Albert Ayler..."Ghosts"...Love Cry...(Impulse)
One of my very favorite saxophonists, and one of my fave albums from him.
Sabu Martinez & Sahib Shihab..."A Memo To Art Blakey"...Winds & Skins...(Mellotronen)
Mats Gustafsson...untitled...Abet?! 45...(Terp)
One of my favorite releases of the year! A 7" of free jazz recorded in concert in Ethiopia. The solo bari piece by The Thing's Mats Gustafsson seems to excite the Addis audience. A Vandermark/Baars/Nillsson-Love trio on the flip. Highly recommended single, put out with help from The Ex.
The Ex & Getatchew..."Aha Gedawo"...Y'Anbessaw Tezeta...(Terp)
Los Pirañas..."Toma tu Jabón Kapax"...Toma Tu Jabón Kapax...(Vampisoul)
The Pop Group..."She Is Beyond Good & Evil"...12"...(Radar)
Defunkt..."Razor's Edge"...12"...(Hannibal)
Some ripping early 80s funk featuring Joseph, Lester & Byron Bowie, as well as other St Louis players like alto player Luther Thomas. One of my favorites from the early 80s NYC scene. Bonus: cover art by a young Mats Gustafsson!
Antibalas..."Dirty Money"...Antibalas...(Daptone)
Check out the official video here.
Concept Neuf..."The Path" (Sofrito edit)...Sofrito--International Soundclash...(Strut)
Very cool version of the Ralph MacDonald classic!
Gasper Lawal..."Ajomasé"...Ajomasé...(CAP)
I was stoked to find a nice copy of this over at Feeding Tube Records in Northampton. Hear some of it.
Bromb Treb..."Readinessmax"...Horaflora/Bromp Treb split 7"...(Yeay!)
Dubby Bromp Treb sounds with a cool laser cut Sightlab sleeve. The Horaflora side is equally bumpin.
Lee Perry..."Dub Plate Pressure"...Sound System Scratch vol 1...(Pressure Sounds)
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion..."Black Mold"...45...(Mom & Pop/Boombox)
The Johnny Otis Show..."The Signifyin' Monkey"...Cold Shot!...(United)
Galt MacDermott's First Natural Hair Band..."Ripped Open By Metal Explosions"...45...(Kilmarnock)
Träd, Gräs och Stenar..."Sanningens Silverflod"...Träd, Gräs och Stenar...(Silence reissue)
Leon Thomas..."Shape Your Mind To Die"...Blues And The Soulful Truth...(Flying Dutchman)
Gregory Porter..."1960 What?" (Wicked Jazz Sounds radio edit)...promo
Karthala '72..."Bahari Farasi"...Diable Du Feu...(Electric Cowbell)
Iceburn..."Moon"...7"...(Art Monk Construction)
I hadn't heard this since it came out back in 94. The music here, particularly on "Moon", sounds leagues beyond anything in the 90s hardcore scene from which they came. Electric Miles and Mahavishnu are influences here, as well as metal.
Mahavishnu Orchestra..."Meeting of the Spirits"...The Inner Mounting Flame...(Columbia)
Menahan Street Band..."Keep Coming Back"...45...(Dunham)
Geomungo Factory..."Geomungo & Tango"...Metamorphosis...(Synnara)
K.S. Chithra..."Chitthirai Maasatthu"...K.S. Chithra...(Finders Keepers)
Joshua Abrams..."The Ba"...Represencing...(Eremite)
Malinga Five..."Kaloule Woman"...Rock Africa...(Barclay)
Cos-Ber-Zam..."Né Noya"...v/a-Afrobeat Airways...(Analog Africa)
Last week we heard the Daphni edit. This time we go to the original from Togo.
Banda Achilifunk..."The Vulture"...Gitano Real...(Lovemonk)
Fun cover of the Labi Siffre classic.
