Once again, I brought a few things from home that play fast and loose with the label “jazz”, particularly the great Haruna Ishola’s Nigerian apala music. We’re not here to toe any lines, folks.
The new live David Murray/Kahil El’Zabar record isn’t bad, although the sound quality is pretty rough. Not unprecedented for small-budget live albums, but considering how some people manage to make consistently high-quality live recordings, I guess I notice more.
Sorry, just don’t feel like sprinkling in all the links in this weeks playlist…
