Lester Bowie - The Great Pretender [ECM, Germany 1981] Reacquainting myself with this gem. Thanks @Rabshakeh. Maybe 'All The Magic!' needs investigating again next. These were albums I listened to courtesy of my local library in the early days of my Jazz listening life so never owned them other than on long lost cassette recordings.

Yes,of course. Very impressed with her when she played with Braxton in London last year. I also forgot Ife Ogunjobi who breathes fire with the Ezra Collective

Thanks

Has Akinmusire recorded with Roscoe? I didn't realise. I really rated AA's first album on FSNT and then the next two BNs but have cooled since. I saw a quarter at Ronnie's pre Covid and that was intense Yes, she is such a great loss. One of the most exciting live experiences of recent years seeing Fly Or Die.

Kyle Gann - No Such Thing As Silence, John Cage's 4'33" As recommended here ages ago by @JSngry. Early pages but seems very readable, thanks

Money on it that there's more Facebook users here than either of those platforms. I'm not one. I'm sticking with Twitter, I don't follow a large number, for the time being as I haven't noticed any significant exodus amongst those I follow. Though I think there may well be a tipping point in the not too distant future. Jazz Instagram is fun but sometimes can feel a bit like a manhood comparison site when it comes to pressings. Largely enjoyable space nonetheless and valuable for following record shops, discovered some nice stuff.

It's good to listen to him again, I have about twenty but none on Rogue Art which sort of shows when I disengaged

limbering up for @clifford_thornton's book now this one

My copy arrived today, already dipping in. Looks fascinating

Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra - 60 Years [The Village, 2023]

Yeah, can't go wrong with ACM

Donald Byrd - Black byrd [Blue Note, 1973] Lester Bowie - African Children [Horo, Italy 1978] My favourite Lester I think. What a band!

Thanks for clarifying Niko. Sorry if I misled with my misattribution to Albach Jr. That's a fascinating article with some very tasty future releases mentioned

The current owner I think, protesting against Outernational's treatment of his father. That's what I assumed Where do I hear more Rickey Kelly apart from his leader date, which I have, and the album this thread is about? Anyone inducing spittle flecked enthusiasts is worth tracking down more of...

Current owner is son of Tom Albach who set up the label I had a lovely chat with Harv about Outernational about 4 years ago in the KX HJ. He told me that Tom Albach had been happy to let him reissue what he did but I guess he would say that wouldn't he. I have sketchy memories of some details of the deal he described to me but they're too sketchy to share in.public. He was chatty then, maybe 4 years working in HJ have taken their toll...

Did you happen to get onto the subject of the accusations levelled at him by current Nimbus West owner with regards to his payment for the reissues? I'm intrigued to hear his side of the story Bottom of this page if anyone hasn't already seen what I refer to https://www.nimbuswestrecords.com/

Track 14, Lowe and vibes, from this? https://www.discogs.com/release/1602113-The-Frank-Lowe-Sextet-Skizoke

If I was closer I'd be round with boxes...for the Alice, Rene Mac, John Martyns and more nice to see the Family albums, someone should try them. Unique band with one of the great voices

👍

This has been hitting the spot recently, duet between Caroline Kraabel and Neil Metcalfe https://carolinekraabel.bandcamp.com/album/march-cd

Just finished this. I either warmed to the style or it became a little less jumpcut as the narrative progressed. Either way it's a really interesting read and a great companion to anyone's Threadgill listening.

Fantastic news, they do such high quality reissues

One day I shall pay out for that one
