OTM. I've heard good things about when he plays R&B gigs on electric too, although I haven't seen for myself.

I love how you can always really hear the room in VV recordings, and because of all the famous recordings there, you wind up hearing echoes of them in new ones.

digging into the jose james record and i'm really, really feeling it. there's a lot more chris dave than i expected too (it's killing that i don't have track-by-track credits for this record....you'd think blue note of all labels would post them somewhere!).

I've been digging through criss cross stuff on Spotify a lot lately, and I'm kind of surprised by how many one-offs there are by randos featuring sick backing bands who seem to be playing at 80%. It's always like "Introducing Jorm Stiegmuller" feat Brian Blade, Peter Bernstein, Christian McBride and Chris Potter. Tight but forgettable record of standards/bop classics/dated-sounding "modern" originals.

OTOH I have been revisiting Tim Warfield's releases on Criss Cross (got into him briefly after seeing him with Nicholas Payton once), and I really like them -- very straight ahead, but band just has a vibe. Cyrus Chestnut, Clarence Penn, Tarus Mateen, Terrell Stafford on the one I'm listening to right now
― space phwoar (Hurting 2), Thursday, 21 February 2013 15:35 (eleven years ago) link
lol @ "introducing jorm stiegmuller".
copying my list of criss cross faves from the 2012 thread:
billy drummond, dubaiclarence penn, penn's landingralph peterson, the art of warmelvin rhyne, mel's spellconrad herwig & brian lynch, que viva coltraneherlin riley, cream of the crescent

btw my favorite tim warfield is on that christian mcbride record, 'a family affair'. have you heard that? the opening track is one of my all-time faves, and it's got some other serious cuts.
― queeple qua queeple (Jordan), Thursday, 21 February 2013 16:08 (eleven years ago) link
Warfield's got a new one out this week with Nicholas Payton (who's become such a loudmouth asshole it actually dissuades me from listening to his playing), Cyrus Chestnut, Rodney Whitaker and Clarence Penn. I'm hoping to give it a listen soon, and might interview Warfield for Burning Ambulance.

So far this year very impressed with new Omar Sosa (homage to Kind of Blue but in afrocuban style), Teri Lyne Carrington (homage to Money Jungle), and Hiromi (2013 on these shores so I'm counting it). Some other stuff too -- that Wayne Shorter sounds all right to me, but Patricia Barber is not something that can be listened to casually so I'm still up in the air about her new one.

Released last year but I'm making my way through Leo Smith's Ten Freedom Summers now. First disc has string quartet and piano all over it. A few 'free' sections but all is planned, the intense passages you usually get with that kind of music are cut-off, but this is just the kind of mix between classical ensemble and improvisation I'm interested in.
Just starting...choosing this thread as a notepad of lame impressions if I have anymore.

Listening to it now. It may very well end up working as an introduction to Shipp.

It's a good compilation, but the title (and the art) have to be a deliberate, very dry joke.

Got a new album by tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens in the mail yesterday - well, new as in it's a 2013 release, but it was recorded in 2010. The band is Ambrose Akinmusire on trumpet, Jaleel Shaw on alto sax, Taylor Eigsti on piano, Joe Sanders on bass, Justin Brown on drums, and Gretchen Parlato sings on two tracks. I liked Stephens' last album, so I'm interested to hear this one. It's called That Nepenthetic Place, and it comes out mid-April.

Hurting, that's why you have to start taking guitar lessons again, to do your part. Or come to Terraza 7 every once in a while. Tonight you can see Ari Hoenig- in case you missed him at the Winter Jazzfest mentioned upthread- play a duet with that quietly intense guitar genius from the island of Guadeloupe, Jean-Christophe Maillard. Tomorrow there is a bass player who plays with the guy who is linked in that article, Greg Diamond, who might end up showing up so you can ask him about the pie chart.
― Johnny Too Borad (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 19 March 2013 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry, he didn't play guitar last night but another instrument, some kind of custom-made eight-string bass saz.
― Johnny Too Borad (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 20 March 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago) link
IDK, I looked up that guy and he looks a bit too natty dread for my taste. Does his music sound like his hair looks?
― space phwoar (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 20 March 2013 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
Are you sure about that? I couldn't find him on this thread: GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER...

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Despite the rastaesque appearance, Hurting, in this case you would be very wrong to judge a book by its cover, he plays with an icy precision, as if his fingers were transmitting the results of the cold equations directly from brain to instrument.
― Johnny Too Borad (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 March 2013 02:31 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry, just wanted to say The Cold Equations.
Anyway, tonight at the same venue, my bass playing neighbor and a few cats from Paquita D'Rivera's band. They are playing a few Coltrane tunes but surprisingly not Equinox.

Listening to Barry Altschul's The 3dom Factor, a trio date featuring Jon Irabagon on tenor sax, Joe Fonda on bass, and Altschul on drums. For anyone who doesn't know, Altschul is a fucking amazing drummer who was part of Sam Rivers' 1970s trio, Anthony Braxton's quartet as heard on Five Pieces 1975 and The Montreux/Berlin Concerts, the band on Dave Holland's Conference of the Birds, the group Circle (with Braxton, Holland and Chick Corea), and on and on. He worked with Irabagon (who's best known as 1/4 of Mostly Other People Do The Killing) on the saxophonist's album Foxy in 2010, and he and Fonda have been part of the FAB Trio with violinist Billy Bang for decades. This is a killer album of free-but-swinging post-bop with amazing solos from everybody. Highly recommended.

I've bought a bunch of stuff by saxophonist Tim Warfield from eMusic and Amazon MP3 in the last couple of weeks - six albums in all - and I'm interviewing him tomorrow. He's a straightahead tenor player who works with Nicholas Payton, Orrin Evans and guys like that.

there are so many hip, super-accomplished drummers these days but he's got that elvin thing where he can just kill you with one hit.

yeah I think there are probably more killer jazz drummers than ever in terms of versatility and chops and groove, but he all that plus a ridiculous amount of style

i wonder how much could be attributed to Youtube, like young kids watching gospel chops videos for inspiration/competition/ideas before they get to musical school.
