Essential. Been getting into his albums as a bandleader lately. Some of it is as good as Coltrane's best albums. Sorry for the blasphemy. |
Quote:
Tyner creates beautiful oceans of sound in those records. When he played with Coltrane he was the greatest pianist ever and he took shape as the most beautiful body of water ever known: the river. Then he was the greatest pianist ever taking place in the most beautiful body of water ever know: the ocean. I love the way his playing opens up. He opened it up when he was supposed to and he focused it when he was supposed to. Anyway, what you’re saying is not blasphemy because Tyner’s genius can’t be overstated. |
Good.

Listened to Odyssey, a 1975 double album by a Norwegian guitarist called Terje Rypdal a few days ago. Good album.

Rabih Abou-Khalil - Bukra (1989) The king of the oud. Criminally underrated artist & album. https://img1.daumcdn.net/thumb/R800x...27334DEE72470C Dimension - Fifth Dimension (1995) Probably the most vigorous of the classic 80's/90's Japanese fusion bands, Dimension have over 30+ albums and their sound hasn't changed all that much since their start in '92, but 5th Dimension is an extremely strong release that stands out. Reminds me of all those great racing games I played in the Sega Genesis years but with a meatier sound palette. |

Going through my dads Jimmy Smith LPs.

Yes it is. That one and "Got My Mojo Workin' " are two of my earliest musical memories. My mom worked on Saturdays so my dad spent the day playing his blues, jazz and Beatles albums. I used my longest Lincoln Logs as drumsticks and would bang about the coffee table. |

The Pyramids Lalibela Wild spiritual and afro jazz. On the cusp of being free but in a more tribal way. Crazy rhythm section. |

I looked at the page. About 10 second in it blogs the view with a download instagram for more thing.
I’m not that into original pressings and all that. I’m just a listener not a collector. Finding stuff that hasn’t already been said about SunRa is a tall order. I mean, I haven’t actually read a biography on him but I think there would be a fine line of respecting his mythology and disrespecting it. It might sound like I’m being negative about your friend. I’m not. It’s tricky business to get right. Music writers often want to demystify or offer a tempered response to deification. I’m a fan. Not an artist. Not a critic. A fan. When I read about music I want the writer to worship the subject. Podcasts too. I don’t want tempered opinions. I want praise sprinkled with worship. |

I only told you about him because he's a great source of new stuff to listen to which is my main objective in life. Listen to as much as I can to broaden my ears. It's to the point where I'll actually listen to Frown's music. Give it all to me. Give me the weird. Give me the strange. Give me the noise. |

As for where it was recorded...I have it on good authority from a certain guru on this site that it was recorded in Czech but RYM says they formed in Lithuania and the LP was pressed in Czech. |
LEO Records is the definitive source.

Ganelin is Lithuanian, the other two Russian. BTW I'd really recommend checking out this one by Chekasin:

Gigi Masin - Calypso (2020)
At times gorgeously Balearic and other times menacing and unsettling. Gigi is one of the great sagemasters at blending jazz and ambient and this album is a top contender for me for AOTY. |

Glad you like it brother. It came up through a random Bandcamp recommendation and I was surprised at how great it was right out of the gate. Ben Vince on sax doesn't hurt either.

John Coltrane Om F*ck my ears with your sonic appendages you filthy f*cks. I love this album. Treat me like your play thing. |
The critics who trashed that album are fools.

You think the legend they were all on LSD is true? I mean, they were on drugs, but LSD? I believe it.
