I shall, definitely

Charlie Mingus - A Modern Jazz Symposium Of Music And Poetry [New Land, UK 2022 RE] This reissue sounds really nice. Good presentation too That beer looks nice...and i know the album is

Beautiful album

That's a great album. Keep following felser's recommendations for more that good too

And very good it is too

Everything But The Girl - Eden Loved this in 1984 (!!) and love it now. Tracey Thorn announced yesterday that they have recorded a new album for release next year. I am more excited than I probably should be

Anteloper - Pink Dolphins [International Anthem, 2022] such a great loss but music was left and we shall continue to appreciate it

Just brilliant

Liking it a lot more on this listen, probably my fourth or fifth but after a break. Hearing a lot more originality, variation and subtlety in her playing now. Just bought the Tzadik to see how that is

Listening to 'In the Soviet Union' now and enjoying a lot, despite Jarrett overplaying at points. All power to the public library system, my introduction to lots of Jazz. I went on to work in public libraries for 16 years ending up being the music buyer - lots more Jazz

Having read this, I'm going to listen to that album again today. It's been a while

Zoh Amba - O Sun

Yes, I'd say that "spaciness" is part of the appeal of some of his music to me, but by no means all. Perhaps one man's spaciness is another's soulfulness. I enjoy his jauntiness too. It'd be a dull world if we all heard the same thing.

That's Northern Europe for you - always grey it's why we're so much fun at parties

The recent BNs are not setting my world alight either (although I've not gone deep into them) and I do feel there's been a general dip since he left ECM. I saw him just pre-Covid in Ronnie's and he was great live. During Covid I watched a couple of very good live streams and a great film put together for Pierre Boulez Saal and the berlin Jazz festival Absolutely this. These albums deserve repeated attention. I also agree about the Atlantics, beyond 'Dream Weaver' it all gets a bit much of a muchness

You'll be asking them to brighten the colour palette next

I agree absolutely about the ECM releases, they are uniformly strong, but then some folks don't like or readily dismiss that label. Not saying that's what leads to Larry Kart's take on Lloyd (I'm also surprised by such a blanket dismissal) but I know it's seriously coloured other people's opinions of artists on the label.

This was a very smooth flight, just a touch of turbulence but with outstanding cabin crew

Thanks for posting. All look very enticing, great to have something new by LJCO

Mike Osborne Quintet - Marcel's Muse [Ogun, UK 1977] Bunn Debrett Quintet - 2 [BDQ Records, UK 2022]

That is a great selection of tunes and performances, interesting idea

It is indeed, my local. Three crackers there, that's for sure. Just checking my shelves to make sure my copies are still there...

Just looked again, they must have sold out as it was there a couple of days ago. Yes, Brexit taxes are crazy both directions, such a shame

Honest Jon's have it in stock, a bit nearer if you're desperate

Hope that's as fun as the cover suggests
