Bracing new music from Tomeka, who is one of our favorites around here. Combo of 3 strings, incl Mary Halvorson guitar, is original and sounds great. It's on Spotify
Well, that's interesting. Todd has gone electronic. Or more electronic. Or electronic in a different way. I'm curious if these Norwegian collaborators are familiar to you electronic music listeners
The music of Nat Birchall joins with a long-flowing conversation in jazz. His chosen tongue is that of the spiritualised musical discourse whose vital source can be found in the sacred testaments of John Coltrane, and which was channelled most directly by his fellow travellers Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, and his wife Alice. Many others followed where Coltrane led, giving voice in music to the esoteric renewal of the soul and mind that lent spiritual strength to the black counterculture, and complemented the political radicalism of the late 1960s and 1970s. This rich vein of spirit music has rarely been tapped by British jazz musicians, and Birchall is one of the few to have been drawn to it with the conviction of heart that it demands. For these are the sonic and spiritual spaces where the colossi of an earlier age declaimed and confessed with sacrificial passion, from within the flames of revolution.
- "Luxul is the artistic expression of mystical experiences attained through esoteric practice. Thus by removing the self, the audience is invited to connect with immortal themes that are contained within the consciousness. This is Luxul."
I finally figured out that the Den Sorte Skole site does not like my gmail address for some reason, but it is downloading now with my other address, so that will be queued up soon!
