Playlist, Week of 2023-06-18

Dave's Picks vol. 6 is a strong entry in this series, espeically the 1970 show... the Pigpen tracks are particualrly strong, with the versions of "Hard to Handle" and "Good Lovin'" ranking with their best... Getting psyched for seeing Sparks at the end of the month in DC... the new album is really strong... I have become quite enamored of Anthony Braxton's piano playing... on the surface, at first, he may sound a little ham-fisted, but damn if he isn't an imaginative and interesting pianist... his playing on Quintet (Tristano) 2014 is consistently inventive and inspiring... I need to go back and check out the standard sessions he plays piano on again... I didn't give them a fair shake when I first heard them...
