Serious music today

Shostakovich - 1st/2nd piano concertos (Michael Houstoun/NZ Symphony)

James Blood Ulmer and George Adams - Phalanx (reasonably free jazz, very toppy 80s vinyl...)

Jamaaladeen Tacuma/Derek Bailey/Calvin Weston - Mirakle (very free and funky jazz; bass and drum solos throughout with Bailey's "interesting" tuning and sound - you wouldn't believe someone capable of such a crazy racket would be over 70!)
