Have been listening to Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch and Albert Ayler's Live at Greenwhich Village...can anyone recommend some other intense jazz albums

I've been on a binge with Ayler's Live 1966 Lorrach/Paris.
Check about Pharaoh Sanders "Deaf Dumb Blind."

ah yea, machine gun is lovely

The correct answer is always Henry Threadgill.

I had a thread on this a week or so back, though it was focused more on funky fiery free jazz - there are some good recommendations there

Fuck De Boere is my desktop image. Fucking incredible record.

― Ryan Pitchfork (Ryan Pitchfork), Friday, 21 October 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

Also, Ayler's "Angels" on Live in Greenwich Village is stunning. Love Cry is great as well-- doesn't have the best reputation, but the shorter version of "Ghosts" on there is one of my favorites of his.

Cecil Taylor's Unit Structures generates a lot of heat.

The Corsano/Flaherty "Last Eyes" record.

The photobooth pics on the sleeve are ace, too. Odd couple, or what.

Ditto

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 21 October 2005 11:31 (twenty years ago)

I really like the new Haden Liberation Orchestra.

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

The Corsano/Flaherty "Last Eyes" record.
The photobooth pics on the sleeve are ace, too. Odd couple, or what.

Its "companion" album Steel Sleet is even better. Get 'em both! Corsano's drumming is really something else.

I'd also recommend Owl Sounds on the Colour Sounds label - particularly the CD they did with Arrington de Dionyso* - for some contemprary firey sounds.

* ... although the disc will probably be rendered unplayable by conventional (ie. non-computer) CD players by the sticky glitter that comprises part of the packaging.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk and where in G-d's name is Sun Ra?

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Oh, and the Marion Brown Quartet's album. Never heard anything else but I love "Capricorn Moon."

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

You must hear John Coltrane's Meditations - it's so over the top, you'll laugh out loud. Its best on vinyl - you just stick the needle down about 2/3 of the way though on either side ... & it makes Motorhead sound twee.

I am a fan, btw - it's just that this particular album is unhinged.

If you don't believe me (and this clip is comparatively mild), have a listen and try to not to grin after about halfway through:

MASAYUKI TAKAYANAGI & KAORU ABE Mass Projection and Gradually Projection

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

Noah Howard's At Judson Hall, The Black Ark and Live At The Village Vanguard are all recommended, as are Frank Wright's s/t album, Your Prayer, Church Number Nine and Uhura Na Umoja (which is really a Noah Howard date - he wrote all the tunes).

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I've never heard Noah Howard, but I love that Frank Wright Uhura Na Umoja disc.

Yeah, no kidding.

heavy "hard" rock

soft "twee" pop

― willem (willem), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Jez - OTM - a great album - nothing really meditative about it.

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 21 October 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

Second on the Takayanagi. I would pick maybe Freeform Suite though.
Derek Bailey & Evan Parker - Compatibles
Cecil Taylor - Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants)
Derek Bailey & Jamie Muir - Dart Drug
Ornette Coleman - Crisis
Just about anything Anthony Braxton has done, especially:
Dortmund 1976
London 1985
Willisau 1991

― Brakhage (brakhage), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Oops, should have put Topography of the Lungs rather than Compatibles.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

And maybe Dart Drug is too ... ambient or something. Anyway, it's a great record.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

other flatherty/corsano thing... cold bleak heat... crazee.

weasel walter posted this list to an email list we both happened to be on... it was about emusic and how for the free 50 tracks, you could get 10 free jazz records that destroy...

"atrocious energy pileup with the early euro heavies of the new thing - three trumpets, three saxes, trombone, three pianos, two drummers, three basses and derek bailey in stun-mode. 30 minutes of invigorating HELL."

I love it!

amen to whoever said sharrock's "ask the ages"
... stellar regions by coltrane is beautiful and melodically dense... I think joe henderson did some stuff in this genre too, like "barcelona"

― xavier mcshane (xave), Friday, 21 October 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Joe Henderson's Inner Urge is melodic yet pretty out at times. "El Barrio" pretty much foreshadows David S. Ware's entire career.
