Some fine piano playing from Craig Taborn on Unknown Skies ....several fiery passages reminiscent of Cecil Taylor... nice to hear him in this vein... Been a while since I pulled out The Olatunji Concert... damn, it's fierce... good for the soul... Alice Coltrane was the perfect pianist for this music... Thurston Moore's By the Fire is a worthy successor to Sonic Youth... Nice to revisit the VCU Jazz Orchestra's version of The Tattooed Bride, now that I'm more familiar with the Ellington original (from Masterpieces) than I was back in the '80s when it first came out... it's got old bandmate Jon Mela on it... good arranging work by Doug Richards... well done!
