rabih beaini's "albidaya" would fit here, too - better than much it has been compared to:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3dur47Ywlg

Thanks for the George Duke recommendation, really enjoying the MPS box

Cool! It was one of the best record purchases I've made in recent years.

it's not musique concrete in the strong sense but it achieves something similar, i think

George Lewis' Voyager is a landmark piece for live improvisation and realtime interactive computer music. Pitch analysis and response. Your mileage may vary with the Yamaha FM synth sounds he chose to deploy the interactive computer responses, but it's still an amazing thing to see live, and he's revived / updated the piece recently with modern technology. Very impressed with the last few performances of his I've seen.
Don't know 'Chicago Slow Dance'.

Lewis' Homage to Charles Parker is really gorgeous, I wouldn't have gotten into it had Cook not given it 5 stars in Penguin Guide to Jazz

this has already become one of my favorite threads ever.

man, i haven't pulled that homage to charlie parker album out in a while. so beautiful.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Wednesday, 3 September 2014 22:32 (nine years ago) link
sometimes i like the idea of chicago slow dance a bit more than the music itself. but it's still really inventive and unusual.
That youtube is the entire Homage to Charles Parker album, btw. The first 17:50 is the first track, "Blues." The rest of it is "Homage to Charles Parker" itself -- absolutely one of my favorite pieces of music ever, such raw naked emotion in the solos.

hasn't 'the feed-back' album just been reissued?
It has. I got the reissue in the mail, which is what sparked my review.

Spotify playlist spottily updated
Too bad Gil Evans' There Comes a Time is not available there, but there's quite a bit of synth on Svengali.

Good call re pre-On The Corner and especially the Canny use of crisp beats, which def. kept me listening, but overall preferring the actual OTC and actual Can, esp. much of what they're doing in that mostly-performance documentary I posted upthread.

yeah i only know it from youtube really. i'd like to have a hard copy.

this Jean Guérin track is pretty cool

although it leans more toward jazz-inflected electronic than electronic-inflected jazz, and nothing else on the album is quite so jazzy.
