Ho- I can almost hang wich you today. I've got the album of that very Martha Argerich release and one by Susanna McCorkle, too. Thanks for the follow up on Andrew Hill. It was one of the RVG re-releases from '99. Hope things have gotten better.

A little stoner rock...

Fu Manchu - In Search Of...

The Warlocks - The Pheonix Album

A brutal classic...

Helmet - Meantime

Unlike the nu-metal acts that copied the start-stop guitar playing of Page Hamilton, this is an album that stands the test of time. I like it even more today then I did back in '93 when I first got it.

"It's hard to think of an Improv release that covers more stylistic ground - or more thoughtfully and beautifully - than Josh Abram's latest."

Kali Z. Fasteau/ Kidd Jordan, people of the ninth

Quote

This is humanist avant-garde jazz with warmth, soul, and deep feeling, using acoustic instruments: saxophones, piano, cello, bamboo flutes, drums and the cosmic bowed aquasonic.

Dedicated to the people of the ninth ward, where K.Jordan is based.

Gordy posted a site where Russell's latest was being featured. The program is "Echoes" from The University of Penn (WXPN 88.5). I'm listening now (11pm CST) to a segment called Tibetan Echos. Mostly ambient type stuff at the moment but you should get a load of their playlist!! I mean like wow!! This is a destination!! Thanks, G.
