Playlist, Week of 2018-10-14

Continuing with my journey through the discography of Craig Taborn... which is leading to lots of interesting detours... especially Dave Douglas' Freak In, a 1970s-Miles-drenched album I'd missed... excellent Taborn Fender Rhodes solo on "Traveler There Is No Road"... Also enjoying digging deeper into AMM, especially after the magnificent new release An Unintended Legacy... The Anthony Braxton New Braxton House Bandcamp site continues to crank out amazing releases... Another new gem is the Oakland Elementary School Arkestra CD The Saga of Padani... elementary school kids playing improvisations and Sun Ra tunes... I have always loved Randy Porter's contribution to the Sun Ra tribute CD Wavelength Infinity ("Planet Earth") but never managed to track down Big Music, Little Musicians, the first album he put out featuring these amazing children... this new release features the best of that and a subsequent cassette-only release, and is well worth checking out... a few tunes feature Marshall Allen sitting in with them... much more honest and enthralling than anything you'll hear on the airwaves...
