Ugly Beauty is a great column and the newest one has loads of interesting stuff

had Nduduzo Makhathini on this morning, great spiritual afro jazz, good vocal stuff going on

This guy gets mentioned too, Marquis Hill, and I listened to his Meditation Tape which is chilled hip hop jazz crossover stuff with some bloke talking about cosmic spiritual enlightenment at points

I don’t think of it as “smooth jazz” in the elevator-music kind of way, but I guess it is smooth and frankly, most of Pat Metheny’s music is just breathtaking music at times.

New Kneebody:

Does this count as jazz? It does in my book.

This is lovely.

On a sort of tangent, the LA Big Band did a great album of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays covers. There is some absolutely ridiculous playing on it. It’s all kinda polished and big-bandy but can’t help but really enjoy it.

Miles Davis - In a silent way - incredible stuff
finally checked it out
seems to start laying down the first stepping stones that lead to On The Corner
there’s a deep rolling head-nodding vibe to it with those restless creative flourishes
love the way it all unfolds
early days but its got to be threatening at least a podium position of my favourite Jazz LPs - vying with the likes of A Love Supreme, Love for Sale, Shape of things and The Bridge

Hey all, first-time poster here!

Just came across this thread whilst browsing and wanted to share a new British jazz playlist that a friend and I put together earlier this week. Loads of stuff in here from Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings (Sons of Kemet, Comet Is Coming, Melt Yourself Down etc. too), Yussef Kamaal, Yazmin Lacey etc.

Is anyone going to either of the Sun Ra Arkestra shows in Brighton later this year?

This is slightly bizarre but also amazing.

“I wish I could make people hear things the way he makes people see things”. Lovely stuff.
