Stir Crazy Episodes 1-15
by Tom Rainey + Ingrid Laubrock
supported by 10 fans who also own “Primo”
the artists seem to downplay their achievement as something they just tossed together in the living room during pandemic lock down. Yet, it is a highly original take on the classic drums/sax duo. A huge range of musical ground is covered, and emotional content. A great album in any context, I listen to it often.

ILL CONSIDERED 8
by Ill Considered
supported by 10 fans who also own “Primo”
Energetic live album by this London based quartet. This clearly is jazz (or postjazz as they chose to label it), but with a groovy raw power that's rarely found in your usual jazz band. The band members bring a rich background into the fold which is reflected int he music, and of course, adds to the appeal.
