I just listened to this for the first time, and was very impressed!

Globe Unity Orchestra - Globe Unity 2002 (1:14:05) Globe Unity Orchestra - 20th Anniversary (1:06:42) (I hope these two count!)

The new Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet - Walk, Love, Sleep

I'd recommend any Bergman with Brotzmann. Beside the above, there are the wonderful Blue Zoo, and Ride Into the Blue.

,,,, is still "stuckified" up top? Seems like it could go away by now, no?

Does he really "ram it, ram it, ram it up" her poop chute??

Akira Sakata Built To Spill Portland Bike Ensemble (bicycles are the only instruments)

Maggie Nicols Norma Winstone Jeanne Lee

I found Lumi to be good, but not great. The earlier Vesala, the better. I recommend "Nana"; "Satu"; "Twet" (under Stanko's name), "Hot Lotta" (with Brotzmann!!); etc. And those early Juhani Aaltonen albums with Vesala were real kickers!!

Really looking forward to this Mike Osborne Trio release in March, on Cadillac! (I cannot get the pdf link on the bottom of the thread to work, though): http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showpost.php?p=586174&postcount=3218

While I love Bob Wills to death, there's really no better homage/cover/whatever-you-call-it than the very excellent Pine Valley Cosmonauts salute to him. It's a 5-star gem of an album. http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/salute-majesty-bob-wills

Peter Brotzmann. and lately, lots of Japanese free jazz artists

Is listening to Bitter Funeral Beer, whilst hoisting a few beers!

It's no Yankees, but it's worth a listen once a year.

This one is great, too. Grab it!
