Playlist, Week of 2024-09-24

Running a bit behind here... getting caught up... most of the John Zorn Simulacrum-related albums have relatively short tracks, but Baphomet is one long 40-minute-plus piece that goes all over the place... well, it cooks... Can Cladders is balm for the soul...

Found a nice used copy of Pete La Roca Sims' LP Turkish Women at the Bath (in the version released under Chick Corea's name, Bliss!), featuring some choice John Gilmore... always interesting to hear Gilmore in a non-Sun Ra context, although I still maintain that he did his best work with Ra... Someday I'll compile a list of favorite non-Ra Gilmore solos to go along with my other Gilmore list...
