The Keith Tippett Group
Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening

Fantastically entertaining fusion/free/avant-garde jazz rock record.

^ "Fantastically entertaining" - right you are! I love this record and Keith Tippett's work in general. Title is a nod to Soft Machine's "Dedicated To You..." (which was a nod to Coltrane's "Dedicated To You"). The legendary Robert Wyatt on drums here, along with Brian Springs and Phil Howard (who later replaced Wyatt in Soft Machine).

Yeah I forgot to mention the three drummers and two bassists on the record. Wyatt whack good.

Amalgam
Prayer for Peace

European free jazz with Trevor Watts leading the pack on alto sax and the dude just WAILS. Great sh*t.

Abdul Wadud
By Myself: Solo Cello

This is a f*cking masterpiece. The track "In a Breeze" is one of the more melodic and beautiful solo cello pieces I've ever heard. It's a perfect display of what a cello can do. Excellent record and one day it will be a very expensive addition to my collection.

Dude I don’t think you’re gonna die but you’re listening to music like it’s a possibility

I mean goddamn you’re digging deep son

Putting your quarantine to good use

I mean, not much else to do. I have a small apartment. I read at night. I've been digging into a playlist on Youtube called "Albums I can't find on Spotify". Most are jazz and heavily leaned to the obscure out there titles than fringe on free or are close enough to the avant garde, usually evading the grasp of Spotify.

Phenomenal record. He was part of the Black Unity Trio and the album Al-Fatihah, which was a bit more.. "free".

Hey Ninetales!!

Scorpio

I've been hitting fire off my Youtube playlist as of late. This is dynamite. BYG is such an underrated record label it isn't even funny.

Afro-Jaws by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis

Couldn’t find this on Spotify either. Percussion rich bop. I could see this appealing to fans of Art Blakey.

Tomasz Stanko Quintet
Purple Sun

What an absolute BEHEMOTH. OH, if you haven't heard this, do it now. It's unassailable. It's an avant-garde fusion juggernaut. Beautiful rhythms and the perfect moments of unleashed out there chaos. One of the tightest quintets I've ever heard. Oh, man. Wow.

Janusz Stefański is a f*cking octopus.
