So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

Marcus Strickland Twi-Life Group – Open Reel Deck (2007)

I dismissed this at the time, thinking it was part of the then-burgeoning jazz subgenre of 'theoretically young 30 year old impresses old people by doing supposedly young thing that the old people don't know is out of date'. It does have some of the trappings, like the subpar hip hop, but on revisiting it, I enjoy it quite a lot more than I did.

Bob Dylan “The Bootleg Series Vol. 17: Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996–1997)”

This is a fascinating box set. I’m listening to the remix of “Time Out of Mind” in this set at the moment. This opinion runs contrary to most that I read but I prefer the original mix. . . though I can like this one as an alternate window into the music. The original has a magic that drew me in and revived interest in Dylan’s music for me though, it will always live in my heart as a masterwork.

Brother Jack McDuff “Moon Rappin’” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

A fun album.

This was mislaid for a while and I found it under my listening chair!

A funky remake of a classic Chico Barque album with amazing trombone! By the daughter of Joyce and Nelson Angelo, quite a family background.

Santana “Borboletta” Columbia LP

A great album and the OG LP sounds great. A gorgeous cover to see and hold in your hands as well.

My trumpet player performed with Barry Harris in Den Haga, but it must have been later, since he was born in 1980. He had studied with Aack van Royen up there, also performed with Lee Konitz. I out to ask him eventually about those encounters with the giants.....

Last night I listend to those two:

Both fantastic albums: 

I like Ornette Coleman´s arrangements for that string summit. Alice Coltrane on organ has captured much of here late husband´s sound on soprano. One can say she trasponds the music of Trane to the piano and organ, maybe even more than Larry Young who is my favourite organ player. I don´t have many experiences of hearing a harp, but this is very fine, the tunes are great ! That duo Alice with Rashied Ali....wonderful !!!!

"The Creator has a Masterplan" has always been a favourite of mine. It gives me that certain mood, maybe it is what religious people are into. I´ll never know since I don´t have no religion, but sometimes especially in lonely places which I seek to relax I  feel there could be  Godnesses, waternymphs and spirits..... so something might be there in the nature.......
And this music has it. I love to hear it when I can be alone and don´t have to talk to nobody...., like all that kind of late Trane and post trane music....
