Excellent choice, one of my favorites as well. :AOK:

Excellent choice, one of my favorites as well. :AOK:

it was a fitting farewell to one of the most unique guitar players of all time. it's straight enough jazz to appeal to those who might not be into some of sonny's more outside work, but still outside enough to appeal to fans of sonny and pharoah, both of whom do some of their finest playing on it.

Thanks to Tig for mentioning this band in another thread. :AOK: :master:

Just got this album today, and it completely kicks a$$.

I don't know if it will knock Sacrifist out of first place for my pick for heaviest album, but it is certainly up there. :dude:

tung

this is the thermals' masterpiece.

i love their previous two albums, and i love the most recent, but this one, this one is stellar from top to bottom and gets better every time i listen to it.

O'o
2009, tzadik records

this is the latest offering from zorn's "dreamers" band, responsible for the gift (2001) and the dreamers (2008). the dreamers are an all-star band if ever there was one, comprised of some of the greatest players in new york's "downtown" scene. these albums are easily among zorn's most accessible work. further review coming.

the band:

marc ribot: guitar
joey baron: drums
kenny wolleson: vibraphone
cyro baptista: percussion
trevor dunn: bass
jamie saft: piano/organ

Band that played middle support for us for a couple months ago, the Swaggerin' Growlers from Boston. Hope to play with them again if they swing back through in the Fall.

Listening to "Sun is Coming," by Matt Wilson (a solo track from the front man of long-defunct Minneapolis band "Trip Shakespeare.") It's got a very cool acoustic guitar riff that I'm digging.
