This was a surprisingly enjoyable nighttime listen
It's comforting to think that somewhere unfathomably far away incomprehensible beings are possibly having some kind of subjective experience of a world that possibly observes basically the same laws as our own
idris ackamoor & the pyramids alice coltrane turiyasangitananda the ashram experience tiger trio myra melford / joelle leandre / nicole mitchell the music of legendary hasaan ogjb quartet joe fonda / oliver lake / graham haynes / barry altschul annette peacock dave burrell full-blown trio with darius jones and chad taylor
I got a ticket already regardless, going with my dad (we went last year because sun ra arkestra and anthony braxton were gonna be there but were totally floored by all these artists we'd never heard of)
I don't really know much about these besides alice coltrane stuff, what do you recommend I give a good listen to it before the actual festival?
Ive been listening to this show on the Vancouver-based internet radio called No Fun Radio, and it's seriously the best (i.e. most aligned with what I like) collection of jazz I've come across!
After taking stock of my Jazz collection, it seems that I don't really have anything BEFORE 1955 and AFTER 1977. Is all 80's/90's jazz... terrible? Why does every modern jazz album sound so clean and awful?
I am slowly warming to Kamasi Washington, but what else is out there in this vein right now?
I saw her when she played here in London and it was legit one of the best shows of my life. The whole band was so good.
I got her to sign my copy!
