RIP Carla Bley

A recording of her "Ida Lupino" I hadn't heard before:

That video isn't available in USA, but it's hard to go wrong with an ensemble containing John Gilmore:

Off-topic, but this excellent column is the most recent substantial Carla Bley interview I've been able to find.

Perhaps a bit of a novelty.


Music by Ornette Coleman for wind quintet and trumpet interludes, Forms and Sounds, and for string quartet, Saints and Soldiers and Space Flight.

Mr Coleman was the trumpet, the Philadelphia Woodwind Quintet were the winds, the Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia Quartet were the strings.
About 45 minutes long.
The only non-classical music in this set


Can be heard on Youtube here

Just released. Fine album, it tells jazz not dead yet. But, is this an idiomatic jazz at all?

A Fickle Sonance - Jackie McLean.

A Fickle Sonance - Jackie McLean.

I listened to that last week.
Really enjoy the opening number Five will get you ten. Sometimes attributed to Monk, sometimes to Sonny Clark.

Art Blakey/Wayne Shorter.

A masterpiece. Must have played it before, but it counts as a first listen since I didn't remember anything.

Another remarkable album released by Portugal's Clean Feed Records, one of the most important jazz labels today.

Excellent. I live about 45 miles from Michael Bisio and have often attended his events, several times with Matthew Shipp in various configurations. He and Shipp are long-time associates and have a remarkable musical communication, rapport or whatever (not sure how to word it).

Just out, a new album by Peter Evans. Some very mysterious tracks. Digging Evans. This album is my first encounter with his music.
