Rok, I liked your post; that was at a different time, and "entertaining" was required; however, it detracted from the seriousness of the music.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
OK folks, I'm doing something different this time, instead of listening before hand, and recommending, I'm going to use "Stereophile's" recommendations; and we can listen together. Ai Murakami Quartet; "Conception" is our first CD, with her as the leader. (don't ask me) They gave this 4 out of 5 stars on both sonics and performance, so it's got to be hot. Let's go for "Sweet Loraine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAldOWTGjHo Now we're going to listen and review all these together. Next is Nate Radley; "Morphoses". Didn't find "Morphoses" on "you tube", this is the best I could do, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wue_zFaMTuQ Last, but not least is, Wadada Leo Smith; "The Great Lakes Suites", this one gets 5 out of 5 stars on performance and over 4 on sonics; you know it's got to be smokin. I saw a few familiar names, although that doesn't mean a whole lot to me. The bottom line is, it's been said that I'm not ready for "new music", maybe that's so; the question is, "are you ready for new jazz? We'll listen to these and see who is ready for what? BTW just got this out of the mailbox, these recommendations are fresh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEvR_xyTnDU Enjoy the music. |
