Rabshakeh Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Two Compositions (Trio) 1998 by Anthony Braxton (Leo). My record player is busted, so I'm visiting old acquaintances via streaming services. I think that this one is missing a bit with retrospect, although I loved it at the time: it sounds very restricted composition-wise, and I think I can hear mistakes and fudges from the players. Braxton's more developed ideas strike me now as being not really up to the level of his writing for the Quartet from only a few years previously. I'd be interested to know if any Braxton fans disagree, and can "remind" me of why I liked this one so much at the time. Now moving on to The Story of Maryam (Soul Note, 1984) by Paul Motion. This one has always been a favourite: the tunes; the double tenor bludgeon of Lovano and Pepper; Bill Frisell's frisellisms; and Motion's playing, which is right up there in his best performances to my mind. Particularly the second side, where the saxophones move to equal prominence with the guitar. It's probably just the combination of Motion's fluidity with Frisell's guitar, but listening to this in 2021, I hear its sound in some of the recent guitar/noise records that have come out over the last few years on labels like Astral Spirits.

duaneiac Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Mostly a solo album, but Howard Johnson accompanied Taj Mahal on a few of the tracks here. On this tune, he is featured on penny-whistle instead of tuba: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) One of the best releases from Jarrett's "American Quartet," IMO. Right up there with Death & the Flower and Shades. Edited January 15, 2021 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharing the back cover here, because when I went through a fitness (weights and running, got up to 9 miles a day!) bag in the late 70s, this picture was a bit of an inspiration, I wanted to be THIS person, in my own way. Fit, vital, and no neck strap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
