Cool to hear this one again. I hadn't realised it was his debut recording as a leader. I had assumed he'd diverged into the funky stuff after the Muse records, Moontrane, Little Red etc. TIL.

Man, they have live recordings that sound pretty much identical. There's nothing pre-sequenced there.

It's neither jazz nor prog.

It's one of the things that jazz has become. "The sound of surprise" if you will. I like to think of it as "jazz musicians playing x." So they've taken a sound palette from synth heavy prog, little bit of early Genesis, that sort of thing, and played it with a jazz state of mind, jazz harmonies. There's only a small amount of melodic improvisation, which is kinda like prog-less rock in quantity, but very jazzy in style.

The singular of bananae is bananum.

For more prog-rock flavoured jazz, check out Vels Trio.

This makes me imagine a sci-fi scenario where it's possible to add the ability to control additional bodies to a persons brain, probably using some kind of radio-like remote control network, but only when they are young enough to have a high enough brain plasticity. After a certain age, you lose the window of opportunity to add additional bodies to your brain.

Hmm, now I kinda want to read Ancilliary Justice again.
