Thanks for the heads up, been enjoying Shabaka Hutchings through collaborations with Nightmares on Wax, Shout Out! To Freedomā¦ (which if it doesnāt give away too much about my record collection, sorts very close to Nilotika Cultural Ensemble!)
Lining up Afrikan Culture for later. Lunchtime listening time restricted to this one
Hope youāre recuperating!

Thanks @gthack back still playing up but great excuse to just idle and listen to music.
I love Nilotika Cultural Ensemble, glad you are too. You might also like the simikarky titled but in a different style to Nilotika the Nok Cultural Ensemble - Njhyi
More relevant to this thread, Iām sure your probably aware but if not for more Shabaka check Sons Of Kemet, Shabaka And The Ancestors, The Comet Is Coming.
Thanks for the Nightmares On Wax tip, will check that out
Have a great New Year

I was not aware! Thank you. Despite the excitement of New Classic, this is the sort of thing that really makes the forum for me, really appreciate the breadth and depth of musical knowledge.
Have a great New Year too, heal fast

Yes, I know what you mean, but I had the same thoughts when I heard about this album reworking In A Silent Way and other Miles music from around that time. But I liked it.

I canāt remember if I have Panthalassa - Iāll have a dig through my CDs on my days off next weekā¦
Laswell used Milesā and his bandās recorded performances to make the new mixes/imaginings or did he have other musicians ārecreateā the music? (Which is what I imagine is the case with BB, given the line up).
Reworking Miles from the 70ās, a great and original job:

Hi @steviebee. Laswell had the original session tapes which is a big help! In my view it would be hard to improve on the originals. In the end, I am glad there are people out there interested enough to keep the music alive.

Yes, I agree. Although I donāt think of Bitches Brew as necessarily dead or close to, lol. One of the albums for younger people to hear (or even heard of) Iād hopeā¦and even non-jazzers, perhaps (a bit too spiky maybe. Itās too spiky for some jazzers! 
)

Though Iām a huge fan of Miles Davis Bitches Brew just goes way over my head though I did listen to the reworking and itās ok.
Great to know that young people are accessing Miles work through projects like this so in that sense itās very worthwhile.

Bob will be probably happy to order it, and Dread maybe not as thereās some rap inside.
I couldnāt for now find the musicians involved.
