These can be a bit weird and challenging - however, the SQ on the recordings are rather very good !
I like that muchly. They're on the find on Qobuz list!
Dave, if you do find it on Qobuz let me know how the YTube version compares to it will you?
I couldn't find anything with the same cover, so at the moment, I'm assuming it's not there. I haven't looked for the track name, though.
There are two bands called the Henrys, it seems. The one you posted from YT and a straightforward American rock band. So, having eliminated the rock band, I'm left with just one album from what appears to be the right band, the one with the cartoon creature on the cover and no lettering, called Shrug.
It was only listened to while I was doing other stuff, so it could, just possibly, be from the wrong band, too.
After the confusion over the Henrys, how about one of the best albums I've found by Norwegian trumpeter and electronicist (now I've typed it, I'm not sure if it's a word, but you get my drift, no doubt) Arve Henriksen. There are a few tracks on YT:
The album has many of the usual suspects.
Personnel:
Arve Henriksen: trumpet, piccolo trumpet, piano
Nils Γkland: violin, Hardanger fiddle, viola dβamore
Okay, same guitarist Guthrie Govan again. This is the extended version of another post I made a little while back. I'm not going to apologise in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM for it either. If you don't like this, then I'm afraid to say that you are utterly devoid of any Soul WHAT-SO-EVER !! π€π
Today I've been listening to Blue Haze by the Marcus Bunton Trio
On Spotify (apparently on the other streaming services too.)
On Youtube the first track is here: and the rest is split up for some reason.
It's jazz, and quite nice to my ear. It's by a friend's son and he's 12, which I think elevates it to pretty bloody amazing. He did composition and piano. Definitely a talent to watch for in the future!
Hopefully Mr @uglymusic will get something out of it at least

I'm sure I've asked you this before, but which are the key albums?
You've just listened to one of them.
My faves are the last two with his grunge band The Screaming Trees, namely Sweet Oblivion and Dust.
Maybe not your thing though?
Solo, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost. Collaboration with Isobel Campbell ( 1 of 3 ), Hawk. Collaboration with Duke Garwood, With Animals. With his later band, Phantom Radio.

All IMHO, of course.
OK. You are right. My least favourite were the two from The Screaming Trees. FWIW, I preferred Dust.
Otherwise, I loved all of them. I'm going to play them again.
Back on the jazz thing, dude (and the rest of you )
Rob Brown Ensemble - Crown Trunk Root Funk
It looks like pretty much all of the album is on YT as separate tracks.
It has a fantastic line-up of New York players. Brown on alto (and other blowing things), my favourite pianist of the moment, Craig Taborn, William Parker on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums.
If you listen in the right frame of mind, you can even hear the funk
I've never like Stevie Ray Vaughan. He's always seemed to me one of the worst examples of blues rock guitarists. But I liked that. What is wrong with me????
I'll play the album today. You may have illuminated an entire sub-genre for me. Or maybe not!
On a different note ( no not blue ) I caught Radiohead's The National Anthem on the radio. I'm not a fan because of the vocals, which is a shame as they're great instrumentalists. Anyway, this one which becomes deliberately discordant made me think, "would this qualify as Ugly Music" .

Over to you Dave?
Ugly Music classification? Now that's a rabbit hole
This track sounds like a free-jazz blow-out over a rock rhythm section in the second half.
In November 1999, Radiohead recorded a horn section playing free jazz, inspired by the "organised chaos" of the live album Town Hall Concert by the jazz musician Charles Mingus. Yorke described Town Hall Concert as "just fucking chaos ... There's this incredible tension and it was the most formative record of the whole time."
Yorke and Greenwood directed the musicians to sound like a "traffic
jam". According to Yorke, he jumped up and down so much during his
conducting that he broke his foot. Yorke said: "The running joke when we were in the studios was, 'Just blow. Just blow, just blow, just blow.'"
They clearly didn't understand Mingus' music, so my answer is that The National Anthem is music that is deliberately ugly for the sake of it, rather than Ugly Music.

This is the first one I found on YT...
The entire album on Spotty is worthwhile but the last 3 tracks particularly as they include harpsichord.
Will check it out π
Thanks.

Curtis Mayfield. Now you're talking. My favourite soul singer bar none!

Of course. Thanks!
There's a lot of tabla here
Whole album is great, my favourite from him.
This is good. Bits of klezmer in there, I think.
Used to play 'Riviera Paradise' as last track of the evening -would just dispel any tension before heading up the wooden hill π
