Mouthful

Albert Ayler Quintet – Spirits Rejoice ESP Disk, 1965 Should my “favorite albums of all times” list ever exist, this album will be on it. The method employed speaks to me dearly - these monsters of jazz bring, of course, their mastery of learned jazz but with such willingness to seriously play around with the performance. It’s a live album, recorded with no audience but live nonetheless. There are prearranged sections (or maybe the whole thing is prearranged) and pre-written (catchy!) melodies played clear as day. But there is an incredibly loose and unconventional rolling out of sentences. Each player is defiantly individualistic and it’s all celebrated. It’s on the edge. I don’t mean the edge of control, but the edge of fear and love. (C) Emily Robb

Harold Budd – The Pavilion Of Dreams Obscure, 1978 #albumweek This is one of those albums that gently takes my hand and brings me through a door to someplace I’ve absolutely never been and when inside, I wonder new things about life and the human experience. The second and third songs have a lone voice so wise, so expressive and observant all at the same time. A beautiful record - it’s magical without the cuteness that word tends to conjure these days. (C) Emily Robb

Mirrors – Something That Would Never Do Violet Times, 2009 #albumweek A compilation of stupendous songs by this once overlooked Cleveland band. Every song on the album is a hit. Not to take away from their inventiveness - you’ll find no rampaging with droning noises or studio experimentation testing the audience’s patience - these songs have verses, choruses, bridges, hooks, melodies, harmonies and lyrics. Whilst I grapple with my feelings about the validity (or lack thereof) of the rock “song” in today’s world, I can’t get enough of these 50 year old songs. (C) Emily Robb
