jazzbo Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Going to be warm today, my wife will welcome that. But it will get hot up here in the listening area! Starting off with the Mobile Fidelity Lab One Step of Miles Davis Bitches Brew. Quote
HutchFan Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Back to this set: O Universo Musical de Baden Powell (Universal/Sunnyside, rel. 2002) Disc 2 - A Selection from the Festival Years, 1970-1977 Quote
Peter Friedman Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 I believe this is the only album where Rollins and McLean both play. I found Art Blakey's drum work highly impressive, especially on the tune "Denial". Miles playing On the tune "Bluing" also, to my ears, was damn good. Had not played this album in a very long time, and was slightly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Quote

The three main ones, in Charlesworth's translation (I haven't kept up my Ge'ez and old Church Slavonic have been getting rusty since I left primary school). Just wondering what, if any, connection there was to the album. Quote

Regarding the album's scarcity: Has OutNote gone belly up? I hope not. Whoa, the album's not that scarce. I had only looked for discogs US $ sellers. Currently just one, used, at a high but not exorbitant price. Amazon (where I rarely look any more) has it new at a midrange price. Available used for a song if I wanna roll the dice on ex-library. Label seems to be part of the outhere portfolio, which includes Werner's ezz-thetics in jazzland and a bunch of estimable classical labels, so it's probably still extant. Edited June 3 by T.D. Quote

JSngry Posted June 4 Author Report Posted June 4 Well...the tempos are just too fast. Not radically so, but...,"The Barbara Song", no master how gorgeous, needs to hang in the air, not feel like the gentlest of gentle breezes. And don't ask either of these tenor players to assume the phantasmical spectre of Wayne Shorter. Otoh, times keep changing and Gil certainly did as well. So maybe this is as it should be, or close to it. But I still like the big hairy slo-mo codeine spiders of the original. Slow that shit down! Quote
JSngry Posted June 4 Author Report Posted June 4 Needed to check ..yeah, this one is imo much more on point than this new one. Quote

The First Book of Enoch is famous for being used in Ethiopian Christianity which is why I think she picked it. (The liner notes hint at that, although they are pretty neutral, for an Angel Bat Dawid release.) She has just released another record about travelling to Nabta Playa so perhaps she is pivoting to more of a African-centred 'spiritual' concept after maybe having run out of steam with what she was doing. I haven't listened to the other new record yet but I think it has some Don Cherry influence. I still like her first records (which were part of that incredible burst of energy coming out of International Anthem about 6 years ago) and I keep up with her releases. I think she may have become a bit of a creative casualty of recent trends, but I am pleased to see that she is at least trying something a bit different. Edited June 4 by Rabshakeh Quote

Junko Onishi - piano Nicholas Payton - trumpet Wycliffe Gordon - trombone James Carter - Tenor sax, alto sax, bass clarinet, flute Reginald Veal, Rodney Whitaker - bass Herlin Riley - drums Roland Guerrero - congas I've never heard this one. It looks like her last release recorded in the US with US-based musicians. All of her releases after this were recorded in Japan with Japanese musicians. Quote
