There was a period in the first half of the 90s where straightahead/post-bop #jazz structures were married (successfully) to very vascular, propulsive rhythm sections, and this is no exception, from 1991:
Herbie Hancock: piano/keys
Wayne Shorter: saxophones
Stanley Clarke: bass
Omar Hakim: drums
@zeruch this was the period I was just getting into live jazz and lineups of this type were catnip for my ears - Crazy People Music era Branford Marsalis Quartet being my specific entry point. It felt very fresh but was clearly directly in the classic jazz lineage I was just learning to appreciate. This lineup holds up wonderfully well, but how could it not with that group of killers?

God Bless The Child by BS&T is a monster. The arrangement is pure genius. Killer horns, hip trumpet and sax solos. You may not have heard it in the last 40 or so years, so give it a spin. #Nowplaying#jazz#vinyl

I bought this album in 1970 while in high school, for no other reason than I was mezmorized by the cover art, and heard that Miles is hip and I should be listening to him. At the time, I didn't get it and shelved it for years. It took being exposed to much more music to understand what genius is contained on these disks. So much history and influences are amalgamated into this music. #jazz#afro#rock#freejazz#milesdavis#BitchesBrew#nowplaying#vinyl
@digginjazz for me this was the album that opened up everything. A friend put it on late at a party when everyone was in a perceptive and receptive mindset and within minutes I realized I knew nothing about music at all
Profile » Marshall Allen: A Century of Joyful Noise
Marshall Allen turned 100 years old on May 25, 2024. Back in 1995, when Allen inherited the leadership of the Sun Ra Arkestra at the age of 71, you would have got pretty good odds that he would not be holding the chair nearly thirty years hence. But the cosmology of the Sun Ra Arkestra, and all who sail in her, is nothing if not strange. #jazz#sunra
happy 100th arrival day to the deputy marshall allen, "dep" as he was/is known inside the @SunRaUniverse arkestra. can't believe i've gotten to see him play as many times as i have (& hopefully will again soon). WKCR is playing 24 hours of marshall today to celebrate. https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/story/marshall-allen-birthday-broadcast#jazz
