jazzy_daveTime for some music that has been Wired.
Pauline Anna Strom - Freedom at the 45th Floor
From the compilation"Trans-Millenia Music"
Monty Adkins - Remnant
Rafael Toral - Mixed States Uncoded
El Choop - Henge Dub
Errorsmith – Superlative Fatigue
John T. Gast - Jah Guidance
Irreversible Entanglements - Enough
Album: Irreversible Entanglements (2017)
Label : International Anthem (Chicago, Illinois)
Irreversible Entanglements are a liberation-oriented free jazz collective formed in early 2015 by saxophonist Keir Neuringer, poet Camae Ayewa (a.k.a. Moor Mother) and bassist Luke Stewart, who came together to perform at a Musicians Against Police Brutality event organized after the slaying of Akai Gurley by the NYPD. Months later the group added trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and drummer Tcheser Holmes (a duo who also performed at the MAPB event) for a single day of recording at Seizure’s Palace in Brooklyn, and the full quintet’s first time playing together was captured for this debut. In four relentless bouts of inspired fire music the instrumentalists explore and elaborate compositional ideas drawn from their deep individual studies of free jazz improvisation, but the tone of each piece is driven decisively by Ayewa’s searing poetic narrations of Black trauma, survival and power. The message is the undeniable essence of the music. Though free jazz with voice is an uncommon approach in the modern day landscape of the genre, the spirit and subject the band channels and explores represent a return to a central tenant of the sound as it was founded – to be a vehicle for Black liberation. As creative and adventurous as any recording of contemporary avant-garde jazz but offering listeners no abstractions to hide behind, this is music that both honours and defies tradition, speaking to the present while insisting on the future.
