Charles Lloyd/Billy Higgins :: Unreleased Duet, July 1993
Likely a precursor to the 2004 ECM double-duo-album Which Way Is East, which was Higgins’ final recording, the ’93 duet contains a familiar acoustic ambience—beautiful, ragged, scruffy—and sounds imprecise but locked in: theme and un-variation that could only be crafted by these two Americans.
George Shearing And The Montgomery Brothers :: Enchanted (1961)
There’s something raunchy, on-point-kitsch and universal about the cocktail piano holiday soundtracks that dominate the globe. Despite all the irony, the twilight balled “Enchanted” exists as an unearthed gem of elegant ivory work fit for the season and your next cozy get together. Penned by the sultriest of swingers, Sir George Shearing, the blissful track comes halfway through an underrated, self-titled collaborative album, George Shearing and the Montgomery Brothers, recorded in Los Angeles under the direction of Orrin Keepnews for the Jazzland label back in 1961.
The Lagniappe Sessions :: Uncivilized | All Chico Hamilton Set
All Chico Hamilton set. The NYC based collective interprets five tunes from the jazz drummer’s 1965 album, El Chico. A record that bandleader Tom Csatari describes as “effortless music with pulse and an eye towards the unknown”, he and his group suffuse the selections here with the same liberated and exuberantly searching ethos.
Chico Hamilton:: El Chico (1965)
El Chico takes Hamilton’s swinganova reworkings of the old songbook to new heights, with the added sound of Hungarian psychedelic-jazz troubadour Gabor Szabo’s acoustic guitar… the results of this confluence are romping and ragged.
Daniel Aged :: Not A Dream
This latest album is Aged’s gauziest, wooziest, and fuzziest work to date: sounds are soft and unfocused, while the overall narrative is consistent and full of a very specific-but-elusive vibe.
It cannot be reduced; described; commodified; labeled; etc.
Joni Mitchell w/ Brian Blade :: Fez Club NYC, 1995 | Bootleg
This is folk-jazz straight from the source, folks. Shimmering, harplike chords swirl around Mitchell’s sylvan-siren-meets-full-throated-thrush descants, while Blade’s thundering percussion and cymbal splashes push it into those poignant uppers.
Roscoe Mitchell Sextet :: Sound (1966)
Sound’s impact can be felt along a wide spectrum of contemporary sonic explorers: The saxophonists Chris Pitsiokos, Sam Gendel and Aaron Burnett, for instance; as well as in the works of the drummer/composer Tyshawn Sorey and his iconoclastic contemporaries Mary Halvorson and Jeremiah Cymerman; and not to mention the Folk-Jazz experimentalist Sam Amidon.
Jimi Hendrix :: Nine To The Universe
Still unreleased, the full, unedited “Nine To The Universe” finds Hendrix summoning forces of unnatural transcendence that nearly explode out of the speaker. The extra 10 minutes offer some of the guitarist’s most unadulterated, bluesadelic soul and stretching improvisations, with bent-nail guitar rips and wah-wah wails from here to the cosmos.
Gabor Szabo :: Live With Charles Lloyd
1972 found Gabor Szabo—recently signed to Blue Thumb—jamming with his old bandmate Charles Lloyd on flute with a compact quintet deemed “Spellbinder” at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. The five-track LP is on fire with bright, exploratory, pastoral works that flicker with bright life.
Ronald “RJ” Miller :: FREE SOUL
The third installment from Maine-based ambient jazz drummer Ronald “RJ” Miller is his most ambitious and rewarding to date. FREE SOUL is a new chapter—a collage-type work which feels glitchy and yet deeply alive.
Lee Konitz, Jazz Pioneer and Acoustic Experimentalist Claimed by Covid19 Complications at 92
The Chicago-born, nonagenarian American saxophonist and composer Leon “Lee” Konitz, known most notably for his pioneering playing on Miles Davis’ 1950 Birth of the Cool album, passed away on Thursday night from complications with the Covid-19 virus.
Bandcamping :: Quarantine Edition
We’ve been espousing Bandcamp as one of the most artist friendly online music services since launching Tyler Wilcox’s Bandcamping series. Today, Friday, March 20th, in support of artists impacted by the mass tour cancelations required by the COVID-19 outbreak, Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share, putting more money directly into the pockets of artists hit hard by this unprecedented loss of income.
Tom & Lee :: Folk-Jazz Explorations
Tom & Lee finds the pairing of NYC-based composers / multi-instrumentalists Tom Csatari and Levon Henry. A spirited folk jazz duo, featuring Csatari on guitar, slide, and effects, and Henry […]
