    Joe Chambers is primarily known as a jazz drummer,but also is a gifted composer and sometime pianist.Chambers recorded a session with organ player Larry Young in 1978 titled Double Exposure,which i've dug from the first time it was played for me.Joe Chambers plays piano(with a dash of electric piano and synth) and some percussion,Larry Young is on organ throughout.This track is my favorite,Mind Rain.Enjoy.

    Another gem from Czech jazz

It was like being hit with a brick in the face repeatedly. It was magic. Unfortunately, nothing since has quenched my thirst for such things quite like MG. Many things felt so...tame after listening to MG. Either lots of introspective/quiet breaks, or just not as enduringly intense as I hoped for. The closest thing I've found is some live video of Last Exit (which of course features the Brotzs). So, jazz loving populace of PE, I turn a hungry ear to you...what can you recommend for me of this ilk?

    (Note: I've heard the following: Coltrane's Ascension [and other wilder bits], Coleman's Free Jazz, Ayler's Spiritual Unity, Last Exit, various Weasel Walter projects (including The Flying Luttenbachers which do come close as well, even if not really jazz) & The Thing [including some other Mats G. stuff]. However, please feel free to recommend anything even if it seems obvious)

    Many thanks.
    It's not 100% jazz per se, but it sounds like you'd be into the early Naked City albums, especially the first one.

    Also, despite your preference against dynamic variety, I'd recommend the earlier Pharaoh Sanders albums on Impulse (Karma, Deaf Dumb Blind)

    There's a fairly recent album by Joe Morris called Wildlife (on which he plays bass, not his usual electric guitar) in a trio format (with a sax and drums) that should be right up your alley.

    It's not as visceral or intense as Brotzmann, but there are a few Steve Lacy albums that might interest you. "Two, Five, Six, Blinks" is a good place to start with him, for this kind of thing. I have to get a plug in for Lacy here, since I think he's one of the most underrated jazz figures.

    The ultimate energy blast. John Zorn and Tim Berne's "Spy vs. Spy." First time I saw this, David Sanborn was along for the ride.

    I agree about Lacy being an underrated jazz figure.I went from digging and buying every Lacy lp i could get my hands on,and seeing Lacy live in NYC(solo,duet,trio,quartet)to finding Lacy too dry and cold and stayed away from his recordings for many years,then upon Lacy's death i started to get into him again.

    The Lacy cds i reach for when the mood strikes me are his solo work from 1974,on Weal and Woe(Emanem) and the quintet session from 1972 ,The Gap(America).I have a couple of other Lacy cds that i'll play once in a blue moon.

    I always dug Steve Potts(alto/soprano sax), Lacy's sidekick in his group for many years.Too bad i never see any recordings from Steve Potts.Wonderful player.

    This is right out of Steve Coleman's playbook. I just recently got this as I didn't even know it was released, but it's risen to perhaps my favorite album of the year. Gilmore takes a surprisingly back seat role through much of this recording.

    Checking into some more clips from this...
    Wow! What a smoking group!

    I guess these have been out for a couple of years, but I just found out about it yesterday.
    Some great releases by Air, Walt Dickerson, Richard Abrams, etc. Amazon has samples for
    most of the albums.

    a big fan of that stuff and the David Gilmore Numerology ens.. One thing I love about the latter is the funky drums and pseudo-modal harmony mix up. I personally don't mind swing and hard bop grooves nor find them old-fashioned, but I especially like the bag of rhythmic tricks expanding to include all these styles. It is a very exciting time for jazz right now.

    some other guitarists I have been liking lately:

    The Mary Halvorson Trio.




    and her quintet from the engaging Saturn Sings album



    and someone I happen to find fascinating:



  16. #66
    I have been re-visiting Ornette's '60s stuff and really digging it





    and especially





    I can't remember who posted the Jimmy Guiffre trio stuff last thread (Walt?) but I have invested quite a few hours on that stuff lately.

    I know Ayler from Spiritual Unity (and I recently ordered At Slug's Saloon). Sharrock I know through Last Exit...I've heard his solo album Ask The Ages which was great, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Any specific SS albums to check out??

    And thanks for the SVS link. I'll listen to it when I can.

    I have Naked City's debut and it is excellent indeed. The grindcorey pieces in the middle do have that intense quality I like (though are damn short, even in total).

    I've heard Sander's Karma, and it is wonderful. TCHAMP is 30+ mins are enjoyment. A classic in the field for sure. I haven't really investigated him further, so thanks for the other rec. The other two are completely new names to me so the adventure continues there. Thanks for the reply!

    The samples I heard of Gayle all smell like winners. I will definitely be buying some albums.

    McPhee is a name I recognize from the album Guts with Brotzmann. F Wright also sounds familiar but I can't place it. Either way...all will be added to my list. Many thanks.
