Wild Goose-Colin Wilkie and Shirley Hart

A wonderful forgotten classic of avant garde jazz. Simple folk tunes deconstructed thrtough avant garde improvisations; so wonderfully singular, it sounds as if it's from another planet

SteveO Wrote:Yes you're el correcto, Matt! I don't like to use the words best and greatest but in this case I'll make an exception. Mingus was an intellectual as well as a humble common man and it showed in his musical diversity and composing. He wasn't pigeon-holed into a "formula" so to speak like Ellington and Basie with others.

His compositions were interesting and at times mesmerising to listen to. Bebop, Hard bebop. traditional, Latin, African, Soul, Blues, Avant Garde, Free Jazz, Contemporary Classical, Minimalist...need I go on!!!! He left us much too early!
yes Steve I have listened to jazz composers workshop and tijuana moods recently and I must say charles mingus's composition venture into bebop / hard bop and the avant garde' I must explore this man's work much further

^ The Black Saint and Sinner Lady is one to listen to !...if you haven't done so yet !

I am also fond of his album....Cumbia & Jazz Fusion ! Take it slow as Mingus released over 70 albums (studio and live) as well as a sideman on over 40 or so !!!!!

seriously, if you haven't heard Black Saint, listen to it right now, it's the greatest thing ever

Rip Rig and Panic-Rashan Roland Kirk

an excellent mold of traditional bop and the avant garde

ECM (Editions of Contemporary Music) compilation of avant garde, ambient, neo classical music!...nice way to end the day!

MARK SHOLTEZ "the distance between two truths" cd,2010. #88Au.

second set by Aussie Jazz guy Sholtez....
not sure when or where i got this one,woulodnt have thought i'd have bought this, maybe a 'freebie' from Corey at some point???
they call him "jaz/blues"but i think here are touches of folk mixed in here also...
pleasant enough music and vocals, only problem i have with it is the lack of variation on this one...all too much of a muchness for me to keep interested throughout in one sitting so had to re-listen to the second half again on sunday....
sorry for the lack of links here within guys...surprised to find the two singles released off the album are both tracks i do not like???....go figure!
