jazzy_daveContinuing with a selection of nos. 13 to 50 of the best of the year.
Matana Roberts - As Far As The Eye Can See
Jamie Branch Fly Or Die - Prayer for amerikkka Pt. 1 & 2
Solange - Down With the Clique
From the new album "When I Get Home"
Damon Locks Black Monument Ensemble - The Colors That You Bring
Where Future Unfolds’ is a new work spirited by Chicago-based sound & visual artist Damon Locks.
Starting as a solo sound collage piece (where Locks pulled samples from Civil Rights era speeches and recordings to create an improvisational pallet for performance on his drum machine), over 4 years the project has blossomed into his 15-piece Black Monument Ensemble featuring musicians (including Angel Bat Dawid on clarinets and Dana Hall on drums), singers (alumni of the Chicago Children's Choir), and dancers (members of Chicago youth dance company Move Me Soul).
‘Where Future Unfolds’ is a live capture of the ensemble's epic debut at the Gar eld Park Botanical Conservatory on the West Side of Chicago. Recalling the spirits of Phil Cohran's Artistic Heritage Ensemble, Eddie Gale's Black Rhythm Happening, Archie Shepp's Attica Blues, and Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, the album presents an inspired, innovative & immediate intersection of gospel, jazz, activism & 808 breaks. ‘The Colors That You Bring’ is the first song taken from the album.
King Midas Sound - You Disappear
FKA Twigs - Mary Magdelene
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Leviathan
Enjoy.
