The Hagiga Sextet are an Israeli jazz band led by saxophonist Alon Farber, one found during my daily stumble around Facebook’s groups.
Avant-Garde
[Video] Bruno Nicolai – De Sade ’70
Does it get any trashier than the movies of Jess Franco? Maybe, but those probably aren’t legal to show anywhere outside of Europe.
Italian film-score maestro Bruno Nicolai is responsible for this slab of fuzz. For more on the film, read here.
[Video] Max Roach / Archie Shepp – Force
Perhaps the greatest drummer jazz ever produced, Max Roach is heard here collaborating with the equally innovative Archie Shepp. The less I say about the politics of this otherwise awesome album, the better, however.
[Video] Alexander Von Schlippenbach Trio – Pakistani Pomade (1972)
Alexander Von Schlippenbach is one of the luminaries in the world of free jazz. He’s a fine pianist who makes full and absolute use out of his weapon of choice.
[Article] Duke Ellington and Conny Plank recording session discovered
Can you imagine a cooler collaboration? The true giant of the jazz world (yes, even bigger than Miles Davis, in my opinion) recording in conjunction with the top producer in the world of Krautrock. I can’t imagine a cooler union!
The Wire has more about this here.
GRM on Bandcamp!
Holy smokes! The legendary INA-GRM Record Label out of Paris, France, which housed some of the most legendary names in electroacoustic and avant-garde music, has decided to release selected titles as downloads via Bandcamp, and at reasonable prices!
[Video] Charles Mingus – Prayer For Passive Resistance
Jazz. Where you can be a revolutionary without uttering a single word (maybe a few moans and shouts here and there, perhaps…).
Happy birthday to you, Charles Mingus. RIP.
