This morning's #workout #music is from the late (RIP) great Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) doing a duet concert with Johnny Dyani in 1977. These excerpts really show what a complete musician he was and feature moods from fierce to serene.

Remember kids: friends don't let friends "Zorn". Not even once.
A concise and funny article propping up early Zorn experiments as some kind of evil or fucked up taboo. Good stuff! 🤣
"Here is a list of things Naked City sounds like: a jazz “Revolution 9,” a broken tape of a French murder mystery, a rollercoaster on the brink of falling apart, the varsity jazz band in a mental institution, The Wizard of Gore, a man in a red velvet suit whispering something seductive and then screaming in your ear, nothing else."
Wholesome tunes for the entire family to gather around the stereophonic sound system in the living room and listen together to on a cold winter Sunday evening.
"The Sicilian Clan"(linked in the article) is still one of my favorite "smooth" jazz-noir bits after 30+ years.

Abhorrent Expanse – Enter the Misanthropocene Review
By Dear Hollow
How experimental is too experimental? That’s the question Chicago’s Abhorrent Expanse posits. It’s clear from the title: Enter the Misanthropocene enters to play jazz and fuck shit up, and “Bitches Brew” is on its final notes. When the Lord of the Promo Pit designated the quartet as “death-drone,” I was intrigued and gobbled up rights. It was clear from the jump that Abhorrent Expanse was not the death metal act with a mammoth guitar tone I had hoped, but an improvisational free jazz quartet that decides to do extreme metal sometimes, with death metal, grindcore, and, yes, drone metal making short-lived appearances. Pushing the boundary between extreme lofty experimentation and outright nonsense, Enter the Misanthropocene is a sophomore effort that will take you to an abstract and uncompromising world – or straight to the medicine cabinet for an aspirin.
Abhorrent Expanse has a solid lineup, including caliber from Zebulon Pike, Celestiial, Obsequiae, and The Blight – even if its sound feels entirely convoluted. Following the controversial debut Gateways to Resplendence, Enter the Misanthropocene is largely the same, but its scope is larger, significantly reducing its drone content in favor of jazzy noodling, grind intensity, sprawling ambiance, and deconstructed death metal jaggedness. The drone that exists within is a short-lived sprawl that pops up periodically, giving a more abstract feel than its predecessor’s “dissodeath meeting drone metal in a dark alley behind the Kmart” vibe. Forty-eight minutes of whiplash-inducing tonal and tempo shifts, off-key twanging, random stoner sprawls, and an undeserved love for improv awaits – and I need a nap.
Say it with me: improv is bad. I get the whole avant-garde approach that John Zorn would drool over, that an improvised performance is a “never see it the same way twice” kind of deal, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. As we’ve seen with typically good bands like Neptunian Maximalism or Bunsenburner, relying on group chemistry instead of thoughtful songwriting to create a singular experience hardly pans out – and Enter the Misanthropocene is no exception. Moments of avant-garde clarity in which the instruments align shine in the twitching obscure grind (title track, “Assail the Density Matrix,” “Dissonant Aggressors”), short-lived minimalist drone (“Praise for Chaos,” “Dissonant Aggressors,” “Ascension Symptom Acceleration”), haunting ritualism (“Waves of Graves”), and ambient calm (“Kairos”). Death growls are sparse. Enter the Misanthropocene is so free jazz and avant-garde it forcibly drags nonconsenting listeners into what seems like obscenely high art…
…Or incompetent musicianship. Much of Abhorrent Expanse’s sound is rooted in utter nonsense, and one that often gets played really fast. While there’s certainly artistic discomfort aplenty to be found on this record, in which I can see some merit (“Waves of Graves,” “Drenched Onyx”), these are scattered moments among what sound like the plonks and twunks of a novice fiddling with a new guitar at Guitar Center. Atonal noodling and off-beat drumming accounts for the majority of its forty-eight minute runtime, sounding entirely random. The drone-doom moments feel off-beat and misaligned (“Praise for Chaos”), some ambient moments are so subtle and minimalist that they just cover John Cage’s 4’33” for a bit before eventually becoming audible (“Nephilim Disinterred”), and by the end of the ten-minute closer “Prostrate Before Chthonic Devourment” you might feel like you’ve been through a prostrate exam.
The promotion around Abhorrent Expanse relies on similarities to dissonant acts like Portal and Imperial Triumphant – but in order to do that, they’d actually have to write some songs first. Gateways to Resplendence was challenging and avant-garde but anchored to a respectable degree; Enter the Misanthropocene is a leaf on the wind, being blown by one avant-garde gust to another with no semblance of gravity to save it. Its high-art status is a divisive issue, as the directionless noodling can be seen as either a challenging piece of art or four dudes who don’t know how to play their instruments. But isn’t that the nature of art itself? Abhorrent Expanse holds a mirror to art itself, making us question what is drivel and what is erudite – through the improvised off-key noodling of someone who has arguably never picked up a guitar before.

Moor Mother – Fetish Bones (2016, US)
As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 684 on The List, submitted by platenworm.
I think it would be a disservice to attempt to sum up this album, the debut from poet, visual artist, and musician Moor Mother aka Camae Ayewa. Like all of Moor Mother’s work, it’s a difficult listen, some might think it requires CWs. But it’s a necessary listen. Her work is necessary. It’s truth, it’s harsh, it’s protest in sonic form. As the Bandcamp description says:
Fetish Bones is not an album meant to help you forget. It is made so that you will remember the injustices that we bear witness to and participate in.
If you dig this one, I highly recommend going down the Moor Mother/Camae Ayewa rabbit hole. Perhaps track down Ayewa’s debut book of poetry of the same title, also released in 2016. Or check out other Moor Mother releases, such as that from last year, The Great Bailout (which made my personal AOTY list). Or look up her various collabs, such as her collab with ZONAL or her collab with SUMAC coming out in April (thanks Pauxlll for those tips!). Or take a while to peruse the website for the Black Quantum Futurism collective, “an interdisciplinary practice founded by Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips that synthesizes quantum physics with Afrodiasporic principles and ontologies of time, space, ritual, text, and sound, yielding an innovative framework for the creation of counterhistories and alternate futures.” Or look up the free jazz group Ayewa is in, Irreversible Entanglements (my entry point to Ayewa), perhaps starting with their 2017 s/t or their AMAZING 2024 Tiny Desk Concert. I swear, if you have 27 minutes and click on that last link, you might even find yourself equipped with some courage, perhaps even a smidgen of hope, to face what’s coming, what’s here.
- The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “You’re the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall”, “You’re mother superior in only a bra”, and “You’re the same kind of bad as me”, after an earlier survey with “You’re the head on the spear”/“You’re the nail on the cross”/“You’re the fly in my beer”/“You’re the key that got lost”. The second option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “mother”. ↩︎
