Khan Jamal's Give The Vibes Some is now being reissued, but not by Souffle Continu. This reissue was licensed from his family. Unfortunately unlike with SC this one is limited to 500 copies only and is priced much higher. Also no CD. Unfortunate.

FWIW it seems like the operations of Cadence/CadNor have been handed over for awhile, so especially now I don't think that one would have to feel like they're lining his pockets by purchasing from there. Still a one of a kind resource.

PM on the following:
Dickerson ,Walt A Sense of Direction 10
Doyle Arthur/Sonny Murray Live at Glenn Miller Café 12
Dresser ,Mark Force Green 3
Dyani ,Johnny Detail - Day Two 6
Burrell ,Dave After Love 12
Dan ,Lao/Deng Boyu Tutu Duo 2
-
Still looking through & will PM you later, but please hold the Doyle/Murray disc for me.

Great read, but hoping there could be a Part 2 that goes into all the other fantastic releases outside the AEC axis.

I would agree with everyone here, it's pretty straightforward. A LOT of Harriott has been scraped up for release over the last 10-20 years and while it's all nice to have, imo there's still nothing that tops the studio albums, especially Abstract and Free Form.

Corbett vs. Dempsey will be releasing an ESO "small unit" CD in the next couple weeks. I assume this is drawn from a CvsD gallery performance last spring that featured Mazurek with Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Tomeka Reid, Damon Locks, Chad Taylor, and Angelica Sanchez:

Upping this thread to note that there is a recent unofficial 2xCD out of Japan that features performances from March 19 and April 2 called Creation: The Lost Half Note Tapes (note that the Impulse! CD is from March 26 and May 7). It can be purchased from Music Lover Japan for $55 (not cheap) or heard for free on YouTube. It's extraordinary stuff in bracing, upfront sound quality.

This is also an excellent album. RIP.

Caroline Morton is a very strong young bassist. Lemuel Marc also very promising. The times I’ve seen them live were inspiring. I’m mixed on Zoh. Very little harmonic agility. Best when she is with strong players like Chris Corsano, Steve Gunn, Ryan Sawyer & gabby. Saw a great drummerless quartet with Forbes Graham, gabby & Luke Stewart. The other best set was with Gunn, gabby & Ryan Sawyer. Sawyer really pushed her even more than Corsano.
.I can agree with that. The music with Corsano has been pretty rote to my ears. The stuff I've liked best is when she's playing with her peers-- sets with gabby fluke-mogul/Lesley Mok and gfm/Luke Stewart/Tcheser Holmes are the best I've heard so far.

I’ll work on a new list of newish recordings.
The younger musicians in NYC/Brooklyn are fire
James Paul Nadian
Chuck Roth
James McKain
Joey Sullivan (from Philly)
Michael Foster
Brandon Lopez (not new any longer)
Charmaine Lee
Caleb Duvall
T.J. Borden
Madison Greenstone
Webb Crawford
and more.
My familiarity with these musicians is largely limited to YouTube obviously but definitely some very strong players here; not necessarily convinced by all yet. Some other younger improvisors I’d add are Kelly Bray, Caroline Morton, DoYeon Kim, and Lemuel Marc. There’s a lot of promise out there right now. I’m cautiously optimistic that a new paradigm is on the rise.
Regarding Zoh Amba: I’ve listened to her recordings and watched a number of sets online; some were great, some less so. Meaning some had great clarity of intention and some did not. So it goes. But seeing her duet in person with Joe McPhee a few weeks ago was a revelation. It was truly extraordinary. She largely let Joe take the lead and colored his lines, echoed, pondered, and responded in perfect harmony. At times she was playing precisely his unique register on the horn. It was easily one of the best sax duos I’ve ever heard, and I know Joe was awed. Time will tell how she chooses to use her gifts, but she very much has them to use. Anyways, hopefully she & Joe will meet again, ideally on record.

Bill Crow has shared news of Dave Bailey’s passing at age 97. A wonderful drummer and bandleader who can be heard on a murderer’s row of classic dates from the 50s and 60s, perhaps most notably those of Gerry Mulligan. A blessing that he was able to have such a long and full life.

So glad you are seeing this. Especially with the *great* Joe McPhee right in the middle of the lineup!!
Tomorrow night Mary Halvorson & Sylvie Courvoisier @ Jazz Gallery. Front table:)
Joe's duet with Zoh was otherworldly. I knew she would do a good job but I was in awe. As good as, if not better than, any saxophone duet I've ever heard him do.

Really agree. I didn't feel compelled to rush out & get this, but a quick used copy turned up at my shop so I grabbed it and have had it spinning on repeat. Very strong stuff.
-
That was my thought, pretty underwhelming if so.
-
Does anyone have any information on the track “All”? Barring any additional information it seems that this is otherwise all previously released despite the slightly weasely PR copy.
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16363
In fact, with the exception of “Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams” this is just the Reincarnation of a Love Bird album, the “fourth” Mingus Candid album that the new one claims to be.

New release from Triple Point Records. Vinyl only as usual, but affordable for once:
Previously unissued 1964 studio demo featuring Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, and Denis Charles
Archie Shepp’s world has always been filled with fire music, and eventually Fire Music. Before that landmark LP, Shepp made Four for Trane—his August 1964 beachhead with Impulse. And even before that, as it turns out, came this one blip—the earliest Shepp leader project yet on record. Under supervision of the artist, this previously unissued demo recording is now available from Triple Point Records.
As the cover of Derailleur suggests, Shepp tries out some surprising combinations for the session. The playlist includes two of Archie’s earliest documented compositions—the jagged 5/4 statement “Viva Jomo” and a shuffling blues named for his Florida homeland. And an homage to Maestro Ellington of course.
Archie had already defined his voice while a sideman and co-leader; now he was looking for his team. Shepp momentarily adopted the quartet that Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd led in the Village. This assemblage delivered a spontaneous demo, and engineer Art Crist captured it in a mono studio session. Buried in Archie’s tape archive was this batch of music that was all but forgotten; now Triple Point has polished it into crisp perfection.

These are Vogue recordings so there is probably mostly overlap with the OP, but I have this one & it’s excellent:

I think the original Horo guy still owns all of it himself?
Well, he died in 2013 but yeah it is my understanding that someone over there still owns the rights. I just wasn't sure what kind of licensing or buybacks/transfers might have gone down with the Ra music since Modern Harmonic and other ventures have released stuff previously done for other labels like Impulse! etc.

I hope they do do an official release of the Berkeley concert, it's fantastic.
