Playlist, Week of 2018-08-12

Really enjoying my third time through the 1972 Dark Star extravaganza... it's fun to dip into these extended improvisations totally out of context... of course, it's also great to listen to them totally in context, which I'll return to at some point in the future.... I came across a reference to Catatumbo on Ingrid Laubrock's website, hadn't heard it yet...a nice free improv trio, with her sax playing being typically inspiring... Always nice to return to Sun Ra's masterpiece When Angels Speak of Love... besides Gilmore (of course), the standout player for me on this is the under-recorded Walter Miller on trumpet...
