Last week I watched review of the 'Wall of Eyes' LP - recent release by the 'Smile' (former Radiohead), and found out a new name which I'd love to share with you: Sons of Kemet. Thats a contemporary jazz; two other tracks I've included in my selection are also jazz, but not contemporary ones - oldie goldies from 60-es.
Sons of Kemet - Hustle
UK-based quartet at their most dynamic – showcasing harmonically elegant arrangements and compositions, coupled with fierce, driving material. Lyrics are pure fire and the entire musical production warms the soul. Dancers duo - The Jaiy - present some impressive symbolic struggle and engagement of black and white, beautiful plastic of the body language; it adds to the song a lot. All in all - remarkable piece of art!
Here is a live version of it, if you are curious how this may sound live; performed in the studio, Kojey Radical did not join the band, so it turned out an instrumental, without lyrics. Sounds like a cool jazz!
Charles Mingus - Freedom
Sun Ra - Rocket Number Nine
Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestar was such a crazy and curious project, that I cant pretend to fit even a brief description into a few lines. It belongs to the era of space jazz... and was a big extravaganza. Also, the discography with all releases and reissues and versions is so complicated... and elongated. Hard to choose most important and remarkable tracks to present. Just dive... and explore, if you'd fall in love with his crazy sound.
I hope you enjoyed today's music selection, though it is pretty much avangarde. No lipstick pop tunes today, ahaha! 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by @ablaze.
