The 'Orgy In Rhythm' series

I ended my last post by praising the work of Bacoso at Orgy In Rhythm for his role creating a history of music(s) often 'forgotten' by the jazz mainstream. His two years of blogging an extraordinary range of jazz, latin and other musics were an inspiration to many of us to explore different listening and even to start our own blogs.

If you click the link above you'll see that he's simply had enough and 'run out of steam' on blogging. This was quite a surprise, the day after I'd blog-linked eight of his albums in my Deseö post!

But happily, Bacoso has given myself and Ish from ile oxumaré permission to re-post from his back catalogue, so that we can keep his wonderful collection of music - and his perceptive writing, and his sense of musical connections - alive online. We'll be doing this in an ongoing series of themed posts credited to Bacoso and "Orgy In Rhythm", so that people can continue to expand their musical knowledge and enjoyment. I'll be starting with some that relate to the histories in this blog, and also the ongoing cataloguing of the MPS and Strata-East labels.

And thanks, Bacoso, for both your incredible work and the privilege of allowing me to continue to bring it to others.

The comments section here is also a good place to thank Bacoso for his amazing two years of work on "Orgy In Rhythm".
