Float like a butterfly, abrade like sandpaper. Thus, the curious and fascinating dichotomy between band and bandleader on this, Marion Brown’s second album for ESP-Disk as a leader. Originally released 42 years ago in ‘68, the crucial beauty resides with drummer Rashied Ali, who played with John Coltrane from ‘65 until Coltrane’s death in ‘67. One of the first drummers to disregard timekeeping and turn the drum kit into a palette equal with a horn or a keyboard, Ali took a mighty intuitive leap. He jumped into the air and took wing.
Working breath-by-breath above Ali, pianist Stanley Cowell and bassist Norris “Sirone” Jones swap in and out as each other’s shadows with the enthusiasm of schoolchildren. Sirone gets busy, Cowell rushes on his heels. Cowell cools off, Sirone winds down to elegant and spare plunking. They could stand better recording levels (ESP-Disk sessions often started and finished on the cheap) but give the CD repeated spins, as you should, and you’ll plunk yourself down in the picture.

Charles
Barnacled | ESP Disk (2009)
The angelic white goat on the cover of Charles gives no hint as to what might lie inside. Neither does the photo of the band—five men and two women wearing orange jumpsuits and standing in a somber line. Yet Charles is a musical treat: it contains eight songs recorded live by Barnacled, a band from Providence, Rhode Island, that blends electronic and acoustic music into a bold, one-of-a-kind tapestry.
The band’s unique sound derives in part from its unusual instrumentation. There are conventional instruments such as alto and baritone sax, bassoon, keyboard, and drums, but there is also an accordion, electronics, a shortwave radio, and (why not?) a modified Speak & Spell.

New York City lost one of its local bohemian heroes on July 12th. Poet, songwriter, singer and radical Tuli Kupferberg died at age 86. Throughout his long life he pushed and prodded at society and politics with his work. With The Fugs, a band he co-founded in 1964, Kupferberg specialized in breaking taboos through tuneful, energetic songs, but he also brought a lyrical, poetic sensibility to the group. Host David Garland presents some funny, provocative work by this indelible, quintessential New Yorker.

Sounds from the archive of the future, sonic drilling into the past, dissonant rumbling, lyrical melodies, noises (human, animal, mechanical, digital) inscrutable yet honest, desultory but consistent.
