Anthony Braxton / Richard Teitelbaum ‎– Open Aspects '82

Anthony Braxton / Richard Teitelbaum ‎– Open Aspects '82
A thoroughly enjoyable outing from two master improvisers. A sumptuous collection of sonorities that scumble the timbre of the horn with the wallop of the synthesizer. Even after two LP's worth, I wish there were more.

James Blood Ulmer ‎– Free Lancing

The highest of Harmolodic High Priests, Blood Ulmer mines the frantic funk of 70’s Ornette Coleman—a tune like Night Lover could have fallen out of Ornette’s gig bag at the session for Captain Black—but works his own soul/blues vein good and hard until all that sifts through is pure Blood.
