This track's been on my mind quite a bit lately.

Anybody notice that this guy who joined 12 years ago just randomly posted once and then bounced?

ziggywas 02-06-2019 11:06 AM

and now Monk's brilliant corners.
great stuff too!
i wanted to go buy a record as a gift to a jazz-lover, couldnt find the record i wanted so over the next couple of days i downloaded and began listening some of the available options, and i have heard like 3-4 masterpieces for the first time!

Blarobbarg 02-17-2019 01:14 PM



Harsh, noisy, lofi, nearly-free jazz. It is almost frightening in its intensity.

Wow!!
Keep on eye on Nicole Glover. Amazing talent.

^^^^^^ yeah, boy - good era ^^^^^^

Altschul (and Bennink too) kept me occupied in my practice room in those days.
Especially Altschul's work with Circle. Wore the following double album out many
times back in those days. Loved his (still do) seven and half minute percussion solo
that introduces Braxton's 73° Kelvin. Have that Braxton twisted melody memorized
to the point where I can whistle it.



Another great album. Just swap Corea with Rivers.

Some of what he plays is like what but a lot of it works for me. At the very least he has a decent knack for when to play and when not to. **** it, I think he’s good.

I'm looking for some essential Braxton to dive into. I listened to my copy of Duets 1976 last night and was very disappointed.

Frownland 04-17-2019 10:31 AM

He's got so much stuff. I honestly haven't come across anything by him that I didn't like, but For Alto, Silence, and Eight (+3) Tristano Compositions 1989: For Warne Marsh are all pretty great. I'm sure that rostasi and OH have some good recs too.

Dafuq? Was it the incoherency with the traditional stuff mixed in? I like that record. I respect him for playing it straight like that. I suggest giving it another chance and coming from a place of no expectations.

I gave this a listen earlier today:

I just felt he meandered a lot on it. It was my second listen. Just didn't hit me right. Thanks for the suggestions though guys.

OccultHawk 04-17-2019 04:00 PM

I know that most people here don’t agree with me on this point but with some artists you just have to trust them. It’ll take you there but you have to recognize it’s beyond a personal critical assessment. That’s what the “unassailable” thing is about it.

Honestly, I know it doesn’t make sense to people but I stand by this. Occasionally forgo judgement and approach it like you would an experience with nature instead of art. Just let it happen.

Frownland 04-17-2019 04:29 PM

That's how I generally approach artists.

Blarobbarg 04-21-2019 05:16 PM

How is this album this perfect? I honestly do not understand.


OccultHawk 04-21-2019 07:05 PM

Mingus and Dolphy? What’s your beef?
