Back to my "comfort listening"... lots of Grateful Dead, especially "Dark Star" and "The Other One," some Cecil Taylor, some Sun Ra... Art Ensemble of Chicago, Roscoe Mitchell, Matana Roberts... next week, some Anthony Braxton... Also trying to absorb new sounds, like Kate Gentile's amazingly challenging new album Find Letter X... the work of her as a solo artist and with Matt Mitchell (especially on Snark Horse) is consistently invigorating and different... angular, knotty composed melodic lines underpinned by an ever-shifting rhythmic pulse with irregular patterns and angular, knotty drum sentences... her drumming encompasses and synthesizes free jazz, Chris Cutler-style rock, and dynamic metal... Matt Mitchell is a brilliant piano player, and I'm looking forward to seeing him at Big Ears this year... too bad Gentile isn't in the lineup as well!
