I never really connected with Previte. A little too rocky and stiff.

Anthony Braxton – Nine Compositions (Hill) 2000

This one is really excellent. Nice to hear Braxton with actual arrangements. A good recommendation from @mjazzg, for which thanks!

For me, that's a desert-island disc!   

 

 

 

Last night and again this morning:

Such a terrific LP -- one of Jarrett's strongest, I think.

Glad it's hitting the spot 

This is an interesting Previte

Zhenya Strigalev “Blues for Maggie” Whirlwind Records cd

Zhenya Strigalev, Eric Harland, Federico Dannemann, Linley Marthe

[Rabshakeh]

Morning listen so far, all first time listens:

Omer Klein – Fearless Friday

J.R. Monterose, Jon Eardley, Rein De Graaff, Henk Haverhoek, Pierre Courbois – Body And Soul

Boney James – Shine

Yesterdays New Quintet – Angles Without Edges

The Omar Klein record is unexpectedly good. I had no expectations for it. It's got a lightly funky world/modal thing going. Nothing mopey or academic. Some Jewish / Israeli folk tunes and pop melodies handled in a non-cloying way.

Not quite the full deal yet but worth checking out.

Now moved on to this one:

Muriel Grossmann – Birth Of The Mystery

Not sure this is Grossman at her most inspired, solo-wise, but overall I think it is a pretty good record, in the ALS lineage. Grossman is very popular on the wider internet, but I don't see her posted that often on here. It may be that she falls between camps too much.

Double Bass – Calum Gourlay
Drums, Composed By – Dave Hamblett
Guitar – Alex Munk

Enjoying this one. . .perfect sound for this still dark chill morning. Strikes me as sort of a kinder, gentler Filles de Kilimanjaro.

First listen:

[Rabshakeh]

Cassius Lambert – Quote (Kaprifol, 2015)

Quite gimmicky record by a younger swedish bassist, but some of the gimmicks work (hand claps; accordion) and the melodies are decent. Not everything about it works. It feels a little overproduced (which given that it is recent probably means it was not sufficiently extensively produced to not sound overproduced) and there is a bit of an 'electronica chill' to it. But some nice fresh ideas.
