Max Roach & Cecil Taylor - Historic Concerts

These performances are true works of art by these masters. First time playing together, and no rehearsal.

Nice, and interesting: I haven't heard Cecil Taylor this conventional before. It's mostly because of the percussion I think. In any case hearing him do a Monk cover puts things into perspective
Cecil Taylor - Jazz Advance

Fantastic spiritual jazz with one mean ass trumpet solo from Hanibal Marvin Peterson.

^this is incredibly beautiful, thanks!

Welcome! I love that you listen to most of my jazz recs. That's super cool. Your jazz ear is growing!

Your recs (and the posts in this thread in general) are a great course in jazz appreciation

Sun Ra & His Arkestra - Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Beyond Saturn Edition) (2021)

Quote:

This expanded Beyond Saturn edition includes two bonus tracks sourced from a stray tape from the original live 1977 dates. These tracks are not previously unreleased—they were previously and deliberately "misfiled" by the artist. That is, they were included on the A-side of a 1985 Saturn LP whose other content was unrelated.

The original 1977 release alternates four Sun Ra originals with three Tin Pan Alley favorites. It was during the 1970s that Ra began peppering his sets with Big Band-era standards, especially titles originally recorded by his heroes Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington. However, "Gone With the Wind," "Over the Rainbow," and "Take the 'A' Train" recur frequently in the career-spanning Ra discography.

Also of interest in this set is "I'll Wait for You," whose throbbing disco pulse prefigures the dance floor stylings pursued by Ra on his later albums Lanquidity, On Jupiter, and Sleeping Beauty.

The two bonus tracks, "Outer Reach Intensity-Energy" and "Cosmos Rendezvous," were first issued by Sun Ra on the 1985 LP known as Stars That Shine Darkly Vol. 2, and alternately called Outer Reach Intensity-Energy. There was no identifying information included with the release—typical of Ra during the 1980s, it was issued in a generic sleeve which may or may not have been adorned with hand-art and no info except track titles on the label.

this is a weird ass record. I'm loving the third track
Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle

50 minutes of solo saxophone music
Steve Lacy - The Kiss

Toshiyuki Miyama & His New Herd – 土の音～日本伝説の中の詩情

little bitches brew to bring out the more angular side of my psyche

I love this. The piano felt almost classical to me at first, idk why

Archie Shepp somehow makes free jazz that I feel like I can dance to
Archie Shepp - A Sea Of Faces

You have been posting such great sh*t lately, Marie.

Thanks man, it's because of the corona situation that I've been much more adventurous in my listening. The music you post played a part in that of course :)

Well, you're returning the favor.

Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, Lars Møller ‎– ReWrite Of Spring

Concert by the Sea by: Erroll Garner

I don't actually listen to jazz that often, let alone jazz albums, but I'm really enjoying it so far (:

sadly I can't find the whole album on YouTube

Kirk's 5000lb Man is a work of pure genius

My favourites from the album are "Theme for the Eulipions", "Loving You" and the attached beauty in the form of a cover of Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat"

Dude is becoming one of my favorite players. This is just so good.

Fantastic third stream stuff from 1980's jazz which is hard to come by sometimes.
