Clusone 3 -- Love Henry/ Soft Lights and Sweet Music




Oliver Lake -- Makin' It




Nellie Lutcher -- Real Gone!/ Our New Nellie




v/a -- Tower of Song: the songs of Leonard Cohen

[J.F.]

I really was into the Clusone Trio in the mid/late 90s. Back then they were a major reference point for "recent stuff" in my thesis about Han Bennink. I actually was at the festival gig that is documented on "Love Henry", taking photos, making notes, etc. It was fantastic to experience Bennink's collage approach at first hand - exactly while planning to write about it.

And... wow, how things have changed.

[jon abbey]

yeah, they were incredible in the early-mid 90s, probably even more so live than on record. one midnight show at the Knitting Factory was probably the closest I ever saw a jazz/improv band come to having a rock and roll type feel.

[J.F.]

My "how things have changed" bit is there because I don't think I'd enjoy listening through a complete Clusone 3-CD these days... but maybe I just should try it again without prejudice.

n.p.:
Checking a few compilations I made for drum students of mine: Björk, St. Vincent, M.I.A., The Do, that kind of stuff. I once drove a mom crazy with the M.I.A. tracks I gave her daughter. Not sure it was because of that, but soon after she quit her drum lessons.

yeah, I was implicitly agreeing with you, I doubt I could get through 10 minutes (although again I never thought their CDs did them justice).

Adele -- 25





Jewels and Binoculars -- s/t / Ships With Tattooed Sails

[J.F.]

JF -- do you like Fritz Hauser?

From what I heard of him I can say: not very much (but that impression is limited to a few 90s hat ART CDs he plays on).
These days I'm finding more inspiration for my free improv practise in this kinda drumming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP50eBhtws8
(= basically the opposite of Hauser, on various levels)

[Piano Mouth]

Just curious if anyone knows how many hat art/hat hut/hatology releases there are that I can get my grimey hands on

[jon abbey]

hundreds.

i like this too yet feel it's so engagingly sequenced that the whole is more than the sum of its moments

at89 Joseph Kudirka ‘Beauty and Industry’ -- Played by Apartment House

vaguely reminiscent of Morton Feldman..

was somewhat put off by the seemingly narrow scope of this, but it's growing nicely.. really well-played and the recording is excellent. great to hear Apartment House tackle a variety of terrain (james saunders, laurence crane, et al) with such frequency

edit: possible it was the recurring track titles that misdirected me, but there's strong variety and cohesion to the album.
