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

Enjoy Ahmed

And the BAD beatbox behind!

So it is a Silkheart? I have one of his on the label

And Parker playing the Hochiku?

Damn, missed it! Not an old punk, just old and would have loved to have seen this nostalgia rush.

So if it's Lindberg then it's probably George Lewis too, as per Jsngry above

Scroll to the bottom of the linked Bandcamp page in the first post

And back, 7. First thoughts, this sounds European, Tusques maybe but I don't know a lot of his music (something I need to remedy) so that's possibly way off. It's very good, sort of 'Watermelon Man' mixed with 'Take Five' and put through the blender 8. More strong bass on this one. Late 60s? Sounds like the offspring of adventurous BN 9. And another that starts with arco bass or am I just imagining that preponderance. I'm sure I know these players. The drumming is phenomenal, Dennis Charles? It feels just a bit too out there for NYAQ but it's there or thereabouts. Possibly best tune so far. 10. This is great, no further comment 11. Love this, so interesting from the off. I very particular vibes sound that almost sounds like a high pitched marimba in places, more wood than steel. Khan Jamal? Favourite track so far 12. Trombone again. The interplay between the horns is terrific and again the drummer is right on it. Surely Clifford Thornton has to appear on this BFT somewhere and foot that reason and that it sounds the correct era I'm going to suggest him. It sounds BYG-esque. 13. Nice ending, more space in this one Thanks Clifford, lots to enjoy in this selection. I suspect, come reveal, to recognise a lot of names and maybe own an album or two. My tastes have moved away from the predominant style of the selection but 10/15 years ago I'd've hoovered this up wholesale. One another impression, a lot of the tracks take a long time to say what they want to, most could have been shorter and not lost a lot of impact.
