So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Monday Michiru “Nexus”

This woman has so much going for her. Her lyrics are straight-forward yet have a wide scope of adult experience and have insight and positive statements.

And her music composition and synthesis and fusion is organized and interesting even when there’s more “house” and other elements I’m not crazy about there’s plenty to listen for and enjoy. She’s a capable arranger and band-leader and hires intelligently. Her voice is a thread that weaves so much together.

This is one of her mature, reflective, yet joyful releases. Sound is quite good.

For a short while in the '50s JR's abrupt, hocket-like way of phrasing was known as "the Peck." Shafi Hadi/Curtis Porter was another player who was so inclined. The Peck was more commonly used by horns in ensemble passages, e.g. by Donald Byrd and Jackie McLean with George Wallington. IIRC JR's use of The Peck was rather short-lived.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is very interesting, do you know of anywhere I can read more about this topic?

John Mayall “Back to the Roots” disc 1 of 3, from the excellent Mayall box set.

I used to listen to this 2 LP set a lot in the 'seventies. Still have it.

After 3 days, I think that I am nearing the end of my Burrell albums.

I also had the tracks from the Oliver Nelson and Quincy Jones Mosaics.

After that, on to

Tony Williams "Civilization" Blue Note cd.

This group's work on Blue Note didn't seem to attract me much at the time but this decade I'm enjoying their releases much more.

👍 I wish Mosaic had done a Rugolo Box set like they did for Johnny Richards.

Eli Soda - Honk If You’re Sad (2022)

 

Lakecia Benjamin – Pursuance: The Coltranes (Ropeadope, 2022)

I am not sure what I was expecting from this one. Great cover though.

Moor Mother – Jazz Codes (Anti, 2022)

Another listen to this. It still sounds to my ears an awful lot like an early 00s Mike Ladd production.
