Listening now Or did they just want to make more money...and cash in on Makaya's name? Ever cynical

I love that reinterpretation but also the source album

Thanks Pim Ripping CDs, those were the days!

Which of the duos with Mal do you suggest I try @Pim

Good choices

Here's a short but sweet appreciation https://thebluemoment.com/2023/06/06/astrud-gil/

A big yes to the Yamashita Trio albums I've heard. Intense

I have to admit that the BBE reissues didn't grab my attention. His Enja with Schoof and Sakata is a favourite as is this one https://www.discogs.com/master/1054108-Moriyama-Takeo-Percussion-Ensemble-Full-Load

Just ordered the Kraabel, thanks for bringing it to my attention

That's more than ok by me

I rate this one https://www.discogs.com/master/1030680-Floating-Points-Kuiper and this https://www.discogs.com/master/908559-Floating-Points-Elaenia Doo I really have to call him Flo-Po from now on...?

I agree about Hebden, I saw him and Reid live which was excellent. When I first came across him he was playing in a post-rock group, Fridge I think, that had at least one track with a fiery sax solo I also think that Floating Points is in the discussion too, and before the Sanders hook up

I like that, a lot

What a beautiful stamp she's left on this world

I really rated this at the time https://www.discogs.com/master/17358-Skalpel-Skalpel Also from the UK there was Red Snapper, some Mr Scruff and Homelife intersecting with the spectrum. I'll shut up now and let others join in

Truffaz went very soft very quickly to my ears but from memory, and it's a while ago now, this one was listenable (I did say varying levels of recommendation...) https://www.discogs.com/release/316996-Erik-Truffaz-with-Patrick-Muller-Marcello-Giuliani-Marc-Erbetta-The-Dawn All the genre names describe jazz instruments wedded to beats of some description as far as I can tell

More specifically, Han Sotofett & Jaako Eino Kalevi with Andres Loo Jameszoo - Blind Jiyu - Caught in the rain at the tea shop All sit somewhere on the spectrum I think you're describing but in very different places This one! https://www.discogs.com/master/1773281-Scanner-With-The-Post-Modern-Jazz-Quartet-Blink-Of-An-Eye

Some names that come immediately to mind, varying degrees of recommendation. Earlier releases better in each case I think Skalpel Conjoint Nils Petter Molvaer Erik Truffaz

I really rated their first one. What did you make of this? I'd forgotten it was released

Is your show available online? I've now ordered both Raghavan's, thanks for posting them. That's one of the great things about this place, picking up new music from folk with good taste.

This has sent me to his latest 'In Tense' which is definitely impressive on first listen.

On my 'to buy' list when the Now Again edition hits UK shops

That's an album I played to death on release. Beautiful

Wallen Bink definitely legit and also very well produced and presented
