I have to be in the mood, but Ware remains the successor to Coltrane. For me, no living sax player has taken up the baton from Ware. There's such structure and logic to his out playing.
I've long forgotten who referred to my musical taste as farty jazz. I do remember that Ugly Music came from a friend of mine saying: Hey Dave, are you going to play any of that ugly music?
Aaron Parks (the drummer, not the pianist) - Parks and Wreck A kind of 2020 fusion. Yep, it’s back again. i can’t find it on YT, but you can stream it.
Dug one out today I haven't listened to for a while, used to be a major spinner and I have no idea why it slipped off the playlist, still love this despite it being way off my usual tatste...
Bill Evans - You Must Believe in Spring (Remastered 2022) Sounding very good streaming from Qobuz. I guess this is where streaming comes in. I'd never buy this in a month of Sundays, but I'm in the mood for a bit of Bill this evening.
Drop everything! Mary Halvorson's new album, Amaryllis (one of two released simultaneously), is fantastic. I've been playing it on and off recently in the office, but it's really clicking on the main system - yeah, I know, I should be outside, but who the heck wants sunburn?
Here's an album that's been recommended to me a number of times but I've always neglected to investigate.
Yesterday I caught up with it and was very happy I did!
There's even some marginally ugly inspired passages to rouse Dave's interest
I shall add it to my playlist (wherever it went).
I gave it a bit of a distracted listen. Chores and all that. But it sounds good. I've favourited it on Qobuz so I can listen to it properly some time. I see they also have another album on there.
Shabaka and the Ancestors - We are sent here by history
It's nicely redemptive, too. I like it!
Similar here, just a quick listen. The track you link to made me think "
if early Santana had come from Africa ". Others had a different mood so
I'll also give this a proper listen later .
Just right for the weather we're having at the moment, where I am. Funky/groovy west African music with a mainly rootsy flavour, but the odd bit of electronics. Bugger it, I can't really describe it this morning.

Anyone else celebrating
Correct!

One of the greats, if not his greatest album. Still absolutely worth a listen, though.

I'll give it a go. I have a feeling I've heard the album way back in the day.
