Seems like the perfect time of year for this. I had been away from one of my favorite records in the world, Everybody Digs Bill Evans, for long enough that for a moment I forgot […]

Daily best music in the world: Gateway
Do you listen to enough Gateway? That’s a trio with guitarist John Abercrombie, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack Dejohnette. I believe they released four albums total on ECM— two in the 70s and two […]
Daily best music in the world: Roy Haynes Hip Ensemble
This is a nearly forgotten early fusion project by Roy Haynes: Roy Haynes Hip Ensemble. I read about the group in the Jack Dejohnette/Charlie Perry book, and was lucky enough to find a banged up […]
Daily best music in the world: Leo
Rashied Ali’s band playing my favorite piece from Interstellar Space. With Carlos Ward.
Daily best music in the world: more Parliament

DBMITW: Ornette Coleman live, 1968
A little change in gears as we near the end of our little fund raising drive. A big thanks to the mighty few who have made donations and purchased books— if any of our other […]
Daily best music in the world: Andrew Cyrille with Grachan Moncur III
Just a nice track from a record I’ve never heard, by Moncur, a famous trombonist, with Andrew Cyrille on the drums:
Daily best music in the world: Connie Kay swings
We don’t get to hear much of Connie Kay— usually he’s buried in the back of the Modern Jazz Quartet, playing very conservatively. Here, with French(?) guitarist Andre Conduant, we get to hear him forward […]
