Nils Petter Molvaer & Norwegian Radio Orchestra - Certainty Of Tides

Looks great

Break A Vase, episode 38 https://www.mixcloud.com/AlexanderHawkinsMusic/break-a-vase-episode-38/

Just the cover makes me want to hear this

Isaiah Collier - Parallel Universe Lots to like about this on first listen, not least Jimetta Rose

OK, I'm going to wait for an ID now. I have just listened to 'Changes Two' for the first time in years though, so something else good comes out of the BFT!

I've only just come across this post. It's an example of why I keep coming back here, such enthusiasm and passion but also maybe most importantly here, knowledge and a willingness to openly share all of the aforementioned. It made me laugh out loud, definitely not at it but with it, in sheer delight I don't know the Sato album but I am a fan of his and I don't know the Ives either but I'm going to seek them both out now. Thanks @HutchFan First listen and I'd say partially successful. Sometimes Shipp's playing seems a bit heavy handed for Mitchell. Other times the band sound very together though I'll enjoy revisiting

A truly great songwriter

So if Track 7 is pre 1975 with Adams and Pullen, are we talking Mingus Changes band I wonder? I haven't listened to them in a long while

Matthew Shipp Trio invites Nicole Mitchell - All Things Are

Is it David Murray on track.7 ?

Which explains why I know it, it's on my shelves!

I think Continuum may shade it but they are both very impressive. His drumming in Lehman's Octet is pretty impressive too, it certainly was live. And playing here... Joshua Raswon Octet - Polar Waters If I could be bothered to do albums of the year this would be high up and all the better for being a completely new discovery and a bit of a punt. Hints of Kenny Wheeler's writing for Norma.

I'm really pleased to hear that 2 and 3 are obscure and I'm unlikely to know them, always like new discoveries

Track 9 of BFT 237

first impressions... Track 1. great start, i haven't the faintest idea who it is but i'd love to be in a club where it was playing track 2. well that intro is just felser-music from the off and initially reminds me a little of 'Bridge into the New Age' but this sounds earlier, nice organ and trumpet solos. Everyone sounds familiar. I'm going to know this when it's ID'd. I could attempt to ID and make a big mistake so holding back. track 3. I like this, a lot. Vibes and trombone is a combination I love, is this Hutcherson and Moncur? although I'm not recognising the sax player I want this (If I don't already have it...) track 4. I thought this was going to be too pretty for my liking with the piano intro but the horns brought some interest and the tune develops nicely. It has the feel of a 70s ECM from a possibly US not European band. One of those lesser known ECM artists like Double Image or Rubaisa Patrol, obviously neither of them. It grows on me and I think repeat listens will bring more out for me. Perhaps overstays its welcome with the round of solos. A sneaky winner. track 5. Not for me, I'm afraid. I'd like it a lot more without the vocals, it's all a bit twee track 6. Torn by this, part of me says 'too smooth', a dissenting part says 'nice and soulful'. This sounds like it's from an album I might buy only to sell on after a few listens not because it's bad but because it doesn't leave a lasting impression. Too tidy is my conclusion on first acquaintance. track 7. in contrast to the previous track this is instantly more engaging with a nice knotty theme to kick us off. Sounds like something a lot of folk listening will know, but not me as yet. That pianist makes me think a little of Don Pullen but that's not an ID just an impression. Sounds like something that Black Saint might have released but possibly a bit earlier. I like this one. track 8. More vibes, lovely. Instantly interested. Then there's that Tyner-esque theme. I should know this and will be very surprised if I don't. Just the sort of track for @Pim to ID, I'd say. Tolliver? If the album's all like this I want it, now! track 9. it's tracks like this that make me love felser BFTs. It was The Pointer Sisters last year and this year here's another that hits straight home and about which I have no idea. Sometimes, when i hear tunes like this, i wish i'd delved as deep into soul and R'n'B as I have into Jazz. I belatedly caught the film 'Summer Of Soul' recently and this track makes me think of that. The supressed Soulboy (a very British tribe, I suspect) in me adores this. This is just tremendous. Could we have a BFT all like this please John? 😀 track 10. This sounds a little constrained by the (? live) recording quality Very listenable indeed, classic example of its type. What the kids call 'spiritual' these days, i've heard... track 11. Hello Julie, and to think what she went on to do and still does. Brits taking Soul and doing their thing, somehow the sunshine isn't as bright and hot over here but the music's good. track 12. Funky to finish. I'll take this home with mw too please A great selection, thank you John. An absolute winner in track 9. Tracks 2 and 3 I suspect I may have and will get if not. Tracks 7 and 8 are another intriguing pairing about which I'm very interested.

And I was wondering what to listen to after this Marilyn Crispell LP. Now I know T.D.'s comment augurs well for a good selection too!

I'll back two separate ones but really whatever makes it easiest for those of you organising this.

Alternate takes album on the way

That explains it. English football chants, folk music! That's how it should be, support Dad's team until you're old enough to see reason. Coincidentally I'm a supporter of the real and oldest blue and white hoops, currently propping up League 1 and heading for administration so you have no worries.

That's tough on Cardiff

This description of the bunk bed solution made me laugh, I'm not sure it should have though. Well done for establishing it at least. I hope the 4yo is talking about a decent football team alongside the vikings And congratulations on the new arrival! Full disclosure, never had kids so can't fully empathise...
