Blut Aus Nord - 777 Cosmosophy

 

[Ojai Sam]

Moondog- Moondog (1956)

This one is so far out it makes Sun Ra look mainstream. Moondog aka Louis Hardin aka The Viking of 6th Avenue was a blind mathematician from Germany who blended modal compositions with sound effects and odd percussion. I love it, but then I'm a bit eccentric.

Myriad3 ~ Moons (2016)



https://www.allaboutjazz.com/moons-myriad3-alma-records-review-by-dan-mcclenaghan.php

Surprisingly good piano Jazz trio, from Canada, eh.

Someone's always trying to take a tried and true format out on a new tangent. Consider the piano trio: Bill Evans introduced deep, classically-influenced harmonics and a democracy of instrumental input in the late fifties and early sixties. The Esbjorn Svennson Trio (e.s.t.) brought in classical, rock, pop and techno elements; The Bad Plus plays with avant-garde jazz and pop/rock influences, and they can be loud. Even the tried and true changes. It's all good; and some of it is great.

Myriad3, a forward-leaning piano trio out of Toronto, Canada, has released their fourth CD, Moons, taking the piano trio format on a modernistic tangent of their own. It's three stellar musicians—all of them superior tune smith's [sic] —who take on the form with an equilibrium of input, an energetic verve and intelligence, some catchy grooves and strong compositions, straight through.

Oval ~Systemisch (1994)



I blame Nicky for this being the album about which he never told me, or I credit him for this being the one about which he did tell me, but that I forgot until now. Either way, thanks.

Glitch. Ambient.
