Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

J-IV

What's your thoughts on that Coleman record @GraemeE ?

GraemeE

@J-IV the sqwawk level is about what you'd expect but I can appreciate it even more now after finishing the last of 3 shades of blue where they briefly dive into the "free" era

GraemeE

Also the influence of that style can definately be felt all over this tune 40 years later

Ornette Coleman is on the approachable side of free jazz, same with most Coltrane. Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor are where it starts to get challenging!

@NickD said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Cecil Taylor

I seem to remember Branford Marsalis describing his stuff as "self indulgent crap" on the ken burns jazz doc

acquired a grail this past weekend. Anyone here up on Mach-Hommy’s music?

J-IV

@NickD @GraemeE Albert Ayler is when it gets a little "out there" for me. Free jazz / Avant-garde really takes off once it hits Europe or Japan. Folks like Peter Brotzmann or Kaoru Abe push the envelope of the boundaries of jazz

Los Paul - a bit of NDW with Dada and a pinch of punk

Girlfriend in a Coma @GraemeE :
“There were times when I could have muuuurdered heeeer.”
Loved the phrasing when the song came out and can laugh about this sentence nowadays ;-).

Lard - The Last Temptation Of Reid

Owned this only on CD.
But thanks to @endo, a vinyl version lingered into my life.

A new shop opened in my town, specialized to jazz.
Mentioned my desire for some old time punk and gates opened slowly. Looks like he is holding back a beautiful collection he bought years ago and is hesitant to pull upfront.
This is record one of three I could could squeeze out so far.
