Recent acquisitions from Tzadik.

November 7, 2008

It’s been all about the Braxton Arista box since I got it, but I’ve squeezed in a couple of other things too.

Zaebos by Medeski Martin & Wood. This is disappointing. Damn hippies. The first clunker I’ve heard in the Masada Book II series. Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3’s from Amazon.

The True Story Concerning Martin Behaim by Zakarya. Third record of theirs I’ve bought since this post, 413a is still the strongest but it’s all great.  Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3’s from Amazon.

Sojourn by Marty Ehrlich’s Dark Woods Ensemble. Great playing, great material, very mellow vibe.  Buy discs from Tzadik, MP3’s from Amazon.

Epic fail, teh YooToobz haz it.

November 3, 2008

I just searched YouTube for “art bears democracy,” and not only did it not give me what I wanted, not only were Frith, Cutler, and Krauss completely invisible on the first page of results, but the Sarah Palin swimsuit video was fourth.  (One of Edward Current’s videos was sixth tho)

Braxton’s Arista output is available.

October 20, 2008

From Mosaic Records.  Lots of related text/video/linkery at the link.  Unfortunately there is no option but to buy the whole wad on 8 cd’s for three figures, but it’s worth it.

This is stuff from the seventies, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul are all over it, Kenny Wheeler and George Lewis are somewhat all over it, and appearances are made by, among others, Richard Teitelbaum, Henry Threadgill, Leroy Jenkins, Frederic Rzewski, Leo Smith, Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, Oliver Lake and other WSQ’ers.
