So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Harish Raghavan "In Tense" Whirlwind Records cd

This one will test your system's bass playback. I like the music. . . Eric Harland always delivers, as does Joel Ross here.

Impressed by this one:

Jukka Eskola – Jukka Eskola (2005)

Not the cleverest, but enjoyable. Finnish trumpeter-led record that essentially updates and dumbs down In A Silent Way for enhanced danceability. I think it does a better job of being 'soul jazz' than most recent attempts to revive that sound, largely because it is forward looking.

Music that demands - and then rewards - multiple/repeated listening. 

Threadgill continues to deepen a language that is his and his alone yet does not require his participation as a player, as is evidenced by the fact that his presence here does not involve playing.

This is music built to last. I hope it does!
