An enjoyable listen, thanks. There's a far amount of Bernstein programmed at this year's Proms so it was nice to have a Jazz context. I'm intrigued by his sitting in with Ornette.

I'd absolutely second this recommendation. My favourite recent EP album, as Ubu says, beautifully recorded

thanks

Poschiavo is very good. Not aware of the other release/remaster, thanks for the alert

today's review piqued my interest too but not got around to listening to it yet. Your impressions?

Yes, sorry mjzee. I'll see whether I can edit it so you're not misrepresented by my post. Those are JSngry's words. That was my error for taking the quote from your quote of JSngry

Good to hear one of the greatest artists of twentieth century died to a timetable of which you approve, just culturally of course. Heaven forbid he should have lived longer and disappointed you... edit to add: above quote is actually of JSngry's text not mjzee. Apologies for error using quote function

Open Sky - Spirit in The Sky [PM] Frank Tusa - Father Time [Enja]

Me too, now. Good listen

just announced an Oto date in November. I'll be there, life willing

Finally, after a couple of years, got my hands on a copy of that recently only to discover it was scratched so back to the seller it went. At least I got to listen to it and know that it's well worth hunting for again

The only copy I've ever seen looked in very good condition and was tucked under Evan Parker's arm. Whilst he played the gig he left it lying unattended on the Vortex piano. I spent some time wondering if I could cause a sufficient distraction...

Both the McNair and Karyobin would have the pink Island labels not the palm tree I'm guessing.

Booker Little - Victory and Sorrow [Bethlehem] no U Roy influences apparent on this one...

New York Art Quartet - Call It Art [Triple Point] LP1. Starts with 'Banging On The White House Door' which seems somewhat apt this week Me neither. I don't ever recall seeing a Jazz LP on Island before. Maybe they released lots and they've passed me by This label means reggae, and some other genres, to me but not Jazz

My favourite Bley, deep indeed

I didn't buy it because I didn't like it as much as you did Steve. I gave it a good listen though. Different strokes

Kazuko Shiraishi Dedicated To The Late John Coltrane [Musicworks]

Irreversible Entanglements - s/t [International Anthem/Don Giovanni] still the most vital and exciting contemporary album I've bought this year

Ornette Coleman - Of Human Feelings [Antilles]

Shirley Scott - Scottie [Prestige] I was listening to this live version of the band only yesterday. I should get the ECM out again

Oh Yes!
