We used to see Isaac live many times, he was an amazing player and such a nice man. The day he died was the day the music died for me. I have friends who spent countless hours learning his songs and played them well only to notice, the next time Isaac played them, he had changed everything. Talk about a moving target :joy: RIP Isaac Guillory

“Sacrum Profanum” represents a new beginning for Polish violinist Adam BaƂdych – but also a look back into his past. He was once a sixteen-year-old firebrand who set out to conquer the jazz world. And when his ACT debut album “Imaginary Room” came out in 2011, he was hailed by the respected German broadsheet the FAZ as having “the finest technique among all living violinists in jazz”. The audacity of BaƂdych’s lines was so breathtaking, he could almost have been playing a wind instrument; his multi-voiced motifs were more like chord-playing by pianists, and over and above these aspects was the ever-present desire to experiment and to transcend genre boundaries.

I would actually suggest that to be one of his least approachable albums - especially if you are just dipping your toe. Depending on your tastes, perhaps Passion and Warfare or Alien Love Secrets may be more suitable. I could never guarantee these will be liked any better, and even as a fan there are some tracks that I just don’t care to listen to and sound more like experiments than a finished product. On the other hand
 he did play with Zappa so how smooth should it be?
Happy Listening!

Oh, iToons! Haven’t seen that sight for a while. Still my baseline of course.
