So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Dub Modal]

Outstanding trio record although I'm not a fan of the Fred Schwab cover art in terms of its connection to this album. Its coldness betrays the much warmer connection between the musicians and how they produced something really beautiful here.

LaRoca adds something special. Makes me want to check out subsequent Friedman albums for sure. Looks like he recorded pretty regularly up to his passing in 2016.

Just come off a plane, during which I listened to both of these.

Currently on this one: 

Lludas Mockunas and Christian Windfield - Pacemaker (NoBusiness, 2018)

Might be the lack of sleep, but I’m really enjoying it: in the free improv / EAI bracket.

Now on Archie Shepp Quartet (Venus, 2001)

It slots in very nicely with the recent Mainstream discussions.

From what period is that ?

I heard a Shepp plays Bird album lately, with Siegfried Kessler, Bob Cunningham and Clifford Jarvis. That´s the group I heard in the late 70´s. 
Also heard a quartet with Ken Werner, Santi Debriano, John Betsch , and some more, I don´t remember them all.....

Early 00s, with Mabern and Mraz. 

Similar to other post 70s Shepp, but without the rumination on the Tradition: the vibe he's aiming for seems to be Left Bank chic.

Interesting. I don't know it but I shall remedy that situation.

I will buy anything on the AB Fable that I come across (which isn't as much as I'd like).

And Eddie South is somebody to never forget.

So this record is a true pleasure, a positive treat, and a real delight!
