R.I.P. This was a favorite back in college:

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 👍

Wonderful quintet on Wednesday. At Jazz Gallery. Michael Attias on alto sax, Satoshi Takeishi on percussion, Eric McPherson on drums, John Hebert on bass & a special guest from Berlin on vibes. Can’t find her name. 2 sets. Takeishi is brilliant. Hebert is always great in these in/out jazz contexts. last night at Roulette Lee Renaldo, David Watson & Brian Chase incredible hour improv. Drones, awesome bagpipe care of Watson. Chase always great. Renaldo was even better than I expected. Great electronics, great guitar with feedback. Even some gorgeous piano with the great grand piano at the venue. Like nothing I’ve ever heard overall. tonight at The Stone Henry Fraser on double bass, Brandon Seabrook on guitar (and banjo?) & the *great* Randy Peterson on drums

Excellent! ❤️ 😁

You convinced me, I need the Brooks as well...

I just learned that the wonderful Garifuna musician, Aurelio, died earlier this year in a plane crash. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aurelio-martinez-dead-honduran-musician-garifuna-1235299246/ He released multiple fine recordings on Stonetree Records. http://www.stonetreerecords.com/music/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l446_o6bsnY&list=RDl446_o6bsnY&start_radio=1

I don’t know how the original sounds but I do know that this one sounds great! As I mentioned the artwork is done very nicely as well. Shiney cover and very hard cardboard. A quality reissue I must say. Happy with it.

Klaus Doldinger used his 'Passport' for heaven - he died on Thursday evening surrounded by his family - R.I.P.

Jazz at the Hollywood Bowl (Verve)

Sun Ra, Pink Elephants on Parade

+1. I could never understand how a band dressed and made up like that could interest anybody. But my brother (he likes metal) is a big fan. He even texted me about Frehley's death.

That Stuttgart set is fantastic.

Kathleen Edwards: Billionaire

So that’s Peter Brötzmann, Sonny Sharrock, Bill Laswell and Ronald Shannon Jackson

Prokofiev

I saw Rush several times when they were Rush. This band, less Peart, is not really Rush, as Eric Lifeson said when Peart died. Even if I wanted to see them, the ticket prices are insane.

👍

Great news about the 1969 concert! Someone should release Stuttgart 1966. SWR Jazzhaus would be the obvious choice, not sure they're still active though.

I thought we had a good discussion about Huss Charles last year... And I also liked the detective work around the second tenor player or about what went wrong with the licencing of Palo Alto... Those discussions were not off topic when they happened... And I do think that these problems happen a bit too often to this particular producer - then again, he's quite productive ... Be all that as it may, what I wanted to say is this: a dedicated thread for negativity about Zev Feldman would not solve any problems, it might even create new ones.
