#HotTakeJubilee The music African Americans made between roughly 1955 - 1975 is the greatest art movement in human history.

#nowreading Outrageous by Kliph Nesteroff. A history of censorship in entertainment. Both sobering and entertaining book citing examples when censorship went too far (ie "communist" related censorship) to examples when censorship was necessary (ie canceling things like blackface). Not a book for the "you can't be funny anymore" Joe Rogan set, as author makes the case there's more free speech today than ever.

Also the Nazis banned jazz in 1937. Listen to jazz.

Kalil El-Zabar - A Time For Healing.
Have been loving this spiritual jazz release from last year. Good Sunday music.

Transcendent song 🇧🇷

Melodies galore. Best descending bassline you will ever hear. Amazing bridge with swooning strings leading to cathartic landing. Trippy background vocals make me wish I was on mushroom tea. And Jorge Ben’s vocal phrasing just takes you on a ride. Sublime.

#HotTakeJubilee Keith Moon sucks. Can't keep time. No pocket. No groove. Definitely not "jazzy" which is how some of these British rock drummers are labeled (ahem, Ginger Baker). Plays like Animal from the Muppets. Ruins all the beauty of delicacy of Townsend's songs. I like the Who still, but honestly I like Townsend solo more than the Who.

#NowPlaying - @SunRaUniverse at montreux, july '76. coincidentally, almost exactly concurrent with the previous don cherry session. but, maybe not coincidentally, also near the end of the arkestra's furthest-out period, before they headed for more inside orbits. not inside yet, though. sprawling full-spectrum 20+ member 2-drummer ensemble #jazz arrangements blowing apart & back again, led by sunny's powerful (& wonderfully recorded) #piano & noisy starstuff #synth. @vinylrecords

#NowPlaying - don & moki cherry & the organic music theatre, france, late august '72. the height of the cherrys' is-this-even-#jazz commune vibes in the middle of a giant straight jazz festival featuring mingus, blakey, etc. kids on stage, puppet shows, lots of chants & singalongs & percussion (including nana vasconcelos), some light #drone. from the(?) period when cherry didn't play any #trumpet at all. https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/organic-music-theatre-festival-de-jazz-de-chateauvallon-1972 @vinylrecords

#NowPlaying - revisiting early santana for the first time in eons at the behest of a (drummer) pal who suggested trying to background carlos & focus on the next-level collectivity of this specific group of players. and, like, shit yeah! it's probably just stating the obvious to say that santana were an incredible band, but it made them feel fresh to me. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Allman Brothers - Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas. The other live Allman release. Two keys, two drums and only Mr Betts on guitar. Cover is bad but the jams are great. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness and Charm. One of their groovier albums? Only one I own. Listened to this maybe 15 times and still have no idea what's happening. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On. Sly took us higher. Here's the funk comedown. Slow, loose 4am grooves. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Lou Reed - Street Hassle. It dirges. It stomps. It's beatniky. Probably the best Lou Reed solo album. @vinylrecords

#nowplaying Larry Coryell - Coryell. If you own one Coryell album it should be this one (Fairyland is also amazing). Bernard Perdie on drums. Ron Carter bass on two tracks. Coryell in Hendrix mode for a lot of this album. Psychedelic jazz guitar masterpiece. Still a bargain bin album at record stores. @vinylrecords
