Playlist, Week of 2021-08-15

This turned out to be Ascension week... of course I love the original two versions in all their glory, but I also really love what Rova has done with it in their electric versions, especially with the addition of Nels Cline on the Rova Channeling Coltrane version on Rogue Art... powerful interpretations of an already powerful piece... In the meanwhile, having a hard time staying away from Duke Ellington and Anthony Braxton... I'll get to Mingus in more depth at some point soon...
