Playlist, Week of 2022-03-27

 

Space Aura is space gold from Sun Ra... Amazing that they dug up these 1966 recordings from the same tour as Nothing Is... John Gilmore is on FIRE (sorry for the caps, but hell, he really is... on FIRE!)... Speaking of fire, and fiery solos, you can't do worse than Anthony Braxton and Alexander Hawkins on the Standards 2020 set... And since it's so hot in here, I may as well mention, well, just about everything I listened to this week... but especially the AMM set and one of Duke Ellington's greatest albums, The Far East Suite... any of these recordings could last a lifetime on a desert island... I just got back from the Big Ears Festival, and I'll have a brief report soon... spoiler alert: it was awesome...
