"Weird Means Something You Never Heard Before": Rolling Jazz D-bag Thread 2015

Cecile's first album was a monster and she's among the best live vocalists I've ever seen but I cannot get into her release from this year.

Interesting. Will check out that first album, thanks.

Just downloaded two albums by bassist Konstantin Ionenko on the Russian label Fancy Music - $2 each on Bandcamp. Check http://bandcamp.com/burningambulance if you're interested.

xxp

probably need to check that first Cecile album because I loved her voice but found some of her mannerisms a bit forced and going into bad-pastiche territory on her latest.

Any Norwegians (or people who can read Norwegian) in the thread? I wrote the cover story for the new issue of Jazznytt, on Snarky Puppy:

I made some attempt to learn it several years ago, can still sort of read it with help of a dictionary obv.

I am really feeling that Tomeka Reid Quartet album, she was aces on the AACM album with Nicole Mitchell as well and joy of joys she has Halvorson on board.

I'm wrapping this thread up for the year. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
