I bought this on #BandcampFriday. Prerelease so only two tracks to listen to. It feels largely improvised. And I always wonder what parameters are set in advance. #jazz @jazz@fedigroups.social KATARAHI from MYRA MELFORD - SATOKO FUJII https://rogueart1.bandcamp.com/album/katarahi

The Buxton Festival looks amazing. The man behind the Newcastle improvised music scene has pulled together the #jazz line up and it's excellent. I really want to see Josephine Davies.

I think #CheltJazzFest is back Back BACK after a weak 2025 programme. I'd go again today if it were nearer. Three gigs yesterday. Joshua Redman: proper jazz. Great band and energy at 2pm. The Power of Four: WTAF!; glorious. And finally Theon Cross: commitment and tuba tunes. #jazz @jazz@fedigroups.social #Cheltenham

I have found a video of Elaine Mitchener performing which may is just as wild than yesterday. Pat Thomas was joined by Neil Charles (bass) and Mark Sanders (drums) for our gig. But Café Oto had jazz Bez instead (music starts at 1.20) @jazz@fedigroups.social #jazz #CheltJazzFest https://youtu.be/Tq3qLCxIUL4

Kenny Dorham - The Complete 'Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia Recent Tone Poet release of this classic 1956 set, expanded with the tracks added in the 1984 Japan release, plus more. Dorham and the band (J. R. Monterose (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones (bass), andArthur Edghill (drums)) are locked in and playing great. Beautiful mono recording, mastering, pressing. Highly recommended. #nowplaying #vinyl #KennyDorham #TonePoet #jazz

To be clear. The thing that pissed off my wife was the difficult and uncompromising nature of the music. But we have been for a clear the air curry. And after a ginger martini and beer (me) and tap water (her) harmony has been restored. Now for some restorative tuba courtesy of Theon Cross. #jazz @jazz@fedigroups.social #CheltJazzFest

The problem of sitting in the first row is that the improvising vocalist Elaine Mitchener looked me in the eye and sang the phrase "you look well today" three times at me. #jazz @jazz@fedigroups.social #CheltJazzFest

The thing about liking unpopular music is that it is easy to get front row tickets. Which means you get to sit this close to the genius that is Pat Thomas. #jazz @jazz@fedigroups.social #CheltJazzFest

Mosaic Select 17 by Johnny Richards, released on Mosaic in 2005 but recorded between 1955 and 1966. Review by Scott Yanow Johnny Richards, who is most famous for his association with Stan Kenton, was an inventive writer who starting in 1957 and had a band of his own. The music on this three-fer includes the adventurous three-part third stream piece "Annotations of the Muses," a set of Richards' adaptations of themes from My Fair Lady, a few Afro-Cuban projects, some relatively straight-ahead but complex jazz, and Richards' hit "Young at Heart." There are many short solos from the top-notch sidemen, but it's Johnny Richards' writing that makes this set quite definitive and memorable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ9iZ3MKWII&list=RDwQ9iZ3MKWII&start_radio=1 #JohnnyRichards #StanKenton #Jazz #BigBand #AfroCubanJazz #Music #MosiacSelect #ThirdStream

Azus Jukebox #16

Flore Benguigui & The Sensible Notes - i-330

Every now and then an Album comes out that shapes what i listen to for months on end. And this is one of those.

When i first spotted it I though “oh this looks fun” only after reading a bit into it I realized, who Flore Benguigui was I read up on her story and am so happy that she put out an Album like this now!

Okay, But what makes this so special you ask? It’s just a few more or less known Jazz Standards? - Well yes, but the way they are interpreted and played feels so accessible, so fun and inviting.

When I say it changed how I listen to music I mean that my focus shifted a bit, it kinda inspired me to, firstly pick up my guitar and noodle along for hours, but also to listen to more Jazz again and I really appreciate that.

Faves:

  • Everything happens to me

Equinox is the second album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in April 1967, with vocalists Lani Hall and Janis Hansen. Review by Richard S. Ginell Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable (although it didn't yield any substantial hits), and the treatments are smooth, swinging, and very much to the point... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IRVI7N710k&list=OLAK5uy_l1_NeDsAESWrGYCEBxarVVCpsam6DZeIU #SergioMendes #MPB #BossaNova #Jazz #SpaceAgePop #60sPop #Music

Captain Tarthopom by Jean Cohen-Solal, released on Connection in 1973. Phillipe wrote on Prog Archives: First formed in electro acoustic researches and in contemporary improvised music, Jean Cohen Solal delivered two intriguing, very personal albums during the 70's. Today, Flute libres and Captain Tarthopom can be considered as ultimate masterpieces without reaching a specific musical label. These albums are a perfect mix between buzzing sitar-like mantra, weird electronic dream-like psychedelica and jazzy acid rock. Captain Tarthopom starts the cosmic, magical dance with two haunting folkish-epic compositions that include a certain sense of humour and derision (self title)... https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=18134 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bezftt6Am4Q #JeanCohenSolal #Flute #Prog #CosmicMusic #Jazz #FrenchMusic #Music
