So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

James Francies “Purest Form” Blue Note cd

Just as in the past I would choose an artist such as Wynton Kelly or James Spaulding or Wilbur Ware to aid in exploring new music for a time (by buying sessions where they were sidemen) this decade I have picked Joel Ross and/or Immanuel Wilkins as artists to look for as sidemen on an album. That led me to this one.

Not quite what I expected. I’m digesting it.

I couldn't find a cover image, but I'm listening to Out of the Comfort Zone by Gerald Dunn and the Jazz Disciples, an album produced by Bobby Watson.  I found it at a book sale two days ago.  He was previously unknown to me, but Dunn is an important member of the KC scene, working as a saxophonist, at the American Jazz Museum and as a promoter.  He even has an annual event providing wellness checks to musicians.  It's a solid album.

I love that reinterpretation but also the source album

I didn't know about it until now! It's great.

A very different record but that fact makes both records better.

Strange that this is the second remix of the record after the Jamie xx one. Were they not happy with it?

Or did they just want to make more money...and cash in on Makaya's name? Ever cynical

Some Hubbard this AM. 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Pepper Adams - Ephemera (Spotlite). Why hasn't anyone released this digitally? It's really good and should be available somewhere by now.
