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.
You should definitely check out the recent movement in "spiritual jazz"! Some wonderful new people, picking up were Alice Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharaoh Sanders, etc., left off. A few names to check out: Matthew Halsell (trumpet) Nat Birchall (sax) Shabaka & The Ancestors (sax) Ancient Infinity Orchestra Muriel Grossmann (sax) The Circling Sun Awa |
I got you... This is Earth Wind and Fire’s third album, this is a very raw album and recording, enjoy. Check out - ’Make It With You’, ’Power’ and all the other songs too. On this album the group had finally found the right members that started and solidified their rise in music. Earth Wind and Fire - Last Days and Time - 1972 Columbia Records And the Kalimba playing by Master percussionist Maurice White was very, very reminiscent of his fellow Chicagoan, Dorothy Ashby – The Rubáiyát Of Dorothy Ashby – Vinyl (LP, Album, Promo), 1970 [r8156271] | Discogs whom legend has it, Maurice White got the idea to use a Kalimba on a record. This record is very soulful, spiritual, definitely jazz influenced as Maurice White played with the Ramsey Lewis Trio before forming EW&F. https://www.discogs.com/release/7835747-Earth-Wind-Fire-Last-Days-And-Time And thanks to @mahgister for asking, and trying to get us all to write some form of introductory commentary when introducing artists, musicians. Instead of just posting a link. Making us think. |
Well, after all my comments on introductory commentary, I just got lazy on this post here. I’m human. Hope you all enjoy this one too. You can actually hear the cicadas in the night air, as if they were part of the duo’s ensemble. I love the call and response.
