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

That's a great shame, only very belatedly came to her music and have enjoyed most all that I have heard

I hadn't read that, seals it for me too

6 copies now, I just ordered one. Bit of a punt but Lee/Hampel is a favourite combination so willing to risk it

That just sounds great, and what a festival line up! Black Truffle get good UK distribution so I'd think a US distributor like Forced Exposure might take it, no?

I'm with you in that minority. I always think GBG a bit too long, would have made a better single LP (yes, I know the Japanese edition is single but has all the music).

Yes, I think so. I was a poor student at the time so was pleased. I shall revisit it over the weekend I have just booked a ticket for the Black Sabbath ballet at London's leading dance venue! Contemporary ballet interpretations of and set to Sabbath tunes It has the Tony Iommi's stamp of approval and was a big hit in Birmingham where it opened, danced by their very well respected city ballet. Should be a blast. A rush of nostalgia at the very least

Three more Paul Dunmall CDs from FMR. I have a good number but can't resist adding to them now and again

I remember that coming out the first time...
