Old & New Dreams - S/T

Old & New Dreams - S/T In the never ending battle between time and money, I will take time every time. I will also take content over technology. Even though I lost my job a few months ago and money is tight, having extra time to get re-acquainted with old gems on my LP shelves has been very rewarding. The self titled 1979 album from a band of Ornette Coleman alumni called Old And New Dreams has always been a favorite of mine but it was unplayed for many years. Now with the luxury of time on my hands it's back spinning [...]

The Dozens

C.O.D. BELLS AND CHIMES Ornette Coleman Ornette at 12 Impulse : 1968 OC, alto, violin; Dewey Redman, tenor; Charlie Haden, bass; Denardo Coleman (credited as "Ornette Denardo"), drums. You're going to like this or you're not. But try not to be put off by the Curious Case of the Twelve-Year-Old Drummer; there's more here than that red herring. Some great soloing by Dewey Redman, for one thing. [...]

Ornette Coleman: Something Else

ornette coleman 4 tet 1987
The very first album by a revolutionary jazz saxophonist: an insurrection simmering below the surface. It is a truism that change is hard for most folks. The first time you taste asparagus: blech. Down the line, it's as delicious as caramel. And in music it's true, too. Stravinsky was unlistenable in 1913, but by the 1950s, he was a concert staple. Elvis was sexual dynamite in 1955 and unhip pap by the early '70s. Perceptions change, but so do artists. Something Else is the remarkable 1958 debut recording by the...

Dave Liebman: Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman

Dave Liebman Quartet - Nar Dreams - Chivas Jazz Festival - SP - 2002
A saxophonist known for his immersion in Coltrane tackles the melodic approach from the other side of "free jazz". When I first heard Ornette Coleman, I thought, "That is some seriously weird stuff." All I could hear was what was missing -- such as the supporting harmonies that tended to make jazz sound logical or pretty even amidst fairly crazy improvising. Also absent was a perfectly steady sense of swing, even though I could tell that the bass player was cooking. But if that music was a map, then all the boundaries seemed to...

FMP #9: Lonely Brötzmann

FMP #9: Lonely Brötzmann To continue the Ornette vibe of this week, we are proud and delighted to bring you a phenomenal 1984 solo outing from Peter Brötzmann, one that kicks off with a loose, baritone rendition of "Lonely Woman." What follows are 23 etudes of varying length, from mere seconds to a max of six minutes, wherein Brötzmann experiments with tone and texture on a wide range of horns. Far from an ascetic experience, the disc provides moments of sheer beauty and almost mainstream melodic forays. While not quite "Brötzmann for Lovers," it nonetheless has us swooning. Hope you enjoy.

#332 Colin Stetson – The Stars in His Head

#332 Colin Stetson – The Stars in His Head Colin Stetson plays a variety of woodwinds. On his recently released New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges , he plays a solo saxophone, recording his tracks live in a single (and usually, first) take, accompanied sometimes by the guest appearances of Laurie Anderson and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden. The latter delivers a vocal performance of a lifetime in her cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes", dripping with soul and affection, enveloped by Stetson's signature unceasing mourn. But the focal point of Judges has to be Stetson's [...]

North Sea Jazz Festival 2010, Ahoy Rotterdam (Part 2)

After yesterday's post, covering some of the more boundary-pushing electronic music to feature at the North Sea Jazz Festival, you could be forgiven for wondering if there was any jazz worth seeing at all. And while it wasn't all tame vocal jazz and funk-lite, you still had to navigate the programme carefully to avoid making [...]
