I've been on a Tomasz Stanko trip for the past few days and can't get this tune out of my head (couldn't find it from youtube):



The whole album is awesome:

I have been replaying ESP by Miles Davis a lot recently, I could live for weeks inside this track in particular:



What can you really say about something like that? I have no idea.

I am also enjoying London-based improv band Ill Considered:

Really great stuff.

This Leon Phal album is really giving me the business.

Just found this in my 2022 "to listen to" folder. Not further info except its Revelators Sound System with their album Revelators and I like it.

Here's opening track Grieving.


Oh. Turns out this is the bloke from Hiss Golden Messenger. Well there you go.

It's thundering outside and I'm playing this classic I picked up from Rough Trade in NYC

Image

Because of a mix of work and social commitments I've gone 7 straight weeks without a single day to just relax at home. I went to a music festival last night and by the end of the long trudge home I finally broke down, exhaustion catching up to me in a big bad way. I slept for 12 straight hours. Today I woke up at nearly 3 PM, canceled my plans for the day, and now I'm slinking placidly into this album's mellow vibes.

Apparently the quartet had never played these songs together before and most of them were recorded in a single take

yep...great album..from the notes:


It was one of the most curious record dates I have ever attended. Excepting It's Easy to Remember, the quartet had never played any of the tunes before. They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs. Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they would use, semi rehearse for a half hour, and then do it. Usually the tune was done in one take.

Thanks Jorge. That has been my most lovely soundtrack to this rather rough Monday morning at the office.

Oded Tzur, who I discovered thanks to this thread (specifically Kevin Davis), put out a really lovely 5-track album earlier this year called Isabela. Same quartet as Here Be Dragons. On my second listen now, I really love it
