The Pyramids
Lalibela

Wild spiritual and afro jazz. On the cusp of being free but in a more tribal way. Crazy rhythm section.

This is my listening plan for the rest of the day.

FYI: https://www.thewire.co.uk/galleries/...r-the-pyramids

Quote:
The Pyramids came together in the 1970s at Antioch College, Ohio, as part of Cecil Taylor’s Black Music Ensemble.
This book that I recently finished had a bunch of information about this but I don’t remember this band and I tried to make note of any names dropped that I didn’t know. Probably in there but I forgot.

This a fantastic read for people with a solid background knowledge on free jazz. It is VERY dense with information. It’s not juicy fun stuff about the artists though; it’s facts about the music and its recognized place in American culture. Some of the stats concerning the lack of appreciation are depressing but on the other hand, the permanence of the free jazz masters is a rectification.

Published in 2007 I hope the author has been paying attention to what has happened musically since then.

Just listened to the opener. Joe Satriani goes to art school, and I mean that in the most insulting way possible.

Jack Costanzo - Mr. Bongo (2015)

Quote:
The phrase 'living legend' is undoubtedly overused but there can be few people more deserving of such an accolade than Jack Costanzo. Born on the 24th September 1919, Costanzo is arguably the most significant percussionist of the modern era. Playing with many key orchestras, leading his own band, appearing in numerous TV shows and films and tutoring bongo playing to the stars, more than any other figure Jack Costanzo brought percussion, specifically Latin percussion and his trademark bongos, to widespread attention. But he wasn't merely a popularist, he was in turn revered by his peers and critics alike for his natural ability, invention, and perhaps most importantly his sheer versatility. He became known as 'Mr. Bongo' (first coined by jazz critic Leonard Feather), and the tag could hardly be more appropriate.
