He has been recording for over 50 years..he is a virtual walking/playing musical history book. ECM usual quality.

Gorillaz, D-sides

Not B sides, or even C...somewhat uneven quality, a few good tunes. Sonics is so-so, very high level mastering.

Adrian Belew, side three

Short but sweet...

Gil Evans Orchestra, out of the cool

A worthwhile reissue, excellent sonics.

Matt Shulman, so it goes

Quote

Shulman’s music is similar in approach to the avant garde style popular in the 1960s, but with an ethereal quality. The music may be too abstract for smooth jazz fans, but the more adventurous listener may appreciate, if not adore, So It Goes.

I listed this one some weeks ago, it deserves wider recognition.

And now for something completely different...

Skruk and Altiplano / Misa Andina

I was stumbling around the public library yesterday and found this. No info to speak of in the liner notes, all in Spanish or Norwegian...pictures of hombres with guitars and pan pipes, apparently a folk setting of the Mass. But this disc is an import from Norway. Skruk is a Norwegian choir, Altiplano a Chilean instrumental ensemble and together they're pure magic. Kinda similar to Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez. Here's the only samples I could find, an English version... but something sure sounds weird about these. Thinking they just ran the choral track through Babelfish or something.

Cool find Alan, Thanks! Here's a nice write-up by someone who's apparently very familiar with the composer... info
