James Blood Ulmer - Tales of Captain Black

Clearly a lady of fine taste. That title track has been a firm favourite since I first heard it one of the Jazz Mod's swap cds.

Virginia Genta & Chris Corsano's live recording on a roof top in Lisbon is pretty much what you'd expect of those two and then some. Even the birds join in. Possibly my favourite by either of them and I love them both.

Here's a snippet:

Or for more full on wall of noise with Ms Genta I rate both Jooklo Finnish Quartet lps. The second one maybe edges it, a touch more matured and there are some killer tracks. Unfortunately only my least favourite is up on youtube.

If those don't bother her, you are set!

She has great taste.

Bit obvious maybe, but how about Coltrane's Olatunji Concert

Bunnets aloft... anything Jooklo based (there are a number of incantations) will do the trick...

high fives on this one ;-)

I'd pop for Aboriginal Music Society "Father Of Origin" http://eremite.com/album/mte-54-55-56 - no tube clip, but some samples over here...

Failing that Peter Brotzmann "machine gun" - might be a bit mellow for the better half ;-)

What about Noah Howard's Black Ark which was reissued by Bo Weavil a few years back and is, therefore, not expensive. This starts as it means to go on and no mistake.

[alanmck]

this has everything: sometimes mellow and melodic, sometimes furiously free.

It's got Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Gary Peacock and Sonny Murray.

And if you track down the UK pressing, it's all housed in one of my favourite sleeves of all time...

Good shout, must dig that out a give it a whirl. And on the Bo Weavil tip the Alan Wilkinson, Steve Noble and John Edwards side "Obliquity" is bound to sort out Mrs Expiry's jazz cravings

And whilst we are at it, the Death Shanties "Crabs" lp is fantastic - again, like the James Blood Ulmer, concise and to the point, no 40 minute one track meandering over a stoned drone:

-!

that was great. Virginia Genta´s wife must be going up the wall!

Grounds for divorce this one in our house:

There is, of course, the recent John Coltrane 'Offering....' LP. Not really wife bothering but depends on the household- could be a 4 in some while being an easy 7 in others. Why the vinyl has to be £50 I haven't a bloody clue. CD for me I'm afraid.

[Tsundoku]

The phrase "wife-bothering" makes me cringe, it sounds like something from Les Dawson in the 70s - oooh, don't let 'Er indoors here that! - but regardless, I saw this guy live at few weeks ago:

He was absolutely incredible. All live, no overdubs, wielded the sax like a weapon of war. Will be picking up his new album.
