Things I’ve been checking out

As I’ve been focusing on writing recently, I’ve been checking out loads of different music. Two albums I’ve really enjoyed have been Anna Webber’s Clockwise and Max Roach’s Drums Unlimited. They’re from different times (the latter was released in 1966 while the former only came out a couple of months ago) but both have a challenging, avant-garde approach that I like.
