dresch groups, whom you probably know from this (excellent) album: https://www.discogs.com/release/1546927-Mihály-Dresch-Quartet-Archie-Shepp-Hungarian-Bebop Edited May 14 by Д.Д.

I haven't heard that record but it is on my list. I'll check the Kovacs record out. Quote
