Whole album was great, but their cover of one of my favorite Bond themes, “Tomorrow Never Dies,” was a wonderful surprise.
CLOUDWARD – Mary Halvorson
Took two listens to fall in love but once I did, I fell hard: much more of an insanely-talented-composer-who-happens-to-be-an-insanely-talented-instumentalist's record than an insanely-talented-instrumentalist-who-happens-to-be-an-insanely-talented-composer's. In Halvorson, I trust.
RECORDINGS 1990-1993 – Cukor Bila Smert'
Beautiful, kaleidescopic, winding, twisting, whirling: a must-listen.
PHAROAH – Pharoah Sanders
A classic as new and vital as the day it landed. Essential.
WOODEN MUSIC I - Tomasz Stańko Quintet
By turns rollicking and elegiac, often within the same composition. Purchased both this and the upcoming WOODEN MUSIC II on vinyl. So good.
THE 80'Z – UZC
While my brilliant hermano didn't succeed in making me love 80's music (he’s brilliant, not a miracle worker), he did succeed, WILDLY, in making me love his take on 80's music: the most fun 23 minutes you'll have with an album this week.
