Ended the long weekend and welcomed the week with Young at Heart/Wise in Time an album by pianist/composer Muhal Richard Abrams released by the Delmark label in 1970 that featured an LP side-length solo piano composition and Abrams accompanied by Leo Smith, Henry Threadgill, Lester Lashley and Thurman Barker on the other side.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow calls the album "Fascinating music, it is recommended strictly for the open-eared listener who does not demand that all jazz swing conventionally".[5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Young/Wise combines the definitive Abrams solo performance of the period with a group of tracks of burning intensity".[3] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said it has "a long example of Abram's reflective piano and a tighter group performance by an excellent AACM quintet" - Wikipedia

Copertine belle: Sylvie Courvoisier & Wadada Leo Smith – Angel Falls [Intakt, 2025]

Cover and Booklet Art: Sophie Bouvier Ausländer.

Il disco è una specie di botta e risposta tra il piano di Courvoisier e la tromba di Smith. Mi rendo conto che detta così non è una cosa molto attraente, ma me sta piacendo (contro tutte le previsioni, tra l’altro). Su bandcamp c’è solo il primo pezzo, sul tubo nulla, ma sono sicuro che da qualche parte lo troverete.
