| TNT Tortoise - TNT - 1998 - Thrill Jockey |
| Mothers and Daughters Now Mothers Chris Bowden - Time Capsule - 1996 - Soul Jazz |
| Eternal Nocturne The Eternals - Where Do We Live Now? [12"] - 1999 - Thrill Jockey |
| Three piece Chicago band sees Damon Locks and Wayne Montana (of Trenchmouth) round out the lineup with drummer Tim Mulvenna (Ken Vandermark's Sound In Action Trio) for some dub-like space tripy vibes. Early release with this 12" sees them finding their sound and continuing to work with it. |
| Turkish Bath Don Ellis Orchestra - Electric Bath - 1967 - Columbia |
| As the liner notes note, "A Now sound that is the most exhilarating trip toward the 2060s anybody's ears have ever taken." At times straight-ish forward and at times not. Musical trickery, notable instrumentation and thick arrangements come together for a classy listen. Dare I say the selected track even shares a similar approach to the Gil Evans Orchestra when they play the music of Hendrix. |
| La Gitana Mongo Santamaria - El Pussy Cat - 1965 - Columbia |
| The Price You Got To Pay To Be Free Les McCann - Live at Montreux - 1973 - Atlantic |
