Before The Code

Ken Vandermark is one of my 'big five' and this new(ish) project (four albums now) is already shaping up to become somewhat definitive. I try not to use superlatives to describe music I find it necessary to your well-being to listen to but sometimes you have to admit it's the only way to go: a brilliant diamond in the dust. It's akin to igniting rocket fuel... the momentum is unstoppable and it engenders the aural equivalent of arc-light.

Prompted Assent
by Cubby Phillips
A riveting record of free jazz from this Brooklyn musician that pairs tangles of guitar with sax and drums.

Good Days
by Chicago Underground Quartet
supported by 28 fans who also own “Shocklee / Broken Numbers”
So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start.
