Patty Waters

Live

Blank Forms

The first recording in twenty years by this path-breaking vocalist — introduced to ESP by Albert Ayler — is a 2018 concert with Burton Greene (from her 1966 debut) and bassist Mario Pavone and percussionist Barry Altschul, from the group of musicians around Paul Bley.
‘Dedicated to Cecil Taylor, who had passed away moments before she took the stage, Live preserves the mournful tension that was in the air that night. Side A comprises a set of desolate ballads, including Waters’ own classic Moon, Don’t Come Up Tonight. Fifty years after her unforgettable recording of Black Is The Color Of My True Love’s Hair — one of the 20th century’s most harrowing, deeply political expressions of madness and grief — the B-side is a stark reminder that the fight for civil rights is far from over. Beginning with Strange Fruit, the suite’s form-bending contortions also feature Waters’ take on Ornette’s Lonely Woman.’

Sun City Girls

Live At The Sky Church — September 3, 2004

Twenty One Eighty Two

‘The first new Sun City Girls release since Funeral Mariachi ten years ago, Live at the Sky Church is a performance that melds their signature alien-jazz improv, Asian-tinged psychedelia, and Middle Eastern meditations together with their ranting psychodrama. An audio and visual recording from Seattle in 2004 shows a group that is both aware and committed to its history, while still demonstrating the power of the experimental to drive an enormous cudgel through the heart of those who believe they have all the answers.’
Includes DVD.
“LONG MAY THEY ISOLATE.”—John ‘Inzane’ Olson (American Tapes, Wolf Eyes, etc).

Myra Melford

Alive In The House Of Saints, Part 1

Hat Hut

A trio recording live in 1993, with Lindsay Horner on bass and Reggie Nicholson on drums, throwing down thrillingly engaging iterations of classic blues, jump and stride in the manner of contemporaries like Cecil Taylor and Horace Silver.
One of the great piano jazz albums. Hotly recommended.
