Rabshakeh Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) The Conte Candoli All Stars - Little Band Big Jazz (Crown, 1960) Black Art Jazz Collective - Ascenscion (High Note, 2020) Part of my ongoing project to fritter away the short time I was given on this earth by at least experiencing the work of Young Lions and co at different stages. It is hard to put a finger on why this record doesn’t work even on a craftsmanship / retro genre work level (with which I have no problem). Edited March 24, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote
Rabshakeh Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Cameron Graves - Planetary Prince (Mack Avenue, 2017) It's a West Coast Get Down record from 2017 with Thundercat on bass and Kamasi Washington on tenor, but much more aligned with conventional jazz than I'd expected. Washington's actually pretty good in a 1970s sort of way here, without the theatrics of his leader works, and I like the trumpeter, Philip Dizack, who I don't otherwise know. Obvious 70s "spiritual jazz" influence on the soloists, but the tunes are a bit rockier and younger, and there's a nice interplay between Graves on acoustic piano and Thundercat on bass, so it's not just a throwback. Worth a do. Edited March 24, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote
mhatta Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 I thought Lester Young was lackluster in his later years, but this is quite good. Quote
