Yep, I wasn't previously aware of it either - looking at the sleeve something didn't seem quite right until I twigged. Period charm !

Period charm ! Of course, Monk wasn't generally known in those days, so misspellings of his name were legion. So many people learned Latin in school then that he invariably became "Thelonius". (Harking back to another thread, knowledge of Latin is why we got Mingus Ah Um.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith does Cecil Taylor - I don't know how typical of his work this is. Recorded in Warsaw. Rudimentary generic cover.

The LPs I have are quite spare and rather intense, seemingly coming from George Crumb and Henry Cowell as much as a postwar jazz/free music milieu. But that's only a listener's perspective and I'm sure there's much more to him than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm afraid to say that Crumb and Henry Cowell don't mean anything to me. Perhaps I should check them out. Geomusic I would say is jazz/improv NP Peter Brötzmann & Han Bennink Still Quite Popular After All Those Years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Clifford hints, his music got more lyrical and more conservative as time went on. I hope Michael would forgive me for saying this, but there are tracks from his later albums that border on "New Age" music.

Clunky Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Pete Jolly -----------Impossible---------(Metrojazz) Duo with Ralph Pena (bass) . Sounds like it might be dull but it's not. There's nothing remotely challenging about the repertoire but the absence of drums give the set a beautiful feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
