Alice Coltrane - S/D

though i did just promptly buy the Sade in XL

OK I think I've gotten back to everyone except ILX user "Birds in Hell" - you gotta leave me your email in the webmail you send, ILX doesn't send it.

hmmm. shot a webmail (lol) out last night but let me try again. sorry in advance if I messed something up!

no I think I got back to you! it was a self-described lurker

hmm, I think that may have been someone else! I'm the one that just emailed you again last 30mins and signed w my govt name.

I described myself as a lurker! I've been trying to figure out how to check messages. Let me try again. Will be sure to include email...

I've been reading this site for something like ten years and still haven't really figured out how to do basic things.

You figured out how to post, and that is the most important thing of all :)

yes !

please post on ILM more btw

i will, but only if you post on ILE more <3

ah, only Medium!

The medium is p small imo

Somebody just shared the 1972 bootleg on Dime.

& I see from the Discogs entry that is linked to from there that they are no longer allowing people to sell it through there.

that was me, and yes that's standard for any bootlegs on Discogs now

I missed the boat on the vinyl release, oh well.

has anybody heard this in full ?

Alice Coltrane ‎– Sala Kongresowa, Warsaw, 1987

one of two tracks i can find on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwzJ6_1HQXo

wow, great find!

it's one in a series of cassette bootlegs, some of which i'd imagine you'd enjoy:

heh 80% of those are ripped straight from Dimeadozen afaict

The Berkeley ’72 recording is on YouTube:

oh cool, thanks for sharing. sleeve, do you still have those FLACs ?

xp don't know what Dimeadozen is but the cassette "series" definitely strikes me as faux-boutique cassettes-are-cool-now nonsense (i.e. i'm certain those recordings had previously been shared on nerd blogs), even so i was pointed in the direction of certain things i hadn't heard so

this berkeley concert is blowing my mind

previously been shared on nerd blogs

this, pretty much, Dimeadozen is a well known torrent site for ROIOs

Berkeley concert is unbelievable, agreed - there's a reason it made the Wire's year-end list

those cassettes DO look cool though!!!

here's the audio for the warsaw concert: https://we.tl/t-YHsfVrLIBY
deeply offended by the "nerd blog" comment

thanks tylerw !!

There's a 2CD set coming out on Friday, Spiritual Eternal: The Complete Warner Bros. Studio Recordings, which includes three albums, Eternity, Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana, and Transcendence.

Legit-wise, this is quite the gateway, or a gateway, though not as outward bound as some, but in terms of (for instance) Cali focus and range, musical per se and evocation: on headphones, especially, I'm climbing with her through the canyons, skies, chimes, ashram. This and the Luaka Bop are what I have.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Hm0keXTeY the keyboard on this is incredible, although I can't say I like the vocals much

^one of the best songs ever

And yes the Rhodes on it is sublime, but I love the vocals too--they have a similar sedated, cultish choral vibe to the vocals on David Axelrod's Earth Rot.

I love the way the rhodes is recorded, it's so room-filling, larger than life

my favourite alice jam

I'm really enjoying _My East is Your West_ by Sarathy Korwar, which has two Coltrane songs on it: "Journey in Satchidanada" and "Earth" (from the record _The Elements_ that she did with Joe Henderson)

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure _The Elements_ IS my most played Coltrane album; either that or _Universal Consciousness_.
Haven't listened to her in years though, which proves I'm a damn fool.

i love things about almost all her records, but i generally find Huntington Ashram Monastery and Journey in Satchidananda to be the most appropriate for the most listening situations (work music, cleaning, dinner party, etc). when it's a listening context where things can get more far out without disrupting my work or other people in the room, World Galaxy blows my mind

haha, yeah there are certain AC records that maybe aren't quite right for social situations.

thanks for the Sarathy Korwar tip, hadn't heard of it ...

Is jazz the music that changes the most when someone else enters the room in which you're listening?

And I'm sure the Korwar was discussed somewhere relatively recently. Anyway, this is a banger:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z_3t5un6sI

you mean the music itself is liable to change, or that the listener's subjective experience of it changes when someone else is present?

xp

because yeah, it's a little of both!

i can't have late 60's/70s sun ra on when someone else is present, because even if it's a calm and relatively melodic section, who knows what is going to happen at any moment. it can totally change character at any moment (which is part of the appeal!)

but also, i can listen to a pretty standard "jazz" album and think it's peaceful and non-distracting, but if someone else walks in they might fixate on all that ring-ting-tingling on the cymbal and want to change it immediately

Dave Alvin (yes, the Blasters/X/Flesh Eaters dude) has a new band called The Third Mind with ex-members of Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven, and the first track on their self-titled album is a fairly Dick Dale-ish version of "Journey In Satchidananda":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C6iXB911F4

Yes to all of that, Karl Malone! There's something about tuning into jazz that gets disrupted when another consciousness enters the room - it can go from something edgeless and erotic to all hips and elbows and tripping over one's own toes in seconds.

all that ring-ting-tingling on the cymbal

btw, that was a reference to a classic ilm thread that i can never seem to find, but i finally remembered!

What's with that constant cymbal tapping in jazz drumming?

for those who haven't read it, it starts with this classic pair of posts

This is one of the things I find annoying in the sound of a lot of jazz. Why did this become so common? Does anyone else find it annoying?

aaarrggghhh, yes, that endless ride cymbal tapping, it drives me NUTS. one of the biggest reasons that i hate jazz. oh, what, apart from it being crap and all. argh, the treble overpower of it all...

idk about all this -- i am going through the jazz unit in my music appreciation class rn and with this new online teaching situation, i don't get the chance to listen to jazz WITH my students and it is really bumming me tf out. my class is at least 40% less enjoyable for me and for them because we don't have the communal listening experience.

i used to play "journey..." as entry/class starting music all the time :( :( :(
i loved it when they would walk in and be like...what IS this?

oh yeah! journey is also my go-to jazz record to play for people who i suspect haven't heard it before - it never fails!

La Lachera, my music appreciation club has had a couple of online meetings using a combination of Zoom and an app called Jqbx that works with spotify. The drawback is that all users have to have spotify premium. It's worked pretty well so far though.

Ugh, La Lechera, apologies for spelling.

who haven't heard jazz before ?
