The great jazz composer Mike Westbrook has died.
I've been lucky enough to see him perform several times, leading small groups and big bands.
His death is a great loss. But of course we still have the music.

Ill Considered & special guests incl. Theon Cross - Precipice (Live)
I was just wondering when Ill Considered might have new music out and here it is, ahead of a single coming out tomorrow. Since their most recent album was their finest yet (in fact it keeps moving up and is entering rare air in my personal hierarchy, I think it is a masterpiece) I'm quite excited for anything new from them.
As usual for them, this is improvised.

Polar Bear
Used the breadcrumbs from @LostReflector & @mrcompletely to get to this band. Led by drummer Seb Rochford (who was on one of the Sons of Kemet videos from yesterday's toots)

Today I think I'll post a series (not a thread, for better discoverability) on #UKjazz the #London and related #jazz and fusion/crossover #music scene. These are just my favo(u)rites and not intended to be definitive or anything like that. Right up front I need to shout out my friend @LostReflector who has been a big part of this journey with me.
We start with the mighty Shabaka Hutchings and Sons of Kemet. Just watch it. He's a fucking titan.

Here's an excellent atypical holiday album: An Ill Considered Christmas
This is #jazz out of the #ukjazz scene from a few years back. It hits a rare sweet spot: the songs still sound like the holiday tunes they are, but they move into richer and more interesting tonal territory than usual, gaining a bit of dark edge without losing their identity.
The album is no longer on bandcamp that I see. The first several Ill Considered albums are highly recommended modern jazz.
