  1. Really, I wasn't aware. Thank you. Do you know the label? I can't find any reference online.
  2. On that evidence, a fine pianist. A recording would be great
  3. Tyshawn Sorey, piano solo. At Oto, packed to the rafters. Played in the dark, 50 minute improvisation and then 15 minute encore. Extraordinary
  4. I know George but just not listened closely. I'll check this out. That sounds like a hell of a week. Hope it calms down for everyone concerned soon.
  5. Great cover, don't know the album. Hope the virus and attendant hospital visits have subsided
  6. Charles Lloyd Ocean trio at the Barbican last night. Some beautiful playing from all three. Cleverly paced with Clayton and Sewell doing some heavy lifting to give Lloyd plenty of rest. He looked notably less mobile than 4 years ago but when he played he played at length and strongly.
  7. 'Medina' is the big one for me. I've stopped buying TPs of titles I already own as long as the originals play well
  8. That's the evening gig. He is also doing a piano solo at 4pm I bet. Diehl is a new name to me
  9. Got this yesterday, I'm very impressed Sorey's playing a piano solo gig tomorrow which I hope to get to
  10. I listened to some this morning and liked it. Agree, it's not Jazz but does have Carlos Niño, Nate Mercereau and Surya Botofasina, all of whom I enjoy, playing on it so fits very easily into that west coast scene And it's already generated some real Jazz flute posts on X
  11. Yes, recently. They seem to give a fair enough price and are very pleasant to deal with. Otherwise I go to Flashback who seem to take most anything Jazz. I'm building up to my third clear out of the year. If I continue to buy it becomes the only option
  12. I do still have my 2112 LP somewhere, just couldn't sell it. Genesis also featured for me but not as prominently
  13. Taborn solo is one of the most concentratedly intense gigs I've seen. It must be nearly ten years ago and it still gives me shivers. He's in London soon so may have to repeat the experience
  14. Call the nice men from Atlantis Records, they always help me in this situation
  15. Enjoy. I loved Rush in the mid to late 70s, not sure enough to read a bio though. From the Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/nov/16/rush-geddy-lee-reader-interview
  16. I chose the wrong day not to go to Kings X! I haven't seen any promotion of that BN shop but remember they did similar at a previous LJF. Off to see Charles tomorrow
  17. That's very tempting. I had about 8 of them but they disappeared...
  18. The addition of Fennesz is very interesting considering the rest of the line up is made up of players who must know each other pretty well. I have streamed it once and need to revisit
  19. When's the Café Oto takeover happening...? Would love to have seen both those gigs, Gorn and Sertso particularly are two players I'd rush to see
  20. Louis Moholo-Moholo's Five Blokes - Uplift The People [Ogun, 2018] Why I wasn't at this gig I have no idea. This is such heartfelt music.
  21. Absolutely fabulous. Just played the album, which I rate very highly. All a bit looser and some extended solos, Hill and Gold especially impressive. I thought the orchestration worked very well, an obvious development of the strings writing on the album. Didn't overwhelm whilst not used sparingly. The whole came across as more suite-like. The quintet got to play without strings enough to prove their undoubted cohesiveness A couple of times Hill got lost amongst the strings but overall it was well balanced I find the album an oddly emotional listen and the concert was similarly, there's some great tunes in there. A triumph
  22. Jason Roebke Octet - Cinema Spiral Revisiting after too long. This generation of Chicago musicians have made and still make some incredibly good music
