Yeah, it was just re-released by Modern Harmonic. I put the wrong date in.

Sun Ra & His Myth Science Arkestra - When Angels Speak of Love

Quote:
When Angels Speak of Love, released in 1966 on Sun Ra's Saturn label, is a rarity, there having been limited pressings (150 copies, by one estimate), which were sold thru the mail and at concerts and club dates. The tracks were taped in New York during two 1963 sessions at the Choreographer's Workshop, a rehearsal space/recording den with warehouse acoustics. Ra spent countless hours at the CW from 1961 to 1964 sharpening the Arkestra during exhaustive musical huddles.

June Tyson - Saturnian Queen of the Sun Ra Arkestra (2019)

Quote:
Undoubtedly the most sublime constellation in the Sun Ra cosmos, June Tyson’s voice is the perfect guide through one of the most challenging and varied musical legacies ever created. Capable of fierce and sassy declamations as well as intricate melodic weavings, June's voice transcends genre. This first-ever collection affirms June Tyson’s unassailable gravity in Sun Ra’s realm, and features some of June's most popular numbers along with previously unissued tracks. The LP and CD versions include a full color zine-style insert with rare Tyson family photos and extensive liner notes by Cat Celebrezze.

As one of Sun Ra’s closest artistic collaborators for almost 25 years, June Tyson represented Afrofuturism as boldly and powerfully as her Saturnian leader. He was the king of Afrofuturism and June was the queen.

Here's one track from an album of cool jazz fusion from Volker Kriegel, guitarist. Although the cover shows guitars, the music is nicely balanced with plenty of keyboard soloing too:-



This is great music to listen to while you're typing some Christmas emails to England (and probably works for other destinations too.)

I’ve never heard this before. Got it on a soon to check out playlist

Lisnaholic 12-30-2019 08:04 PM
^ Yes, he was new to me until a couple of days ago as well. Here's another of his albums, Octember, that'll only take 35-mins to check out:-

Nothing spectacular so far on Octember, but consistent, sensitive, top-quality musicianship running through it all. That's my opinion anyway, but I'll defer to your verdict on Volker's assailability. ;)

Har​-​You Percussion Group - Har​-​You Percussion Group

Quote:
Their super-rare legendary Latin funk release originally came out on ESP in 1969/1970. Although the title says Percussion Group, this is actually a Latin soul group led by master conga player Montego Joe as part of the Harlem Youth program of the 60's. (Alto legend Jackie McLean worked with the group at one point earlier). A fantastic raw mix of funky bass, heavy drums, burning horn lines and soulful vocals, this is quite simply one of the great Latin releases of all-time. Includes the monster tracks "Welcome to the Party," "Feed Me Good," and "Oua-Train."

It is. Discogs has it listed as a 1968 release, though. And the original album cover is a bit different, also...

Very ECM style but his style of trumpet playing makes this interesting.

OccultHawk 01-15-2020 11:25 AM
Does ECM need to apologize for putting out tons of high quality records now?

I think I know what you mean that the sound can be a little safe a even generic but the consistency and quality control is fatanstic.

I'm right there with you. I will say however that some artists fall into the line of "all this sh*t sounds the same" but ECM is a great label that can produce some absolutely outstanding pieces of music from some of the greatest artists in Jazz. It's just that sometimes they don't too.

Frownland 01-15-2020 11:48 AM
Looking at you, Bill Frisell.

Exo 01-15-2020 12:04 PM
Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, and Gary Burton can get pretty boring too.

Music IS
Album by Bill Frisell

Frisell’s 2016 release When You Wish Upon a Star was so ****ing bad I didn’t want to forgive him. I don’t remember listening to his 2017 release, Small Town but Music IS is a decent recovery. It’s not free or avant garde though. In fact, it’s William Ackerman-ish. Could go in the ambient thread as a new age outlier but here it is so here it is. Recommended

Chula - I doubt you read this thread but I figure you’d like this one...
ftr WYWOAS is not on ECM

In fact if you look at his discography there’s not much ECM at all

Frownland 01-15-2020 01:13 PM
They were a big part in his rise in the jazz world and his ECM records aren't free from his typical pitfalls either.

He ain't entirely bad when he's not in charge of the direction, see: Masada Guitars and Naked City. Idk, any I'm missing out on? I gave up exploring his discography after being burned too many times.

Exo 01-15-2020 01:16 PM
You didn't like Before You Were Born? That was on Elektra.

Frownland 01-15-2020 01:50 PM
Just listened to the opener. Joe Satriani goes to art school, and I mean that in the most insulting way possible.

I've listened to a lot but here are some standouts for me...

Jarrett - Belonging, Tabula Rasa, Koln Concert, Changeless, Eyes of the Heart, Nude Ants

Garbarek - Esoteric Circle, Afric Pepperbird, Witchi-Tai-To

Burton - Duster, Who is Gary Burton

Jack Costanzo - Mr. Bongo (2015)

Quote:
The phrase 'living legend' is undoubtedly overused but there can be few people more deserving of such an accolade than Jack Costanzo. Born on the 24th September 1919, Costanzo is arguably the most significant percussionist of the modern era. Playing with many key orchestras, leading his own band, appearing in numerous TV shows and films and tutoring bongo playing to the stars, more than any other figure Jack Costanzo brought percussion, specifically Latin percussion and his trademark bongos, to widespread attention. But he wasn't merely a popularist, he was in turn revered by his peers and critics alike for his natural ability, invention, and perhaps most importantly his sheer versatility. He became known as 'Mr. Bongo' (first coined by jazz critic Leonard Feather), and the tag could hardly be more appropriate.

^ Yes, I took an interest then lost it with Frisell too. This album, for instance, has some nice, subdued tracks, but only one in which he briefly breaks a sweat:-

^ Yep the opener didn't do much for me either, despite youtubers commenting, "..utterly brilliant....a genius at work..."
