Just Jazz!

Juini Booth was cool. The venue was previously unknown to me...turned out to be a sort of combo rehearsal room/after-hours party spot. The air foggy with spliff smoke.

Juini's solo set was totally unexpected... he played along to some chill-out tracks he had on his phone, which didn't knock me over. (Though is relatively with-it for a 70-year-old dude!)

A friend of mine got to lend his bass to Juini and had a lesson with him, so the bass gets a mojo boost from that for sure. A group he's in played and they were amazing.

Then Juini played in a trio with sax + drums and it was very tasty. They played a fairly long set, about an hour. Did a bunch of Sun Ra, and some other pieces I recognized but can't immediately name.

Mark Hundevad (who played drums in the trio set + vibes in the middle set) apparently had brought Juini to town in 1993 and they made an album back then, released on cassette only (and not online at all, sadly).

i was recording audio all night... I backed it up, but haven't really checked out what I have yet.

Here's a brand-new album from some of my local weird jazz peeps:

The Titillators

Standards played in a fairly non-standard fashion: two synths, street sweeper bristle bass, whistling, and a picnic blanket of misc. percussion toys + tools (no drums or cymbals).

When they do it live it's a bit like a Raymond Scott acid trip; they've kept it (slightly) more restrained on this recording.

whistling

Yeah, listening to this now. The whistling reminds me of Roland Kirk. Good stuff.

(Always dig some Hermeto too!)

Belated RIP to Max Bennett, who died in September. Dude lived to be 90, working pretty much til the end; did thousands of sessions: jazz, fusion, Wrecking Crew jawn; a bassist's bass playa...(yeah, yeah, I'm slow on the uptake)....
