I recently scored these from Work Money Death on the ATA label. Meditative Sanders kind of vibe.

Paul Motian - The Story of Maryam

Hopefully this isn’t blocked where you live. Paul Motian is my favorite musician ever, and this is one of the highlights in his amazing career. Pretty much a perfect recording.

So good indeed, have you seen this documentary?

My favourite would be Psalm, unfortunately not on YT

Yep, seen it a few times. I miss Paul, he was a cool guy. Glad to have seen him play live many times.

And some top stuff from Willis Jackson.

But don’t just take my word for it:

A selection of original reviews:

“Lush strings and woodwind with a powerful combination of dub beats and classical orchestration. True future music.” The Face

“A divine soundtrack that Miles Davis would rise from his grave for. Heaven-sent laid back lusciousness.” Muzik

“Reminiscent of Miles Davis, Stravinsky and Star trek. Drop dead gorgeous.” True

“A beautiful and mysterious record.” Mixmag

“Out on the left field, past the edge of the solar system, music exploring new territory, forging new alliances with outer space and the future.” DJ

“A vibrant filmic quality. Bowden is out on his own. Essential.” Straight No Chaser

“True futurism: Satie, Webern and attitude creating a serious listening experience.” Echoes

“An ambitious and adventurous excursion. A deep, complex and ever-changing piece that makes the competition look half-baked.” Observer

“Sounding like a Michael Nyman tune that took a wrong turn and bumped into a Miles Davis record.” (Album of the week) The Guardian

“Supreme” NME

“Astro-jazz, luxurious strings and psycho-acoustic electronica. A journey to the centre of the head” ID

Jaubi - A Sound Heart (such pure and individual virtuosity from each band member)

Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger - Gospel Trane (never has a double bass and harp duo sounded so damn good)

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble - Pharoah (everything Kahil El’Zabar is involved in is magic but I love this dedication to one of the greats)
