My favourite major label-backed 80s jazz artist? Hands down, it would be #ArthurBlythe. He wove a huge, breathtaking sound on #LennonAvenueBreakdown, drawing from trad swing, bebop, r&b, AfroCuban jazz, free jazz and beyond. “Odessa” is my pick of the bunch, what with its mysterious Eastern European motif and amazing #JamesBloodUlmer solo. But the whole album and his later Blythe Spirit and Illusions LPs are beautiful, inspired works that still stand tall.

Now spinning at my house, intense beauty that has sustained me for years:

#Odyssey by #JamesBloodUlmer from 1983...a trio of Ulmer (guitar, vocals), Warren Benbow (drums), Charles Burnham (electric violin) playing a song cycle of jazz, rock, blues, country, mesmerizing drones

Now spinning, in honor of his 83rd birthday yesterday:

America—Do You Remember The Love? by #JamesBloodUlmer, the visionary harmolodic jazz blues guitarist...this LP is a soulful six-song set recorded with Bill Laswell on bass & Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums. HBD, JBU!---mrb
