Have cds by both. Which are pretty good.

Classic Chicago cosmic earthy stratafying:

As Peter Magarsak says in liner notes:
...the group injects something new and distinctive into every piece, including the opener “Orgasm,” an Alan Shorter tune from 1969 that Taylor first arranged for a 2018 project in Philadelphia, which toggles between groovy hypnosis and spacey yet tumultuous exploration. And group originals take their own directions from that gateway.

released March 27, 2020

Ditto Jeff Parker's latest solo album

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0572868824_16.jpg

“I’m always looking for ways to be surprised,” says composer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker as he explains the process, and the thinking, behind his new album, Suite for Max Brown, released via a new partnership between the Chicago–based label International Anthem and Nonesuch Records. “If I sit down at the piano or with my guitar, with staff paper and a pencil, I’m eventually going to fall into writing patterns, into things I already know. So, when I make music, that’s what I’m trying to get away from—the things that I know.”

Cleaning my basement and going through boxes of old promo CDs. I’ve had five Putumayo African collections on shuffle for the past week. I know they got a bad rap as yuppie wallpaper music or whatever, but I’m finding them extremely comforting right now.

xp Powerage/HtH is the peak, I agree, in retrospect I shoulda thrown on the live one which imo has superior versions of numerous LTBR tunes

Hi no lime, you might like this recent Smithsonian Folkways release, which I haven't heard yet---whole thing is on bandcamp:
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2806917993_10.jpg

These largely unheard tapes were recorded at Doc Watson’s two earliest concerts, presented in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1962. Those shows were among the rare appearances Doc’s father-in-law, fiddler Gaither Carlton, made outside of North Carolina. The instrumental pieces, including Gaither’s signature tune “Double File,” include intricate musical interactions developed through years of family music-making. On the songs and ballads, Doc’s instantly recognizable baritone voice is accompanied by his own guitar and Gaither’s fiddle, or by the traditional combination of fiddle and banjo.

I think that's the first time I've ever properly looked at the illustration on the front of that Black Flag record, damn.

Just listened to this several times in a row---strung out on Whitney yet again (*one* of the questions it brings to mined: was young Elvis Costello ever inspired by "Crimson and Clover"? Not that she sings like him, o hell no)
