Playlist, Week of 2022-02-20

Totally great improvisations from Anthony Braxton and Joe Morris... Braxton's all over the place in terms of instrumentation while Morris soldiers on on guitar alone... the contrasts are compelling and exciting... definitely one of Braxton's strongest solely-improv outings... Still got my Blue Note thing going, and also delving some into Prince (again)... there are nuggets of gold in his 21st-century work... The Supremes in mono: sheer girl-group Motown bliss... I will never cease to be blown away and transported to other worlds of ecstasy by the work of Cecil Taylor....
