    Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius :-D
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Jon Hassell - Maarifa Street: Magic Realism, Vol 2
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Max Roach - Percussion Bitter Sweet

    Somewhere between hard bop, free jazz and something Roach dreamt up with a choir thrown in, this is one of those albums that always sounds fresh and interesting.

    Courting the Squall - Guy Garvey
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I'd never heard of him, so I looked on Tidal. Very little, but liked Angela's Eyes.
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    It's his first solo album away from Elbow. I likes him :-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Pardon my ignorance! Never really liked Elbow, which is probably why.

    Please recommend some Elbow, so that I may change my mind ;-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Raoul Bjorkenheim, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten and Paal Nilsson-Love - Scorch Trio

    "Pardon my ignorance! Never really liked Elbow, which is probably why."

    Ah, Dave, he is ubiquitous on Radio 6. No escaping the b*gger !

    "Please recommend some Elbow, so that I may change my mind "

    well, I pride myself on not being a proslytiser. But my Wharfdales recommend...

    Thanks Suzy.

    All you need to do to embed is to take the simple link (the version with no code) from Embed on YouTube and paste it here.

    Ray Charles at Newport
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian - Hamburg '72

    I must admit I was disappointed with this to begin with - probably too high expectations, probably - but it is growing on me.

    Kieran Hebden, Steve Reid and Mats Gustafsson - Live at the South Bank

    Neither as out or as groovy as the lineup may suggest.
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    Justin put me onto this one: Ben Howard, Every Kingdom.
    his lyrics appeal to my sentimental side (yes, I do have one!). Though his vocal style not so much. Enjoying the compositions though :-) 
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Bobo Stenson Trio - Serenity
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Sigur Ros - ()
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness/Lords of Lords

    HEAVY hippy shit, man :-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Sex Mob - Live in New York 2003
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    Escapades - Dreadzone. Doesnt have the same narrative cohesion of my faves.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Cecil Taylor Feel Trio - 2Ts for a Lovely T 

    Not all seven hours of it, though.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Back Door - Back Door

    Always reminds me of being a student in Leicester. A mate bought this and played it to death.

    @suzy6toes Finally had a listen to the Elbow you selected for me.

    Loved the first one. The second didn't do much. And the third was OK.

    Maybe the first was the only ugly one :-D

    Thank you. I'll have a poke around in Tidal to see whether there's more like the first to be had.
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    You're a busy boy this evening, Mr U.M.!
    Glad you found something sufficiently ugly in my offerings. A bit of distortion can go a long way!
    And thanks to you / whoever for sorting my links out for me :-)

    Here it's Dido and Aeneas. My sole nod to opera I think. I'm a philistine (is that racist?)

  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Always a busy boy, me!

    Distortion is a good thing ;-)

    I did the links. Just to make it easier to see the vids, if I am to be honest 
    :-\"

    I'm a bit like that with the hoperas, too. Mine is Peter Grimes.
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    having said that...my system doing fine, fine justice to Hydrogen Jukebox (Glass/Ginsberg) this evening 
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    That, I don't know. But I feel I should. Howl is one of the only books of poetry I own.
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    "one of the only books of poetry..."
    Gosh,people own more than one book of poetry ?? 
    @-)


  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    Hydrogen Jukebox is fairly ugly, so might be your bag!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Not much more than one book of poetry...

    I imagine it is pretty ugly, given the composer and the subject matter.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    James Blake - James Blake
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air
  • Suzy6toesSuzy6toes
    Hm, Terry Riley ... strangely compulsive listening as it turns out  8-X
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    I love it. It's one of those 'Oh, here's a whole new genre, fully formed' recordings.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Keith Jarrett - The Survivor's Suite

    One of my favourite albums. By one of my favourite jazz groups. Led by my favourite pianist. Just sooooo good in so many ways.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Paul Bley, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian - Not Two, Not One
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid


    @suzy6toes I think I like it when they loosen up a bit, but don't like it when they've been listening to Coldplay.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Ikue Mori, Robert Quine and Marc Ribot - Painted Desert

    William Parker Trio - Painter's Spring
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Oliver Mtukudzi - Vhunze Moto
