The new Rob Mazurek Exploding Star Orchestra "Galactic Parables" is excellent!

While looking/listening to the Mostly Other People Do the Killing at YT, I ran across Mulatu Astatke vid. Sort of ethno, jazzy, funky, some Herbie Hancock? But I like it.

A few free jazz recs from YT's vinyl community:

^^^^ I don't know the Dollar Brand, and the Hemphill and Shepp LPs aren't my faves by them, but otherwise good stuff.

[hippypants]

Which Hemphill & Shepp do you like? I'm only beginning to scratch the surface with this free jazz stuff.

[Poisoned Youth]

Which Hemphill & Shepp do you like? I'm only beginning to scratch the surface with this free jazz stuff.

I know you didn't ask me directly, but for Hemphill, Dogon A.D. is well regarded.




With Shepp, perhaps Fire Music or The Way Ahead.

[Zeuhlmate]

Oriental Wind/Okay Temiz - Bazaar - 1981 - Vinyl-Rip



Janne Schaffer on guitar
I have had this LP since it was released, haven't seen it on the tube before

Here's some hip Hemphill.



And some early Shepp.

[hippypants]

Cozy--I know you didn't ask me directly,

I was asking anyone really, the more the merrier.

That's a lot of listen too. I'll give them a listen and see what I think. I did listen to that Jimmy Giuffre, Free Fall! last night and enjoyed it.

Thanks for the recs.

Something from a prior release by this trio.Available on ECM,Jimmy Giuffre 3-1961.

Shepp's The Way Ahead

Live In San Francisco is great as well.

And his reworkings of the Coltrane tunes are really inventive. It's no wonder Bob Thiele was on the the phone to Coltrane during that session.

[mogrooves]

Which Hemphill & Shepp do you like?

Shepp - Fire Music; Attica Blues; Mama Too Tight; The Magic of Juju; The Cry of My People

Hemphill - Coon Bidness; Dogon AD; Raw Materials & Residuals; Big Band

[hippypants]

I'll check some of these out as time allows, thanks for the recs.

[Trane]

Art Ensemble of Chicago - Urban Bushmen first and foremost. Full Force is also very good as was the much later Tribute to Lester.

I think I'll follow your advice, because I tried four early albums (apparently their Paris era) like Go Home, Chi-Congo, Jackson In Your House, Message to Our Folks .... And none resonated with me

Check out "People In Sorrow". IMO, the groups magnum opus.

ECM fans, the web site is back at full strength and fully revised: https://www.ecmrecords.com/home

Thanks Dave for the H.U.

That'll be my next one, with Cozy's two suggestions.

If you don't particularly dig the ones you listed, "PIS" might be a heavy lift; go with Bap-tizm (admittedly a personal fave, as I attended the performance).

[Reid]

Anybody into Ran Blake? I've never listened to his stuff, but I just ordered the Black Saint/Soul Note box. I bought it after listening to a couple tunes from Short Life Of Barbara Monk.
