![]() This recording is a fine document of its time, capturing its naivete, sense of adventure, and its willingness to step outside the jazz and vanguard box while never giving in to pop convention. Stream songs including 'Makin Magic', 'Tiny Concrete Block' and more. The finest moment here is the funky 'Raindrops, Raindrops' written by Kuhn, where his electric piano and double-time bass and drums fall in just behind Krog's shimmering, airy performance. Listen to Brownswood Electric 3 by Various Artists on Apple Music. The co-write between Carla Bley and Krog on 'Sing Me Softly of the Blues,' finds the band back on its square, swinging the blues in cool nocturnal fashion with Christensen's swinging cymbal work carries the band underneath the singer's husky contralto. While Mitchell's own version is far looser and spacier than this, the band seems to have misunderstood her original intent in this song. The seemingly rocked-up cover of Joni Mitchell's 'All I Want' feels out of place here, the band feels stilted into trying to rein themselves into the conventional cut-time signature and fixed spaces where fills are almost unwelcome. ![]()
