  1. Art Ensemble of Chicago - People In Sorrow


    I haven't played this much. However it was just what I fancied this morning and I really enjoyed it.

    A Japanese pressing with a proper Tesco Value sleeve.

    Bowie and Adler squeak and squawk over a very low-key background. However, out of that emerges some beautiful melody. Makes me promise myself to sit down and properly listen to this album and reveal its hidden depths. One day.

    This album was recorded in Boulogne. This was where British schools used to go to for our French day trip. I remember discussing Holiday In Cambodia with my mate on the coach because John Peel had played it the night before. This means it was 1980 when I went. Like some Willie Russell play, we'd be let loose in the town to buy flick knives and bangers, fill up on Orangina (Mmmmm) and get in fights (boys) or cop off with (girls) the local youth whilst the teachers got half-cut. Happy days.

  4. “[W]hat was important to me was that we just brought ourselves and the idea of coexistence and collision of musical languages. It was important to me not to put the kora in the place of having to adapt and play jazzy. Or find a way to make the Chicago musicians sound more like those from Mali. I didn’t want to do that. What I love about this collaboration is that we have not done that. We’re both bringing compositions and learning from each other. We’re learning each other’s languages while leaving each other space to make our own expressions within the music.“ - Nicole Mitchell

    Kids. Go check out this hot Long Playing(LP) album (now available in stereophonic sound) now! It even got a 9.5 rating by those Pitchfork hipsters! Now that's a sign of quality.

  10. at the closing of the #longplay festival in #brooklyn, the half-century running #ArtEnsembleOfChicago presents their powerful vision of a generational #jazz exchange/transfer, led by famoudou don moye with shabaka hutchings subbing for a covid'd roscoe mitchell (& getting a mindflaying midset spotlight), words by moor mother, beautiful heaviness all around, & a sigh of relief when moye was okay after propelling himself backwards off his drum stool on the final beat of an encore song.
