Maya Beiser x Philip Glass - 2021

I started listening to her recent rendition of Terry Riley’s In C, but this is a bit more ‘approachable’ shall we say.

My favourite John Scofield album Time on My Hands with Joe Lovano, Charlie Haden & Jack DeJohnette. Top compositions and superb ensemble playing. Blue Note 1990.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse, ‘Americana’ on CD. Just because I’ve not listened to Neil Young in a while.

Tool | Undertow | 1993
Maynard James Keenan and the boys with their first heavy metal studio album before they turned to more alternative/performance metal on one of my favourites of theirs Ænima in '96. Fabulous stuff in this genre

Nubya Garcia - Odyssey. Qobuz stream. Bought and enjoyed her first album. Giving this new one a go. To me a lot of ‘new’ jazz sounds pretty samey but Garcia is clearly one of the market leaders. Nice use of strings.

Agree about “new jazz”. Mrs R says the same about old jazz, though. No accounting for taste, I guess.

How could I have forgotten about CBB. This has really blown away the Autumn cobwebs. :spider_web:

Sticking with Neil Young on CD. ‘After the Gold Rush’ - a bit of a classic.

Along with Japan '71, Earls Court '75 is THE apex.

My sympathies are with Mrs R tbh. She clearly knows her stuff :wink: In all seriousness once you remove the genuine innovators isn’t that the case with most genres? Coming to the end of the Garcia now and I’ve really enjoyed it.
