ILX0RS: JAZZ IS THE TEACHER. YEAH, IT'S A JAZZ THING >> THE ILM JAZZ LISTENING CLUB! [NEW CHOICES EVERY WEDNESDAY!]

That'll be it. As i said, don't really listen to that much jazz (although i have heard Journey in Satchidananda) but the first thing that struck me with this album was the "roughness" of the tone. It just sounds cool basically.

been listening to Karma a lot in the last week independently of this thread, walking around singing "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" in my head. I don't really dig Thomas' solo stuff but I love him on this record.

Hutcherson had a great working relationship w/pianist Andrew Hill on Blue Note, too. check out Hutch's Dialogue or Hill's Judgement LP. my favorite straight-ahead Bobby is The Stick-Up w/Joe Henderson at his most Coltranesque.

Andrew Hill was terrific too back then.

listened to Karma (twice!) on the way to work today. beautiful record. thing i was digging the most about "creator" this time around was the percussion -- all that shimmering, jangling sound going on.

I think I hear new things everytime I hear it tbh. Either that or I'm focussing on something different each time. It's just the perfect album for me (along with Mingus - Black Saint And Sinner Lady)

Karma is definitely my favourite jazz lp, and definitely in my top 5 of all time regarddless of genre

glad to hear that

Here is a Spotify Playlist for both weeks(minus unavailable album)
Will add to it each week

just a reminder for the May's pickers:

a hoy hoy: 5 May
local garda: 12 May
ward fowler: 19 May
Cave17Matt: 26 May

i think i have decided my 3. there is no link other than they may be my fav 3 jazz records evererer

how do they rate as arsenal players?

Vieira, Song and Keown?

the 1st one is a classy thuggish album by an artist who was past their best?

ok vieira when he was an arsenal player.

hard edged classy with a great ability to move forward?

What will a jazz fabregas be?

Hmm, I was thinking 'kinda african and/or hard as hell' w/ my picks. a cesc would be some dainty european thing that can leave a giant smiley smile on yr face.

and an arshavin?

tbh i don't know where brotzmann is from but his name sounds kinda russian + proper mental and exciting.

Peter Brötzmann is German and mental. Extremely fiery and would rip your head off.

always thought Brötzmann was Polish, but the interwebs confirms what Herman says is true. Saw him at Oto earlier this year and he was indeed fiery and exciting.

Unrelated but I heard that during the recent spate of Sun Ra Arkestra gigs at Oto, they were booking some Summer 2010 London shows and Ronnie Scotts were keen to get them. Arkestra promptly turned them down, citing Oto as their most preferred jazz joint in London!

so a jens. dunno what an arshavin would be. can something be cute+mental in free jazz?

Instantly rcoecognise Susie Ibarra, although I've only ever heard her on the work she did with Yo La Tengo. Must try and "check" her out proper. Ward any recommendations for this?

What did she do with Yo La Tengo? I'm not Ward but Flower after Flower is quite good.

Folkloriko for cute
David S. Ware Quartet for mental

It's not as cut and dried as that, but it's a start.

Ibarra played on YLT's "And then everything turned itself inside out" album. She's definitely on the track "Saturday" but may also have played on others

THE ILM FUNK LISTENING CLUB! Vol #3: May 3 - May 9 with Leon Thomas, Betty Davis and Herbie Hancock... All ILXors and lurkers welcome. is a bit jazzy this week folks if you wanna pop over (if you're not already on it) there's always going to be some crossover.

Okay Folkloriko is pretty mental. Interesting, strange - but to my ears not that hard to listen to.

(it and a couple other albums by Ibarra on Spotify!)

so is jazz club still moving to a tuesday or are there stragglers still wanting to talk about last weeks albums?

If a hoy a hoy is ready then go ahead!

Thanks for the Bobby H. introduction, enjoyed very much. Like the quieter pieces, especially "Tranquility" more but will be coming back to this.

I surprised myself by not engaging as much with Lonnie L S this time, finding about half of it - I dunno - noodly / cheesy / lite. The title track remains an amazing thing to behold tho

And felt real good to be listening to "The Creator...." again after several years. Easily the best of your picks: I can immediately smell the incense smoking away on stage when i saw him ('97, maybe early '98) at the Jazz Cafe.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

sam are you around? post your albums!

I think maybe the snooker put him in a coma

i love susie ibarra. i missed out on week 2 (and 1...) but will say that Karma is one epic killer of an album

you can post about any of the albums anytime if youre playing catch up. Good chat on the albums shouldn't end with the next picks.

SAM post your albums already

srry, was at work last night

Africa/Brass by John Coltrane

The Real McCoy by McCoy Tyner

Juju by Wayne Shorter

http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200607/05/63/f0062463_20462330.jpg oops.

I was torn between Olé and A/B. (Well, and Ascension but I think it is too early for that). Really though they are both perfect singular records from the Coltrane dynasty, a lot darker and heavier than the more obv. stuff like Blue Train and A Love Supreme. Plus, Eric Dolphy is one cool motherfucker.

The Real McCoy is just hard as hell and I loves it.

Was a toss-up between Juju, Money Jungle and Maiden Voyage, went with the one w/ the coolest cover imo.

A McCoy Tyner/Elvin Jones trilogy! Nice.

just to say i don't really know what to say about a lot of music i like these days but really enjoyed last week's selections and am looking forward to this week's.

Fine choices Sam, all 3 are,again, essential classics.
Ronan, glad you enjoyed my picks! I hoped to see you in funk club.

yeah i must get across all the clubs really as the whole idea is great for me, really looking forward to my week btw...

looking forward to seeing what you think of the jazz and funk albums.

I hope everyone is checking out Sam's excellent picks.

Africa/Brass rules

been on a coltrane binge lately but i have never really gotten around to africa/brass so i'm taking this as an incentive. and with all these listening clubs around i guess it's a good idea to sign up for premium again...

I hope you have more luck as i keep getting tracks stalling and conking out.
