New #review today: "Back on their 2012 album A Little Bit of Big Bonanza, #BushmansRevenge covered #SonnySharrock’s “As We Used to Sing,” and that gives us a good idea where they get their idea of jazz from. On Ah, les Vaches! they carry on in the same basic vein they’ve been mining for as long as I’ve been aware of them. At one end of the spectrum, they play loose, noisy #jazz in Sharrock’s idiom, and at the other, they drift off into effects-laden atmospheric haze." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #KarismaRecords #IsItJazzRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bushmans-revenge-ah-les-vaches-2.html

“Your #improvisation must have feeling,” #SonnySharrock wrote. “It must swing, and it must have beauty, be it the fragile beauty of a snowflake or the terrible beauty of an erupting volcano. #Beauty, no matter how disturbing or how still, is always true.” #music #MusicSky

Sonny Sharrock – Ask The Ages (Axiom – 422-848 957-2 Released: 1991) The first jazz LP I ever really loved. Still amazing. #nowplaying #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylcollectors #vinylcollection #vinyl #musicsky #jazz #sonnysharrock #elvinjones #pharoahsanders

Miles Davis - Jack Johnson
I've read multiple conflicting accounts of how this album came together. Despite it being two tracks (Side A - Right Off; Side B - Yesternow), it was edited together by Teo Macero from a bunch of separate sessions.
But whatever the truth is, the band absolutely cooks. Probably my favorite "Electric Miles" album.

Whut. This is amazing. As recommended by Zola Jesus, listening in particular for the incredible vocals by Linda Sharrock.

#NowPlaying ❝This is going on the radio, that’s how good it is, might as well strike a blow for freedom or whatever.

❝We never cared about, you know, developing the standard classical European Western techniques or whatever, and I developed my own techniques, Linda developed her own techniques, and I think that's what folk music is about, you know. And jazz: I have a strong feeling that jazz is a folk music.❞ — #SonnySharrock https://web.archive.org/web/20140901214309/http://mysite.verizon.net/vze10ekno/sharrock/scheinin.html

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html

Last Exit's Iron Path was the CD that convinced me to finally buy a CD player in 1988. (Though ultimately "Noise of Trouble: Live in Tokyo" is my fave of their recordings.)

#NowPlaying Byard Lancaster - It's Not Up To Us (Superior Viaduct, 2023).
I've never seen the original released in 1968 on the Vortex label, an Atlantic subsidiary. So I picked up the Superior Viaduct recent reissue.
With Sonny Sharrock on guitar.
