That looks like an interesting record, calzino.

it's not one of his best and is dragged down a bit by the awful vox tracks, but he's such a legend/musical force I'll listen to literally anything he plays on.

(Ha, then I went back to the Smashing Pumpkins poll.)

Grisey represent! I think I like the original Accord recording (with Gérard Caussé on viola) even better. For what it's worth, it's a little faster than the Kairos one and the playing strikes me as a wee bit more idiomatic, though I absolutely adore the ASKO Ensemble (and Garth Knox) as well.

I'll look for that one.

I've got to admit when Meades put some Ben Webster in his Architecture of Fascist Italy doc, I was really happy that someone else out there appreciates this genius.

interesting folk/soul whatever lp by girl with a weird semi-tuneful smokey voice that I find quite compelling.

John Gordon Armstrong - Music for Solo Guitar
Yamantaka//Sonic Titan - Dirt
Alvvays - Antisocialites
Itasca - Morning Flower
Planning for Burial - Below the House
Smashing Pumpkins - 1991-06-22

i have been listening to so much alvvays, it's been ridiculous

also benoit delbecq trio's "ink" is a proper treat. cage's sonatas & interludes reframed as a congolese p bley/ guaraldi workout

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds copenhagen 20/10/17
the concert that is featured in the concert film Distant Sky was circulated via torrent sites presumably before most people had heard of a forthcoming concert film.
This was apparently the first stadium tour by the band. You can see the size of the venue in the film.
Energy/intensity level throughout seems to be pretty high.
Very good performance.

Not sure if the band changed the tracks played much over the tour. Looked like a few of the sets I have from last year have pretty similar setlists.

Runa Laila - "Shahbaz Qalander", off of Showcase South Asia

very different from the rest of the comp, but it's 24 amazing minutes of not italo-disco

an hour of ambient stuff mixed/edited etc by the black dog.
just what i needed today.

Kenny Wheeler - Gnu High and Deer Wan albums back to back. Just what I needed this hungover morning.

Got only 3 weeks to make a cool Afrobeat music for my thesis, and boy, have I been on a search roller coaster. Gotta find some African music beats ASAP and then I got hooked to this page popularly called Naija Free Beats. Still on the thesis thing, but everyday, I keep going back for some listening and relaxation pleasure. Also have some cool collections from Soundcloud as well. :)

love these albums, this is the only living jazz pianist who makes me think of Mal Waldron. For some strange reason his quite jaunty version of They Say It's Wonderful brings me to the verge of blubbing.

A good'un

Sadistic Mika Band - Black Ship (1974)

first album also but i can't find a good image of the cover. Roxy Music discovered these guys -- it's good stuff!
