John Coltrane "The 1961 Helsinki Concert" Gambit cd Decent sound. Great performances.  

Last Thursday night, Mike LeDonne Trio at Blues Alley. Friday night: First, Henry Threadgill, Vijay Iyer and Dafnis Prieto at 92ndNY. Second, Artemis at Birdland. Saturday night: Dave Holland/Chris Potter/Brian Blade at Dizzy's (Last minute substitutions for Azar Lawrence, who cancelled due to illness). Second, Tyshawn Sorey Trio (Aaron Diehl and Harish Raghovan) at the Village Vanguard. The indisputable best of this series of concerts were the Henry Threadgill concert and Tyshawn Sorey at the VV. Both were fantastic.

I’m starting my listening with “Roxy Coss”–her self-titled self-released frist cd. Bass – Kellen Harrison Composed By – Roxy Coss Design – Mary Coss Drums, Percussion – Shawn Baltazor Guitar – Ryan Brennan Piano, Electric Piano – Justin Kauflin Producer – Roxy Coss Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute – Roxy Coss Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Kate Miller    

I've been revisiting Alvin Fielder's A Measure of Vision (Dennis González, Chris Parker, Aaron González, Stefan González) recently and think it's one of the label's finest.
