It's a lot simpler than all of that.
Seventies jazz just started to open up and got the response that Bebop got a quarter century before, but now it was coming from Blue Note brown-nosers. "That's not jazz ... " You would've thought these people would've known that this movement wasn't just gonna be a flash in the pan after Bitches Brew - especially when ...Fillmore, Jack Johnson and Live-Evil had already come out before ...Corner. |

That doesn’t explain Eugene Chadbourne’s reaction.

0131 Juana Molina – Wed 21 (Argentina, 2013, folktronica / indietronica) What I like about Molina is that across the three albums of hers I have, I don’t know what to expect. Not only song to song but within a song, she’ll take unexpected left turns that always keeps her compositions fresh. |

0132 Tenhi – Maaäet (Finland, 2006, dark folk) You can cut the atmosphere on this one with a broad sword. All that is night and winter and magical is contained herein. This is my go-to album at night if they day has me wired and I need to calmly slide into a quiet evening. My favorite memory of this album is spinning this on vinyl at night while a storm raged outside. |

0133 Magdalith – Magdalith (France, 1974, avant-folk) Weird. This is coming up in the ADC soon. Anyway, I'll put a little something down here and expand on it next week in the Club. Magdalith has an amazing, unique voice, perfectly suited for avant-folk, for it equally frightens and excites. This is as freaky as vocals get, and I cannot help but think that we are getting only the slightest peek into the soul of a woman scarred by the Holocaust and enamored of the Eucharist. The vocals set the piano on fire. |

0134 Supersister – Present From Nancy (Netherlands, 1970, progressive rock / Canterbury scene) This is an incredible debut. They’ve got a great sound, like they’ve been playing together for a while. As always with the Canterbury scene, this band couches humor in complexity. |

0135 Зейнаб Ханларова (Zeynəb Khanlarova) - Поет Зейнаб Ханларова. Азербайджанские песни (Azerbaijan, 1978, Azerbaijani traditional / folk pop) This album was recorded in Turkey, her only album to be done outside the USSR. This is one of those obscure—for Western listeners—non-English language folk albums I’ve run across in my musical sojourn. This album always sends me to investigating what traditional Azerbaijani instruments, if any, I can hear on this album. I fear fiddles and drums, so I wonder if they are the kamancha and the gosha nagara. (Sorry, no listening link available.) |

0136 Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison (USA, 1968, country) I feel like I’m sitting right there in the prison with the guys watching the show—the most heartfelt, candid show I’ve ever heard. Not only is Cash an unparalleled storyteller, he’s really got a heart for the prisoners he’s playing for. I really like how the guys applaud, letting me know exactly what lyrics or licks best tickle the imprisoned listeners. The music rollicks along, but there are quite chilling moments, too, like when the voice announces normal prison business over the PA. Whenever I finish listening to this album, I have mixed feelings: I go on with my life, but those guys all go back to their cells. |
