Playlist, Week of 2018-02-04

Props to a special "songbird," Nora Byrd... check out the wonderful set of mostly traditional Irish songs she recently did for the Chicago radio show The Craic... The Henry Threadgill listening thread continues, if a bit slowly... around this time period (2010) is when the live Zooid stuff starts to run together a bit for me... I find the released albums much more compelling... A snippet of the Miles Davis Fillmore East 1970 gigs came up on the Magic Jukebox, and it sounded awesome, so I dug out the box... it still amazes me just how much free/out stuff the band got into when Miles wasn't soloing... I'm also having a mini-Sonic Youth festival for myself, going through an album a week or so... amazingly strong body of work!... Tito Puente, on the other hand, makes for great cocktail music...
