I will have to check that one out. I just ordered and received from Relative Pitch the Tomeka Reid/Filippo Monico release entitled the Mouser and the James Brandon Lewis release Unruly Manifesto. I like them both.

Same here.

The Mouser- Tomeka Reid/Filippo Monico (Relative Pitch)

I highly recommend Inner Circle from Osby's Blue Note years. It is my favorite and probably would make my list of favorite albums from 2000-19.

Yes. It would be on my list.

Redundancy is important. You should always have at least TWO backups. I also learned the hard way.

JD Allen - Barracoon (JDA tenor saxophone; Ian Kenselaar bass; Nic Cacioppo - drums) Nothing revelatory, but very enjoyable. JDA leans more towards Ornette in his playing.

I did not find the show disappointing, I found it underwhelming. Darius's focus has been on politics the last few times that I have seen him. At that show, he seemed more interested in spreading his political viewpoints than making good music. I go to the Jazz Gallery to get away from the overtly political. I could have stayed home and watched cable news instead of going to see the performance.

I saw that quartet at the Jazz Gallery recently. I think Darius is a great player, but I was underwhelmed.

Sam Rivers Trio - Emanation (No Business) SR (flute, tenor, soprano, piano) Cecil McBee (Bass) Norman Connors (Drums)

DKV & Joe McPhee the fire each time (Disc 1)

Just ordered.

NYC Winter Jazzfest is a great way to start off a year!
