Gato Barbieri: Chapter One: Latin America
Really amazing composition, you have the saxophone taking center stage, and the backing band is playing this totally unique fusion of LatAm music with spiritual jazz.

The Pyramids: Lalibela
Flawless in every way, and this time there is elements from African music mixed in.

Dresch Dudás Mihály Quartet: Gondolatok a régiekről
Amazing 90s jazz that adds a lot of instruments from Hungarian folk music to create a sound you won't hear anywhere else.

Horace Tapscott with The Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra: Ancestral Echoes: The Covina Sessions, 1976
My favorite albums from him actually, the saxophone gets a lot of attention and it's succinct in length at 70 minutes, his big band albums tend to be much longer, and you can make out the players well.

Some lesser known Spiritual Jazz Favorites of mine:
1. Billy Harper: Knowledge of Self
This is is totally crazy. He is so good at saxophone and has such a great backing band. I wasn't anticipating him to be so close to Coltrane in ability.

spend 2 hours making tv static music, then spend 1 minute getting a random piece of art, then release 1 every month, art is over

Honestly, I like the more spacey jammy sound on Europe 72' more, but this is still really good.

Yeah I never like imagined I would like his music, but I really got into it this year. I plan to do his stuff 87 and after and some more live albums eventually.

I think I will listen to the two shows it pulls from soon.
November 21, 2024 at 8:17 PM
I Think it is more interesting to answer this literally

1. Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Albums

2. May 1977: Get Shown the Light

3. Longmont Potion Castle: Official Compact Discography

4. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live 1975-85

5. LTJ Bukem: Logical Progression

This is the first thing I listened to to ease myself into the band, has a better recording quality than their early studio albums and it has a more succinct length than their other live releases. I think I should relisten to it, but

Listening to all of Colour Sound Oblivion is one of my listening goals for 2025.

269: Charles Mingus - Town Hall Concert 1964, Vol. 1
A good performance, but this sounds more like his older music than the other stuff he was doing in the 60s.

268: Miles Davis - Live-Evil
I was expecting more out of this, like other live albums from this era, this was pretty laid back trump based atmospheric music. It was chill and pretty good, just not a bombastic masterpiece like some of his other live albums.

266/267: The Ligeti Project 3 & 4
Listening to music like this reminds me of all the other dark music I've heard and I realize this is the real thing being referenced. Ligeti's music is a masterclass in combining elements of all forms of western classical music into a holistic package.
A+

265: Last Exit
Very raw and noisy while still being just as cerebral as it is exciting to listen to.

263: Casino by Al Di Meola
Technical jazz fusion in the style of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but I actually like this one more because of the latin music elements, I really enjoy that style of music.
November 20, 2024 at 6:50 AM
262: Intense live Jazz Fusion. I really like these original live jams he did. A
November 20, 2024 at 6:48 AM
261: Continuing on with Mahavishu Orchestra, this is similar to Birds of Fire, I guess it's tracks from that session or around it. Very technical and hot. B
