It most surely was. Braxton played with his New Quartet - Carla Tests, Susana Silva Santos, Maria Portugal. If I understood the announcement correctly, this was the first time they had played the music live. The evident delight of AB playing with these musicians was an absolute joy to see, he fist pumped several times at the end whilst doing a little jig! The music was rigorous and engrossing in that way that Braxton music always is. Maria Portugal is someone to look out for. Threadgill and Zooid inhabited that soundworld that we know so well from the recordings. The interplay between musicians was extraordinary. HT sat out for longer periods obviously engrossed by the playing of his music. When he played, well there isn't a tone like that anywhere else. Played a lot of Poof I think. Both sets very well received by a good if not sell-out crowd

'Ballad Of The Fallen ' very, very special record. Enjoy

Threadgill Zooid & Anthony Braxton Quartet London Jazz Festival

Last night Surya Botofasina, Nate Mercereau and Carlos Niño at Church Of Sound, London Part of London Jazz Festival

I'll be meeting A Lark Ascending, who posts no longer, tomorrow for the Braxton/Threadgill doubleheader in London

Someone's got to. I've always been intrigued by it but never got a copy, just found one cheap on Discogs

That is a high price. I paid £50 at Ronnie Scott's but was pleased to do so to see him in a small club. Pretty sure I'd pass on $100 too and I like the new trio albums mostly

Personally like you Gheorge, I don't care a jot that I don't have some kind of invented ranking/badge to show how often I post. Jim's done a great job here and why he should be bothered to fix things like rankings is beyond me really.

Never is

Every one a winner too. Very much looking forward to the CD set, thanks for posting it

I don't think I knew about that and I'm a big fan of the Phillips. Edit to add: now ordered!

Also, looks a lot better. Thanks for sorting out the upgrade

Joe McPhee & Tomeka Reid - Let Our Rejoicing Rise [Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2022] Powerful

I forgot them, damn. Which ones did you get?

Tomeka Reid & Fred Lonberg-Holm - Eight Pieces For Two Cellos [Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2022] I knew this would be good with these two players, both long-term favourites on my favourite instrument, but it exceeds expectations. Outstanding Kept in the can for 9 years, wonder why?

On the evidence of those YouTubes I'm definitely in for this one, that second cut is just too good to miss out on

I received my very much delayed Harriott and Russell LPs from Jazz in Britain this week. Easily the most delayed order I have ever placed, 20 months! Not sure how JiB are doing generally but that sort of delay really isn't acceptable. They had all the excuses that other labels have experienced but none others have been delayed any more than 3 months. Makes me think they don't know what they're doing.

It sounds good, I've not been disappointed by a TP yet I didn't know that, thanks for pointing it out

That is a great album. My LP is a bit battered but the music shines through

Terry Gibbs - El Nutto [Limelight, 1964 mono]

Oh, I have a perfectly fine CD version too

That's a cracking album so is this Tone Poet

I did, this https://natbirchallmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-infinite

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
