Mexican Power Authority were a bunch of Canadian guys from a mostly punk background in Victoria, BC who were influenced by John Zorn's Naked City era ('strang'). Been listening to them since 1994.
They had a demo called Salmon Mask Mc Tallica which recreates the Beefheart cover with a metalhead in a trucker hat holding a salmon in front of his face. M.P.A. covered Sun Ra, Parker, Coltrane etc.

Despite the popularity of Naked City this is the only band I know of which heavily sounded like them.

Like the rest of their records this can be gotten cheaply.
A double LP of M.P.A. early demos with over 100 songs can be gotten for about 10 Euro.

Vocalist Jason Flower is still on a longstanding mission to archive lots of diverse music from all over the world e.g. reissuing the first Inuit rock band's work.

I have a DLP comp of these guys from way back called Haiku, I think. They should have been right up my alley, but to be fair I felt they had neither the songs nor the chops to emulate their influences.

anyway, I came here to post that the Luaka Bop ‘Pharoah’ box set reissue is the most amazing reissue package I have ever seen.

Bought a few Miles Davis records at the weekend.

The only one I've listened to so far is On The Corner, which I've heard before and it was like a light going off in my head the first time I heard it. And it's still mind blowingly good.

I picked up that recent Pharoah Sanders boxset with the Pharoah LP and a second disc with a couple of versions of Harvest Time yesterday. Haven't got on to the second disc yet but spun the original LP a few times last night with a couple of nice strong bottles of fancy beer.
So good, usually wouldn't pay so much for what is essentially an album with a bonus disc but glad I did. Such a great album and package

It's an absolute doozy. The live versions are well worth a listen- of a standard with the studio recordings, completely different vibe to each

Seeing Julian Lage tonight, I've wanted to see him for years.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I didn't realize Terje Rypdal played keyboards. I like his guitar playing but most of the stuff I've heard him playing on didn't really grab me. But the keyboard playing on these ones is great, very minimal, reminds of Twin Peaks and Robert Wyatt. There are a couple of other keyboard players listed so I'm not sure what he's doing

Seeing Julian Lage tonight, I've wanted to see him for years.

I was at the first set. Didn’t know him at all and very much enjoyed it.
