Listing says Christian Weber, Flo Stoffner, Simon Berz. Know Weber of course, but not the others.

Wish I could hit the New Orleans show myself, but life is rough. Paul Lovens will be there in December ... that I really, really want to try and make work, but it's pretty doubtful.

They're all worth hearing, but IMO the ones to get are: Loose Assembly - Speed of Change + Roscoe Mitchell - In Pursuit of Magic People Places Things - Clean on the Corner People Places Things - Second Cities Vol. 1 (probably my favorite one)

Have you considered Fresh Sound directly? Their prices aren't great, but also not terrible-- about $16e per CD, shipping added. Jazz Messengers is even better-- they're pretty reliable and ship pretty expeditiously: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/98989898/complete-catalog-of-the-label-fresh-sound-new-talent

Due to more facebook newsfeed fuckery I never saw this post from Trost 2 months ago. Some incredible stuff on here: autumn/winter 2015 Trost Records TR134 Serries/Dikeman/Noble LP/CD TR135 Gustafsson/Pupillo/Chippendale LP/CD TR136 Schlippenbach/Takase/Lovens/DJ Illvibe LP/CD TR137 Sven Ake Johansson - Konzert für 12 Traktoren Picture LP TR138 Brötzmann - Songlines DoCD TR139 Vandermark / Harnik / Kern LP/CD TR140 Mats Gustafsson 50th birthday CD-Box TR141 MADE TO BREAK new studio album LP/CD TR142 O’Malley / Noble LP/CD Jukebox Series JBX003 MCPHEE / BONI JBX004 THE THING worked over by SHIT & SHINE Cien Fuegos Brötzmann Sextet/Octet – Nipples LP Brötzmann Group – Alarm LP Orchester 33 1/3 LP The Thing Records THE THING new studio-album LP/CD

Though I don't really buy vinyl I often have the opposite problem with CDs-- they're packaged so thoroughly and tightly that you risk damaging them just trying to get the packaging off. Recently I had a guy roll about 50 feet of packing tape around bubble wrap around the CDs. I get wary using scissors and pulling runs the risk of bending digipacks or breaking jewels. People need to relax.

Don't see it on there.

I bought Cage - Sonata & Interlude, Feldman - For Bunita Marcus, and Polwechsel - Field & Traces of Wood. Also took advantage and got some erstwhile titles last week. It's going to be hard not to place an order every week!

Damn, that second one sounds almost better than the first!

I wasn't either. Looking at their fb I see months of updates that never showed for me so I readjusted my settings to get notifications from them. The new one is called The Delaware River. I don't like buying these expensive LPs, but I will get this one-- the band is too good.

Desperately want a recording of the Brotzmann/Tippett/Noble Band

I haven't heard enough of Darius Jones' music-- and he's been putting a LOT of it out there in the last couple years-- but I agree he's an astounding player and genuinely original. That in an of itself is pretty exciting.

Ran's 80th was yesterday! Jonathan Horowich's Film Noir reissue is up for pre-order on Amazon. The upcoming Soul Note box has also been discussed here. Chabrol Noir is finally slated for release, albeit only in Europe, on Impulse! later this year.

Peacock I could see working, but Frisell & Baron with Konitz sounds all wrong. Plus I think BF is boring.

I haven't heard as much recent Konitz as I should but the 2011ish Birdland set on ECM is one of my favorite records ever.

I hope people buy the Ran set. Tremendous music, especially Short Life, Unmarked Van and the way underheard Indian Winter.

Thanks, I'll grab Poesy, finally!

I'll check it but I'll admit to being a bit unenthusiastic about the band. What's wrong with Jeff Parker & Frank Rosaly or Chad Taylor...? Kidding aside, I like Halvorson and Fujiwara in most contexts but together they seem to go on autopilot more often than not.

Nice to see. She is awesome.

SIGH Maybe next year ...

Precisely, it's just the Select. A lot of them are available like that.

The recordings I own of Cecil with just a drummer (Max Roach (Soul Note), and Oxley, Lovens, and Moholo all on FMP) are all favourites. I put them on often. I am in need of more recent Cecil, however. After Nailed (1990) I only have Willisau from 2000 on Intakt. Always A Pleasure from 1993 is one of my favorite CT albums-- actually quite reminiscent of Unit Structures. Almeda from 1996 is very good, and I like the music on Cadence-- a trio with Jackson Krall & Dominic Duval, a duo with Duval, and two quartet CDs adding Harri Sjostrom to the trio, recorded between 98-03.

Personally my favorite Pullen music is on the Blue Notes. Not sure what it is I like about those more than the 70s material, but I think it's just perfect music.

That/Not is incredibly good, as is the Schlippenbach and Fuji.

Yes: Do not buy a single other record until you buy all of the following: Don Pullen Mosaic Select Don Pullen Black Saint/Soul Note Box Set Carter-Bradford - Flight For Four Carter-Bradford - Self-Determination Music Carter-Bradford Mosaic Select Carter-Bradford - No U Turn Horace Tapscott - The Dark Tree If you think I'm kidding you're mistaken!
