Tyshawn Sorey - Pillars IV [Firehouse 12 Records, 2018]

First listen to this and it's excellent. The trio of Brice, Challenger and Glaser has three of my favourite players of their generation, I think (maybe they could add Rachel Musson and Percy Pursglove and make it a quintet of my favourites...). Really pissed off I had to miss the Oto gig

Thank you

This looks like it could be interesting https://thevinylfactory.com/news/john-sinclairs-detroit-artists-workshop-compilation-set-for-release/

Not the first but definitely the last three. I can bring some UK craft ales along too

Can I gatecrash?

In that case I'm interested to know your impressions (no pun intended). I saw Brandee Younger Trio recently, it was excellent

No other reason than "new kid on the block" on a very FJB label, releasing a couple of albums with name band members, as I saw it. Just the sort of player I'd look to them to introduce me to. Are you suggesting nefarious motivations?

Is that a tribute to Alice and John? Asking as he's booked to do one in London. I'm unsure about it

I watched a stream from the VV, I think, during Covid of that trio with Lovano and Frisell. It was excellent and very definitely a tribute to their work with Motian Zoh Amba is interesting, I'm not completely convinced by the one album I have by her

Cassie Kinoshi Mama Cass Philip Glass (with a northern English accent)

Another new one from Sorey, on Pi, quartet playing standards amongst others. Following in Braxton's footsteps? https://tyshawn-sorey.bandcamp.com/album/the-off-off-broadway-guide-to-synergism?from=fanpub_fb

That's a steal

That FS selection left me a bit cool I have to say, all a bit predictable. Not a great Futterman and and have more Crispell releases than I have time to listen to. Hal Russell is always worth a listen though. I bought 'Substantial Myths' for Gordoa who impressed me elsewhere. I wasn't overwhelmed by it I have to say. Maybe requires another listen. I find myself increasingly thinking that I now react to improv best heard live as over the years I have amassed so many recordings that few of the new ones break much new ground.

Andrrew Cyrille/Peter Brotzmann - Andrew Cyrille Meets Brotzmann in Berlin 1982 [FMP, Germany 1983] two masters at work

You both have an enviable amount of clear surface space and no clutter

I listened to it yesterday, really interesting. Must have been great to see it live

Jimetta Rose & Voices Of Creation - How Good It Is Joyous and uplifting, can't stop listening to this

Well, they have certainly been "lost" to general availability and consumption for decades. That's certain, hence the excitement here now that we have "found" them. I'm not sure "lost" in this context ever necessarily means misplaced or hidden, does it? It can do in some instances but not all.

Grover Washington Jr. - Winelight First listen in decades, really enjoying it both nostalgically but also in the here and now

Blissed out. I have a soft spot for that one

Yes, not overwhelming but quietly insistent. Nice groove to some of it and the Jaimie track is special.
