Peter Brötzmann is German and mental. Extremely fiery and would rip your head off.
― Dastardly & Müttley Crüe (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 3 May 2010 16:59 (fourteen years ago) link
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!

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?
― De que estas hablando? (Tannenbaum Schmidt), Monday, 3 May 2010 18:13 (fourteen years ago) link
What did she do with Yo La Tengo? I'm not Ward but Flower after Flower is quite good.

Folkloriko for cuteDavid S. Ware Quartet for mental
It's not as cut and dried as that, but it's a start.
― Nom Nom Nom Chomsky (WmC), Monday, 3 May 2010 18:23 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― Dastardly & Müttley Crüe (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 3 May 2010 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― Dastardly & Müttley Crüe (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 3 May 2010 22:22 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 19:26 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
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...

Africa/Brass rules
― Football's Flocking Home (Tom D.), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 13:34 (fourteen years ago) link
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...
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 14:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I hope you have more luck as i keep getting tracks stalling and conking out.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link
since their "social update" it's been awful, one in two tracks starting halfway through etc. plus a bunch of fb-peope are now constantly recommending me mew and mgmt :(
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 14:53 (fourteen years ago) link
well i dont have facebook thankfully, but when I pay £10 for premium I expect it to work. the free version works fine so fuck knows why the premium has problems. Quite a few times tracks just stop dead within 30-60 secs
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 14:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Can a mod update the thread title please so everyone knows to click on the thread for the new picks?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 15:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Juju is wonderful; that was on my shortlist for my own picks. Just started The Real McCoy and expect to enjoy it thoroughly.
― elephant rob, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 16:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Juju is a killer album, though See No Evil might be my fave Shorter Blue Note. They're all great. He was a busy dude in the 60s! Crazy how many albums he's on, how many shows he played, how many songs he wrote. Juju is interesting though -- just the fact that he borrowed Coltrane's entire band! Like, you'd almost think that he might want to *avoid* comparisons to Trane. But I'm glad he didn't. Everybody sounds fucking awesome here.

All Seeing Eye is another great Shorter album, but anything ive heard by him from back then has been terrific.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
listened to all three this evening - great picks Sam (?)!
Not much to say really except great playing on each track - masters each one!

Sam what was the first jazz album you got into?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Umm... I had a friend back in six form who had this amazing collection and he set me right with so much but the first records he lent me? I think it was Alice Coltrane's Journey in longwordicannotspell and Dolphy's Out To Lunch. He also took me to see Shakti/John McLaughlin and Charles Lloyd and we met again last summer to see fucking Ornette! :D Unfortunately we got too stoned and barely saw any of the show but still :D
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
haha, you damn hippies! Would have loved to go to jazz gigs in the 60s, far more than to a load of rock gigs tbh. Mind you, you used to get jazz and rock bands on the same bill. MC5,Stooges, funkadelic, Zappa,Sun Ra all on the one bill. Miles touring with rock bands, god that musta been amazing.
