There are many impressive creative accomplishments in this series on artists making first rate albums over 40. But no one will ever match what Cecil Taylor did in 1989,at age 59: put out 11 incredible albums recorded the year before. Now granted, they are all live sets from a one month long festival recorded in…

Top 40 Over 40.27: No Protection
Remixes usually disappoint me. I often imagine it’s because they’re run off quickly without the remixer having an in person musical relationship with the artist they’re remixing. I didn’t really dig either the UNKLE or Dust Brothers remixes that were done of Folk Implosion’s Natural One & Insinuation. When One Part Lullaby came out in…
