Playlist, Week of 2018-04-22

So, inspired by the music of Matt Mitchell and Kate Gentile, I've been going back to the Tim Berne's Snakeoil albums... these are really excellent, and are easily my favorite Berne recordings... and in a nice stroke of serendipity, I just stumbled on this, even though it came out last month: the always insightful Hank Shteamer wrote this blog post about Snakeoil which is definitely worth checking out... Always a pleasure to go back to the old original Art Ensemble sessions... And how wonderful it was that Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton played together, back in 2007... already over ten years ago, holy crap... too bad they didn't make it to the studio, but the live performances are choice...
