What Are You Listening to? 2020

nah the summer 1975 Fripp/Eno gigs were after the called-off Winkies tour and the collapsed lung, this is 2 CDs of a monstrous Fripp/Eno gig playing versions of No Pussyfooting and Evening Star tracks, and then one whole bonus CD of pure Eno backing loops.

Her tenor centers jazz ballads, straight-ahead and dubwise, also cumbia and orbital, sounds of young London

Tenor sax

Sevish - Horixens
Young Jesus - Welcome to Conceptual Beach
Sonic Youth - Live at Cabaret Metro, Chicago IL 2002

Sudanese guitar player playing music taht sounds like an earlier version of the Ethiopiques sound. A cross between indigenous traditional sounds and Western pop. ITs interesting to hear the way the curlicues of teh Sudanese sound seems to coincide with what sounds like Western twist so I haven't woirke dout which it is at any point.
Quit enjoyable but pretty short at about 36 minutes.
Great anyway

this (Sharhabil Ahmed - King of Sudanese Jazz) is boss, thank you

Duke Ellington - "Chelsea Bridge"

xp seconding, the Sharhabil Ahmed is tight as hell thanks

Tom Petty - Long After Dark
Judy Roberts - The Judy Roberts Band

Dow, re: vocalese this Judy Roberts has a vocal version of “goodbye pork pie hat” that’s pretty sweet

machine drum - half the battle 1

I typically struggle with keeping up with new music, but whether they're all keepers or not there have been a lot of albums released in the last couple months that I've enjoyed. Hayley Williams, Cut Copy, Secret Machines, Kathleen Edwards, Jessie Ware, even that new Killers. Probably some other stuff I have already forgotten about as well, but that's more my problem than their problem.

seconding, the Sharhabil Ahmed is tight as hell thanks

I've been listening to it today. Pretty enjoyable, good sense of rhythmic movement.

What do you think of that, Chinaski?

It's good! By nature, it's a bit of a mess, but intriguingly so. It's doing interesting things with instrumentation above and beyond the folk roots it's launching from - sax squalls, gamelan. It reminds me of Third Ear Band in places, bits of Reich, Harold Budd, Marion Brown.

damn sleeve, is that the on the corner boxset box?

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/b102b121b99118c74da7aad2bb17ed70/5952604

really enjoying this, Terje Rypdal , Jan garbarek and a rhythm section they seemed to use a bit at the time in the shape of Arild Andersen
bass and Jon Christensen drums.
Veers between free jazz and rock and roll. Does it pretty well.
THink I may need to pick up some more titles with these 4 .
THis was reissued on Flying Dutchman a couple of years after its initial release and got reissued in that sleeve a few years ago. Found it pretty cheap online.

Finally, a live album representing a shortened complete set by this lot. I'm not sure how much it would show it bieng the notorious show it was if the legend didn't proceed it. Not sure how completely Dave Alexander throws things even on Loose and how much the audience would have picked up on onstage problems
Would be good to get a more functional more representative live set but soudns like the band had been having trouble with Alexander before this. I'm also remembering taht management had limited the amount of times the band played locally in the Michigan area to prevent teh audience becoming overfamiliar with teh band's material early on or something to that effect. So do wonder if there was such a thing a s a perfectly played gig anyway.
THis scorches in places. Asheton brothers are indeed on fire throughout.
I'm still intrigued as to what else was in the box of recordings from the festival and if any of that stuff is good enough for release.
Anyway, loving this.

Liked this so much I kept it on the 3 changer for another week.
Sounds like an early version of the sound on the 70s Ethiopiques lps i assume Sudan and Ethiopia must have some overlap in musical tradition they are pretty close geographically. THis mixed with some early 60s r'n'r/etc influences.
I think this is really good. Would be interested in hearing garage etc picking up on this as an influence, much as I would have loved to hear some picking up on the garagier parts of Ethiopiques 14 years or whatever ago. Not really heard it emerge though. BUt might show a new direction for dealing with the influences .
Anyway great great set that I'd recommend deeply. Need more like this, or showing the same invention and reinvention at least.

damn sleeve, is that the on the corner boxset box?
