This Sunday Music Muse Day finds us warming up a bit, 31º, but still with many of snow on the groud. First up is Ornette Coleman and Prome Time - Virgin Beauty. I have the vinyl record of this, but sold it. I still alway like the cover photo. The music is a mix of free jazz, which Ornette was well known for, and Black Rock movement in the New York jazz loft scene back the 1980s. with groups like James Blood Ulmer, Ronald Shannon Jackson, In Living Color, Defunkt, and Michael Gregory Jackson. It's best to approach it with a open mind.
Next up is Larry Coryell - Spaces Revisited. As the title implies it's a session the harken back to one of Coryell's classic album. I have to admit I this CD's music doesn't grab me. It's hard to match the original Spaces recording lineup.
So, as we still endure our winter of chaos, try to find moment to step away from the noise and enjoy some music. Peace,
