Playlist, Week of 2019-11-17

Been on a bit of a Lewis Taylor kick lately... I am particularly quite taken with The Lost Album, with its Todd Rundgren/Beach Boys grandeur and its combination of neo-soul, '70s rock, and sweeping prog guitar... Digging through a lot of recent New Ting improvisations for a possible cassette release... Beautiful, relatively quiet (for him) playing by Mats Gusatsson on A Quietness of Water... Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey always sound great in a quartet setting... There's not much that's cooler than the Duke Ellington version of "All My Loving"... Entire sound universes are contained within the 9-CD Iridium Anthony Braxton box set... as much as I've listened to it over the last 12 years, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface... infinitely rewarding, continually self-renewing, always inspiring...
