The Silence – Metaphysical Feedback Read More »
While this live broadcast was originally selected & sequenced spontaneously, it retrospectively appeared to move through some interesting movements. The introductory set of ambient pop & minimalist folk is followed by a long stretch of Japanese Psychedelia from four different decades. During the second hour we venture through jazz fission, abstract rap, and microtonal psych before closing the show with a trio of ethereal folk meditations.

Recorded in Tokyo with regular collaborators Gary Peacock and Benny Maupin, plus amazing local pianist Hideo Ichikawa, “Have You Heard?” is an interesting & exploratory record from master drummer Jack DeJohnette. Two shorter cuts of nocturnal modal-jazz bookend a pair of longer, abstract pieces that recall the “modern creative” improvisations coming out of Chicago.
Recommended for fans of Miles Davis’ Nefertiti as well as the works of Art Ensemble of Chicago
