Anyone bought the Mark Murphy? I'm tempted but would love a steer on the sound quality
-
And let's face it Nat is a pretty good authority. Convinced me not to go anywhere near it

👍

I thought his Cecil book was really disappointing. Very little insight into the man and it became a simple chronological description of the gigs played. I believe there's another bio on the horizon which will hopefully do Taylor justice. As for RSD itself, well the first Little Feat album is one I'm very happy to be reacquainted with.

Thanks for the info

BFT discussion nudge? I'm a big fan of the Midorikawa but I have the CD set with extra material. The LP would be nice. I don't know the Yamada duos but do know the musicians so I'm intrigued.
-
Ha! Got there in the end. I only have 'Homo Sacer' by Kawashima which I need to get out again. I'm intrigued by the full details of this on reveal. As I will be for the Parker track. I don't have the set it's from so will definitely want to know who's playing with him.

Makoto Kawashima or Mototeru Takagi? I'm running out of Japanese fire-breathers
-
I'm not sure I know an album where Parker plays it without Hamid being there too. Some sleuthing brought this up as a possibility https://www.discogs.com/release/10654938-Gary-Joseph-Hassay-Dave-Liebman-William-Parker-Tatsuya-Nakatani-Deep-Within As for the other clue, there's a Taiwanese free jazz player who I can't think of right now

Lao Dan was my banker, I'm sure I could hear Chinese folk elements having listened carefully as suggested... Now I could start listing shakuhachi players but I won't. With Shabaka and Andre 3000's flute playing it's had a bit of a revival I think. Unless you're being a bit sneaky and it's William Parker, the percussion could be Hamid in that case. The second flute player Daniel Carter And that's my last guess, I promise
-
Is #3 Lao Dan? #9 is bugging me as I really like it. Is that a shakuhachi? Not that that's going to cut down the options much a there's so many masterful players of it.

One hell of a legacy left and life lived. A running thread through UK jazz for so long. 'Westbrook Blake' is one of the most moving live experiences of any art form I have seen. If he'd only done that it would've been a major contribution but he did so so much more.
-
You know the studio album from which the music is taken, I'm guessing? https://www.discogs.com/master/2848426-Tom-Skinner-Voices-Of-Bishara
-
So if it's IA I probably have it. https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/3932399362 It's 'The Journey' from Tom Skinner's live album. I knew I knew it. In fact I think the studio version was on the only BFT I have done. Kareem Dayes on cello amongst a largely hometown crew
-
I reckon #2 is pretty contemporary, last 10 years, possibly International Anthem. Lester St Louis on cello perhaps or listening some more, is it Tomeka? Great track which if I don't already own I want to #3 could be Akira Sakata? #9 Shabaka...
