Townes Van Zandt

Great album from Poppy about Townes Van Zandt (wiki). I got this 'High, Low and In Between' (PYS-5700) few days ago and now is continuously on my turntable.


"Musically, Van Zandt was the place where country, blues, folk and gospel hung out together. While some songs, like 'Two Hands' and 'When He Offers His Hand' on High, Low And In Betweenare straight-ahead gospel, his most memorable tracks are the ones which defy any specific classification. 'You Are Not Needed Now' and 'To Live Is to Fly', from High, Low and in Between and 'Sad Cinderella' and 'Don’t Let The Sunshine Fool You', from The Last Great Townes resonate with a sound and a quality distinct to Van Zandt."

Other Lp that require attention are:
- The Late Great Townes Van Zandt (1972) Poppy PP-LA004-F
- Live At The Old Quarter (1977) Tomato TOM-2-7001

Another great work by Don Cherry

I have to admit Don Cherry is my favorite artist at the time. I found this Lp some weeks ago in a 'street market' of my city for few money. When i inserted this on my turntable i said... WOW !! 
In this work (ECM 1230) with Ed Blackwell on drums DC continues the exploration outside the borders of jazz. Avant-garde here is obvious. DC uses simple melodies that blend perfectly with the drums of EB which gives the work a very special soul.
... and then we have a superb recording !!
I highly recommend this beautiful disc
