Old, New, Borrowed and Jazz
A few months ago, my friend STEPHEN BUONO lent me a whole bunch of CDs. Most of it is jazz, some ‘60s and ‘70s and other, more recent artists like JOHN ZORN, BILL FRISELL and other stalwarts of the old Knitting Factory/Tonic Lower East Side scene of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Naturally, I’ve been listening to a lot of it lately. Here are 10 of my favorites of these discs.
Larry Young – Into Somethin’ (Blue Note)
Petra Haden and Bill Frisell – Petra Haden and Bill Frisell (True North)
Eric Dolphy – Out to Lunch (Blue Note)
Various Artists – Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Mingus (Columbia)
Miles Davis – Panthalassa: The Music of Miles Davis (Columbia)
Petra Haden – Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out (Bar/None)
Max Roach – Freedom Now! Suite (Candid)
Archie Shepp – Attica Blues (Implulse!)
John Zorn – Filmworks Anthology: 1986 to 2005 (Tzadik)
Charles Mingus – Mingus at Antibes (Atlantic)
