If I may, I would like to challenge you once more with a track from the Peel Session EP: Drane - This is an excellent example of how they are mastering the clarity in the chaos or the simplicity in the complexity, if you like, to perfection. - Breathtaking stuff !
Cuneiform / Bandcamp: released 29 January 2013 - "A major force on Chicagos singularly inventive music scene for two decades, cornetist Rob Mazurek has recorded with high profile artists such as Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, Stereolab, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and is an intrepid sound explorer.
Skull Sessions combines two of Rob's groups: Sao Paulo Underground and Starlicker with additional personnel. The band is an international cast of masters, including drummer John Herndon (of Tortoise), vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz and flutist Nicole Mitchell, (both DownBeat poll winners on their respective instruments), Guilherme Granado on keyboards and electronics, Carlos Issa on guitar and electronics, Mauricio Takara on percussion and cavaquinho (Brazilian ukulele), and Thomas Rohrer on C melody saxophone and rabeca (a rustic Brazilian viola associated with the northeast). The fusion of these musicians ignites a beautiful cosmic burst!
The big bang that led to Skull Sessions detonated when the We Want Miles exhibition at SESC Sao Paulo requested that Mazurek devise a presentation related to his deep affinity for the music of Miles Davis. In characteristic fashion, he decided against recreating any of Daviss music, instead composing new pieces and rearranging earlier works for the Octets particular personalities and unusual timbres. The resulting album is a exploratory album that puts great musicians and compositions together and trusts in them enough to simply let them go!"
Just when you thought you were experiencing a genuine value moment. Just when when you thought you were truly enjoying the silence.....
Do you hear that..........SOUND???!!! Will the day come when that's ALL you will hear.....Turn on, tune in.....
Been listening to John Abercrombie all day without repeats. Including Cat 'N' Mouse, Tactics, Night, Class Trip, Current Events...maybe others. Either I'm on a roll today or this is great music for writing to.
Brand new from The Silverman aka. Philip Knight, core member for 30+ years of The Legendary Pink Dots: "Despite the ominous warnings on the radio, a lonely boat sails away from a lonelier island with the good captain Silverman at the helm. Aliens here to study mankind had taken control of the airwaves; spread confusion with fake weather reports; induced brainwashing with warped forms of Celtic music; inserted subliminal mantras like "Better Warped Than Corrupted" into all political and financial broadcasting; as well as openly plotting revolution - or was that resolution? or evolution? or perhaps pollution? But this was of no concern for Silverman as he changed course by the north star,heading out towards
Andromeda. . . ."
