The danger of holiday high spirits...many have done a lot worse I'd suggest Playing here: Ahmed Abdullah Quartet - Liquid Magic [Silk heart, 1987] Forgotten how joyous this is, Brackeen, Favors, Fielder with the leader.

Bet that's good. One I'd pick up if I ever see it

Ronnie Scott b.Ronald Schatt Ahmed Abdul-Malik b. Jonathan Tim, Jr

I'd forgotten I've got that...as yet unopened

Great, thanks. I have that somewhere, will listen for Spaulding

Which albums would you suggest? Save me ploughing through, thanks

Looks like a pretty healthy lineup to me. A good number of younger artists featured to illustrate that Jazz is an evolving and vital art form. Some non-Jazz artists to pull in the curious who may then connect with some of the Jazz acts thereby helping to maintain and increase the genre's audience. Some Jazz adjacent artists who use Jazz to inform their music, showing the influence of the genre we all love. Nice all round programming by McBride I'd say

Extraordinary post, factually incorrect apart from anything else.

Time machine please

I finally found a copy of Blas's 'En La Universidad' and I'm really enjoying it. Just hoping that some of you might know what other releases he can be heard on playing in this manner. Looking at Discogs it appears that releases under his name around this one are more aimed at a different audience, pop covers etc He's been discussed on this thread but only about the Universidad LP Thanks

Pan-Afrikan Peoples Orchestra - Live At I.U.C.C. 4/27/80 Sounds a bit raggedy on this one but the music makes up for it

Yes, it is really good. Looking again and I think that's pressing faults on the Clark. I'm really enjoying your old copy of Archie Shepp at the moment!

Archie Shepp - Attica Blues Big Band [Blue Marge, France 1979]

They might be a pressing fault. Are they raised? If so might be worth very gently seeing if they're just something stuck on. I've had success removing such detritus a few times but it's not normally as much as I think I see in your photo. I'm now playing 'The Angels of Atlanta' because you mentioned it elsewhere. What a great album

That's the one where AB plays piano, I have often wondered about it Another new box set here. Lorraine pieces played by a saxophone quartet https://idischidiangelica.bandcamp.com/album/sax-qt-lorraine-2022 This thread is about the Mosaic, no? I thought @tranemonkwas referring to the Anthony Braxton Tristano set, but I could have misinterpreted

I didn't know about this reissue, great news. Thanks for posting it

Yeah, love its economy Now this Tony Oxley Quintet - the Baptised Traveller [CBS, UK 1969] I'm not sure it gets much better than side 2 of this, the interplay is phenomenal and Jeff Clyne's arco

Today's arrival Masayuki "Jojo" Takayanagi - Lonely Woman [Three Blind Mice, Japan 1982] preceded by Angel Bat Dawid - Requiem For Jazz [International Anthem, 2023]

Thanks, not generally a porridge fan but will have a stream as the concept sounds interesting

How is that? Looks interesting

Great Tubbs!

The first Commodores I heard, in about 1977. Great album

Online sources, quoting family reporting this sad news. Dead at 45. Not too sure how much he means to too many here but I saw him rip it up with Glasper a few years ago. He also played in later Stefon Harris groups and lots of others along the way.

Great, thank you

Is this new, any good? I haven't seen anything new from him for a while. I need to investigate
