#NowPlaying Susan Alcorn / Joe McPhee / Ken Vandermark - Invitation to a Dream

Loving this first trio recording of three remarkable players, including Susan Alcorn who died earlier this year. The album title is so fitting: this is a bright portal into an otherworldly, spiritual space, all beautifully recorded.

“We lovingly dedicate this album to refugees, immigrants, and the persecuted wherever they may be.” YES!

#Upcoming Quick thread 🧵: Originally released by #HatHut in Switzerland, #SuperiorViaduct has announced reissues of a trio of #JoeMcPhee albums. Let’s goooo!

#Upcoming Trio of #JoeMcPhee, #MetteRasmussen, #DennisTyfus from a 2018 recording in Antwerp. The LP moves with anarchic swagger from explosions of clattering cymbals and bellowing horns to near-silent episodes of mysterious rumble and clunk. Available via #BlackTruffle, August 18th. https://blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/oblique-strategies
