Maybe so, I haven't heard about his sight loss or not, but the darker cover theory is definitely disproven by several recent examples - Wadada/Iyer, Anouar Brahem, Guidi/Brandon Lewis and there are more but I shan't belabour the point

My copy is on the post. Initial streaming certainly suggests and album for these times, I would love to have heard that dual interview. Their previous recordings are wonderful too. Where Iyer does his best work these days to my ears, many others would say his trio but not for ne

About 20 years ago Hazel Miller lived about 500 yards from me so I used to just pop round to make my purchases. She was a delight to deal with. I bought the Blue Notes box set and got a first hand history to give with it. She then moved out of the city to the coast.

I'd forgotten about Furst, thanks for the reminder

I like that but then I like a lot of Otomo's Jazz output

It worked this time...

Me too now, prompted by your post to get it off the shelf. There was a time when I was hoovering up everything from this generation of Chicago players, such a great scene.

As I suspected, lots of names I know. Rostvold and Rosenbloom are new to me. At £800 for the Rostvold I'm unlikely to get to know it soon either The Togashi/Suzuki is the one I own and didn't ID, along with Booker T which I somehow ID'd the label only. Azzolini has been in my Discogs cart at least twice without pulling the trigger, perhaps this is the prompt to do so. A couple others to definitely follow up, Chapin and Toshiko. A nice selection, thanks again for the time and effort Edit to add: four now added to my Discogs cart (not the Rostvold, sadly)

Most definitely missed

Nice to see it being appreciated more than it was here

I wish it had been a CD release. I ended up with downloads, terrific music

I'll be there for the London edition... Meanwhile, congratulations on securing such a great event

That's an impressive lineup. If it were this side of the Atlantic in addition to your list I'd be aiming for Peter Evans Being&Becoming, Kim Gordon, Valentina Magaletti, Moritz Von Oswald; Nicole Mitchell, Ben Lamarr Gay, Sara Serpa, Fred Frith. Shame there aren't any streamed sets

Nice! Is your hearing back now to enjoy it?

Yes, I think that's what interests me, takes it out of the usual hard bop territory, just that bit, the bit that makes a difference. I don't know these albums at all so will be investigating them. I recently bought 'The Real Thing' in no small part down to your and @Pim's enthusiasm for it here, and I love it

The presence of Franco makes me want to hear this a lot more than if he wasn't there for some reason

Boulez -Pli Selon Pli Boulez/Ensemble Intercontemporain Happy 100 PB!

I did too

Another new Brötzmann release https://oldheavenbooks.bandcamp.com/album/hurricane

Yes, they initially released it

This looks very interesting. It seems to have had an earlier download only release in 2021. This is claiming to be expanded https://michaelgregoryjackson.bandcamp.com/album/frequency-equilibrium-koan-expanded The label's previous reissues have been needle drops, but very well received quality-wise. Source for this is "superior"... Samples sound tasty

Thanks, I had no idea

At least I got the label right. What's the story with Booker T? I have the leader date but don't know much else about him

Thank you, prompted me put on my copy, a 1973 US repress which only now do I realise has a different track listing, sharing just three tunes with the Victor. I wonder what the thinking behind that was
