From 20 years ago, when Shipp and those around him were experimenting with mixing in electronics and hip hop. It's good stuff, even if they eventually gave up and returned to acoustic music.
Struggling to find the right music today. Now on this:
Weather Report - I sing the body electric
From about the time of Live in Japan, that I posted recently. And side 2 of this is reputed to come from that album. I've never listened to them one after the other to verify for myself.
My brain says no, my...? says yes. Whats that all about? I have to say it wouldn't be tolerated in this house by others. There again not much is. You keep slipping in these tracks, confusing well done
London musicians being inspired by a certain Miles Davis platter more than 50 years on. What I've heard so far is really good. It's not a straightforward tribute, but an album that uses the jam into edited and mixed highlights method that the original did. You can occasionally hear bits of Bitches Brew somewhere in there, too. And it's all the better for it.
I dont know what the weather is like were you are today but here its quite gorgeous. So a bit a bit of Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Thats The way It is. mmm

It's really nice and sunny! And no cold wind, either

Walter Smith III, on reeds, plays the best I've ever heard him, but all three are brilliant. You have to be in trio format like this. There's nowhere to hide.

I'm still streaming and enjoying this.
For me, that's far better than the MD original! Take that Bitches!

Crikey, I may even get that...
That's cool.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying it's better. Bitches Brew was an amazing step into the unknown over half a century ago. But London Brew is still pretty fantastic!
Almost passes my non jazz ears! Who can refuse some hot sax
Two jazz albums liked by you???? What are you on, my man?
I wouldn't have thought this was for you, at all, Chris. It's deep in what I think of as today's jazz mainstream (I emphasise, that's how I think of it). How wrong I am.
Maybe you're liking it because a piano would tend to be playing those supporting jazz chords? I don't know.
I wasn't paying much attention though, when my son walked in and said "what's with the epileptic piano?".....
Duke Ellington Money Jungle....oops!
Anyway, followed by Dave Mason Alone Together....sounds a lot like All Along The Watchtower I thought....looked at RP comments, seems others thought the same. In a good way though, rather liked it.
Charlie Haden, Jan Garbarek and Egberto Gismonti - Folk Songs
I think you need to find the individual tracks on YT.
It's part of my musical heritage, this one (which reminds me, wasn't I supposed to piece something together for @Simplemind? Sorry about that. I need to get on the case). It came out during my first year at Birmingham University and I bought it on vinyl (what else?). I'm streaming it from Qobuz at the moment.

Matthew Shipp - Equilibrium
From 20 years ago, when Shipp and those around him were experimenting with mixing in electronics and hip hop. It's good stuff, even if they eventually gave up and returned to acoustic music.
Good old Mr Spear. Love his music.

William Parker Quartet - Petit Oiseau
Sooooo good!
But I'm really glad you're getting some measure of enjoyment from it. This is some quartet, so you're liking the good stuff

Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness
It's a double live CD, but there are only a couple of tracks on YT
Where the great bass player plays, er, piano
It's still one of my favourite Mingus albums, one I discovered while I was a student.
King Ayisoba - Work Hard
I've been streaming this on an off for the past couple of weeks. I may even put it on the buy list.
Enjoy your water play
Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions
Is it me, or is there only one great track on the album?
Kendrick Scott - Corridors

I'll have to listen to London Brew with the idea of math rock in my bonce. I'm wondering if it's more hip hop than math rock, but leave it with me.
Radio Paradise, Main Mix
streaming at the moment.
The Pharaohs - Awakening
The band that eventually metamorphosed into Earth Wind and Fire, the Pharaohs were an unholy mix of early 70s funk and Sun Ra.
Dave Mason: I don't see a track called Alone Together, but I now have the album on my playlist. I may not get to it today!
