So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Marco Minnemann ‎– Broken Orange

I haven't revisited this modern day fusion record for a while. I think it's aged pretty well. 2002 was a tough era for badly dated studio trickery and immediately passe musical references (pointless breakbeats? always), but this swerved the worst pits.

Except for the dire cover art.

Spanish Wave by L. Subramaniam (1983)

A bit of fusion on a Thursday morning. It's my first listen to this one. It is like a combination of everything early 1970s.

CD6 of this enjoyable set. Followed by CD7 - ‘The Pretty Redhead’, also including the session with guest Charlie Mariano. Ace.

Pondering when I actually saw Carr play live - the only time I can recall was with Gil Evans Orchestra !

Two-handed, totally. Gotta follow them both to get the one.

This is another one to live with for a few days. SO much "there" there.

Branford Marsalis - The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born (1991)

Some sad stuff on here. Kenny Kirkland badly missed even at this point.

Close attention is required & rewarded.
