Many thanks Doofy. Amazing to think that this was recorded less than 48 hours ago! I can hear it on my computer in the UK, played in the Sahel, via Seattle, and goodness knows where the Bandcamp server is. This would have been unthinkable twenty years ago.
The first ever release on the ECM subsiduary JAPO - Mal Waldron's The Call very 1971. Mal Waldron - electric piano Jimmy Jackson - organ Eberhard Weber - electric bass Fred Bracful - drums
Some wonderful work by Weber and Waldron is a million miles away from his Billie Holiday association.
‘Dreamer’ is instantly familiar and yet full of surprises and like
all of Yokota’s best music it leaves the listener in a state of wonder.
Eastern
flavours permeate many of the tracks, often mixed with free electronic
noise to create what John Hassell called ‘fourth world music’, capable
of transporting the listener to a brand new world. Sounds that in other
hands could have a disturbing effect are transformed into tools for
opening the mind.
Yokota’s music never sounds forced, fake or
phoney, never trite, tired or tentative, always fully formed and
wholesome. So it comes as no surprise that his fans include Thom Yorke,
Brian Eno and Philip Glass and that ‘Dreamer’ is another superb addition
to the Yokota catalogue.
On a long car trip (including half an hour trying to get through malfunctioning Chicago tollbooths). Tykwer/Klimek/Heil – Lola Rennt Pleq - Recomposition Yes - Fly from Here - Return Trip; Steven WIlson - To the Bone Galligoni/Vivaldi - Cello Concertos Thoms Dolby - A Map of the Floating City
2009 Bandcamp Free 2011 The sound is amazingly good and the Woody Guthrie track just made my night! Grow, Grow, Grow It's been like spending an evening with the vinyl, so far.

Wild ride. Peter Margasak had a long write-up on Dave Rempis this month
Eta, plenty more wildness on that Astral Spirits Bandcamp page

Not a half bad line-up considering they're all the drummer's mates ;-)
Working my way through this massive collection...
Happy Piano Day!

And on another tip entirely
I'm not sure why the loveable mop tops are asking for help; are they stuck on that Farfisa organ?
