It was just a little bit of luck that I saw it. My wife and I were in Paris and, as I don’t know the city, before we left I searched online for live jazz. I found this Craig Taborn solo concert at Sunrise-Sunet. It wasn’t easy to get a sense of what kind of jazz Taborn specialized in just from a web search but he had played with good people so I decided to try it. I’m really glad I did, too… He really is an incredible musician… taborn_drawing

Incidentally, at the set break, I met another Brooklynite who actually lived in my neighborhood. He was a musician who was touring Europe with his band, Pitom. I haven’t run into him since I’ve been back or gotten a chance to hear his band but he was a nice guy and it was funny running into a neighbor halfway across the globe….

I've fund quite a few really great Don Cherry recordings over the past couple of months: Tibet - This is a great album from Cherry when he was living in Europe and incorporating more global influences into the music along with his progressive-jazz style of trumpet playing. Live at Cafe Montmartre 1966, Vol. 2 Live at Cafe Montmarte 1966 Vol. 2 - Another great live recording from 1966 when Cherry was playing with a group that included Gato Barbieri (at the high point (musically) of his career (in my humble opinion)). Bitter Funeral Beer Band with Don Cherry and K. Sridhar Live in Frankfurt '82 - Another great session with Cherry guest starring with a larger 'world music' ensemble.

More Musac Gems… http://www.ahsodes.com/blog/behold-more-musac-gems/ http://www.ahsodes.com/blog/behold-more-musac-gems/#comments Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:51:45 +0000 Holly http://www.ahsodes.com/blog/?p=12 If you have not heard the Mystic Moods Orchestra’s album, One Rainy Night…  I am so sorry…  I will pray for you…  :(

I don’t have any more of their albums, but if you have a recommendation, please send it along…

One of the things I like best about it is that all the tracks really bridge the gap between progressive and straight ahead seamlessly so that the music never entirely feels like either. And I may have missed this in his previous albums because the instrumentation was different, but In this album you can really hear how he has been influenced by Sonny Rollins. I might be crazy but I never noticed before how much his tone has in common with Rollins. This album reminded me (partially, I’m sure, because of the guitar) of The Bridge.

Go to the e-music where there are samples of each track. If you don’t feel like getting a subscription, get it at amazon.

Speaks of what is to come in later years with AEOC and Fontella Bass, or “in Brazil” on there’s a Trumpet in My Soul from Archie Shepp… My favorite kind jazz/fusion from that era; The Jazz flows in and out… AEOC (especially Lester Bowie) and Shepp really excelled at it.

Also on this album are a couple of tracks from Brigitte Fontaine (one with Areski).

Some other good tracks that I can’t think of right now…

Evolving Silence vol.1

Evolving Silence vol.2

Two albums of fantastic progressive jazz from three of today’s best. Some songs are more contemplative and earthy. Then others are definitely more urban and “raw”. Great stuff…

Found these two at e-music…

xhug – webcast from the University of Guadalajara. talk and music.

music.ahsodes.com- this site, currently, is basically a front end shell for my music database. In the future, when I have added more functionality to it, I would like for it to become a sort of musical zocalo… where people can share their ideas about music and recommendations…

bmoremus – This is the first incarnation of music.ahsodes… except here I was just putting up music that my friends and I liked…
