Thanks, @Doofy, how could I resist an "increasingly ecstatic state of tantric epiphany"? Let alone "through-composed ecogothic geosonics".
- or: "Other influences for Hard Vibe
include Charlie Parker's concrete melodic vision within Salt Peanuts,
the NYC Avantgarde Minimalism of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, Tenor
Sax endurance soloists like Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler's funky New
Grass, and the epic organ brutality of Larry Young."
I haven't listened to this J in years Brushfire Fairytales Thicker Than Water - Music From A Film By Jack Johnson & The Malloys Soundtrack that includes Jack Johnson, Finley Quaye, G. Love, The Meters & Harpers Bizarre's version of Witchi Tai To.
It's funny as I have that album, which I discovered had Ry Cooder playing on it. who I first heard on and that's how it all starts.
This week my wife made a comment about the fact that my CD towers in the living room were not being used and that maybe its time to move them. It made me think it was time especially not using E Music at present to dig out some old stuff.
Found some great stuff this morning:
Dar Williams - Beauty of the Rain
followed by
Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart -Take me to God
Not 'right now' but last night. Really an exceptional album, even given the Blue Note talent of the era. It's Herbie's music of course, but it's Freddie's album. Interesting stuff from the liner notes by Duke Pearson, quoted on Wikipedia:
"This is a quartet album for trumpet and rhythm section. In this circumstance, a problem was created for the composer-arranger, in that the lack of another instrument supporting the lower, richer register, such as a tenor saxophone, might result in a shallow sound. With this problem in mind, Herbie Hancock, who composed and arranged all the tunes, wrote them to sound more like improvisations than ensemble melodies, so that the warmth and fullness of a supporting melody would not be missed. Free sketches were written in such a way that each instrument is allowed great flexibility of interpretation. In many cases, no melodic line was laid out over the chords nor atonal clusters written, so that the trumpeter could supply any melody he wished."

Funny combination that that I didn't think about til I typed it....
My Charlie Rouse playlist covers a pretty good swath of bop -> post-bop history
Sadly, the end of the Charlie Rouse list. But what a good one
Terrible band name, great album. At 99 cents, a steal.
