John Coltrane's week at the Village Vanguard in 1961 resulted in a total of 22 recorded versions of nine songs, all of which have been released in the four-CD box The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings. This 1998 single CD has the five performances that the great saxophonist had agreed to have released during his lifetime: three numbers from the original Live at the Village Vanguard LP ("Spiritual," "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," and "Chasin' the Trane") and two songs that appeared on Impressions (the title cut and "India"). Although branded as "anti-jazz" by John S. Wilson (an attack that was seconded by Leonard Feather), the music is actually quite coherent and would even be thought of as moderately conservative today, particularly "Spiritual" and the boppish rendition of "Softly"…

Stephen O’Malley plucks out this elemental, spellbinding Raga session performed by dhrupad master Zia Mohiuddin Dagar recorded in Seattle, 1986, for his exquisite Ideologic Organ label. It’s deeply precious music, thousands of years in development, and it’s not hard it hear its influence over O’Malley’s other projects, from the pace and hypnotism of Sunn 0))) to the more sprawling psychedelic coordinates of Æthenor. Just sublime.

Sky High - Stone & Gravel (2015) Music

Posted by popsakov at June 9, 2020

Excellent new studio disc by this killer blues/rock power trio from Sweden featuring the legendary Clas Yngstrom on guitar & vocals. Includes 12 tracks of bad-ass, retro-fied, blues-based, heavy guitar riffage that rocks the blues hard at the Sky High jam:house. Mr. Yngstrom gets down n' dirty, rippin' up his Strat with ass-kickin', powerful Hendrix-inspired six string mojo that represents & exemplifies his long-standing Swedish Guitar Hero status. As an added bonus, an awesome unreleased vintage ZZ Top song called "One Step Back" written by Billy Gibbons lands on this way-kool rocker. The Sky High - "Stone & Gravel" disc is highly recommended to serious blues/rock guitar freaks worldwide who dig rockin' hard with the blues.
