Matana Roberts' remarkable Coin Coin project continues with another strong chapter... this is devastating stuff thematically, with some wonderful sax passages... I am digging the recent attention Mary Lou Williams' Zodiac Suite is getting, with interesting new versions from Aaron Diehl and the Umlaut Chamber Orchestra... her own piano versions remain my favorite, though... Every once in a while I like to warp my understanding of jazz standards with Art Tatum's amazing convolutions... Yes, it is mostly jazz in all its wonderful permutations that's floating my boat these days... Over the next few weeks, I am going to embark on a roughly chronological outing through my Muhal Richard Abrams collection (as a leader and as a sideman)... I am always listening to AACM folks these days so I think it's time to go back to the source...
