Sometimes in a trance, I feel in my core that CAN is jazz…
@tomic601 yeah, I can see that... Actually I think Connie Plank produced some tracks for Duke Ellington
Love CAN, love Neu! too, another Plank-produced German band from the same era
Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music
I wanted to start a thread to show there is more than just Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music in our world. And there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music as I do love that part of US Jazz based culture. But sometimes I want to hear and add more sound spices as it were, from other worldly and US jazz influenced music.
There is so much more other worldly and US jazz influenced music that goes unnoticed and it's time to bring those musics of different sound spices to the forefront to be shared.
Although I have started this thread I am not a or the moderator. Let me repeat I am not a or the moderator. I don't have the time nor energy to police anyone's take on the music they like and want to share. As I will always try and be open to others choices of music.

Agreed. I hear every form of percussion in this album from the original traditional indigenous americans native different cadences of drumming to some very similar to north and south India’s sounding finger drumming. This is an album of music one might have to listen to a few times to get it. Very off the beaten path, fantastic stuff. It’s interesting, fascinating that you would bring up american indian traditional indigenous music culture as it was america’s own Charley Patton the Grandfather of Delta Blues was of indian descent and is said to gather a lot of his rhythms from that community to create his Delta Blues. |
I'm down with the Delta blues- I'm partial to Skip James -the original tracks, not the re-do's once he was re-discovered. I know Revenant/John Fahey did a huge retrospective of Charlie Patton-won a slew of Grammys for it, not that awards are a measure, but it was notable when released. I find the young "blues detectives" who hunted down some of the original bluesmen to be fascinating-- they weren't all accredited scholars, but they knew the music from the '78s. |

Wow! I couldn't agree more. What an unknown hidden jewel (for me) of a find. Completely, way off the beaten path, undiscovered and way, way ahead of its time. Simply an outstanding piece of music. I checked to see if this was available in cd form on Discogs and it was not at this time, only on LP. Nice post, and this is exactly why I started this thread. Thank you @tablejockey.

You're making me think of the time I was a little kid and found my Dad's old 78's. And funny enough, they were mostly 'old blue eyes' Frank Sinatra's recordings from, about the time of WWII. |
