FWIW I have no beef with Iyer or Coleman though I'm largely unfamiliar with both of their music. Which of the more recent Coleman records might you recommend?
Frankly this one looks pretty good to me as I don't have any of this except the 1958 stuff on the old split LP. As much as I love Miles my interest drops precipitously during the electric period. I have the original albums but have never gone in for the extra stuff.
I bought that first Zs 10" when it came out. I'm amazed they kept it going for so long. I haven't heard anything else they've done (except piss off Weasel...)
An album from Ran & Sara Serpa's residencies at the Kitano hotel in NYC in June 2013 & 14 has been culled by Sunnyside and will be out late May. I CANNOT WAIT! Ran & Sara is a magic combination.

Huh, weird. I thought this was never released at the time and was only turned up as an acetate at a flea market? I guess I need to go back and re-read the CD liners.
Could go either way.
There's Tyandai, too. I passed a fine evening with him and the band Parts & Labor after they played a show in my friend's garage...geez, 12 years ago now. A very nice & talented dude.
