Haven't heard anything about this so I'll definitely check it. Dunno where to find good current Jazz that isn't bad current Jazz.

I didn't mean to **** on your picks or anything, and I definitely get why a lot of people like The Epic. Basically I'm just trying to sort of explain my disappointment with this year's crop of critically acclaimed albums.

No worries, I admit that it isn't the most exciting list and I hope to find albums I like more than a lot of the picks on there, so I guess I'm saying the same thing.

^Check out the new Zu if you want to hear the new heavy jazz thing too.

Listened to this album for the first time in I don't know how long, but it's still gold. I was a Labor Days man for the longest time, but this is my favourite of his now.

Have you re-listened to Skelethon recently? That's tied with Labor Days for me, but Float and None Shall Pass are also top notch.

IMO None Shall Pass is his best.

Listened to it yesterday, actually. It's definitely got some of his better tracks on there, but as a whole album I put it below Float and Labor Days. I've never been able to get into None Shall Pass. Aesop is fine on it, but even though I generally like everything I hear from Blockhead, there's something about the production on that album that just doesn't click with me. Probably worth giving it another shot since it's the only album I've heard from him where I was disappointed though.

Janzoon recommend me this album and it's pretty damn good. it's a little slow paced and most of the songs have a long intro and take awhile to build up but after they do they're great. Judas and one caress alone made this album worth checking out.

Glad you liked it! One Caress is my hands-down favorite song ever to sing along to in the car. I can belt out every single note of that puppy right on key.

Terry Riley, Don Cherry - Live Köln 1975

Some minimalist classically inspired jazz drone stuff. I like.
