Just listening to the Doug Carn again, it's better than I remembered

A series that hasn't ever quite lived up to the promise. Younge and Ali Shaheed Mohammed choose a "legend" to collaborate with on each. They are worth a listen if you're open to a beat-focussed, Madlib influenced Jazz (some keepers of the Jazz flame might baulk at the J word). I liked the Brian Jackson, Jeane Carn and Gary Bartz more than others. All streamable I think.

I couldn't agree more. Also, I rate that Oslo box very highly. Seeing the Tentet+2 at Oto was one of the most extraordinary live musical experiences of 45 years attending gigs. I realise now that I haven't bought any Tentet albums since the gig, probably subconsciously thinking they're never going to match up.

Bet you don't get the poster with the TP though...always had a soft spot for this session since buying the DMM. I feel a TP purchase coming on

the sequel's good too

Thanks

How is this? I like Togashi a lot and Scott plenty so I'm intrigued

So many contributions

As much as I miss Paul's contributions which is a lot, I think that's a bit unfair on our new arrivals some of whom have helped re-energise the forum as far as I'm concerned.

Resisted them

Scared the kids (and some adults), I heard

There's a little discussion of them in the "What did you buy" thread I picked all three up today and I'm on the last side of the twelve. Fabulous sound quality, great playing by Kleinschuster's band, lovely arrangements and each guest is on top form. The best of the three for me is the Henderson/Goykovich, but that's just on first listen. I found the Slide Hampton sides a bit pedestrian.

Liz & The Misrepresented - Trussed Up, F**ked Up

Me too, I hoover up all his releases, from solo to the Exploding Star.

Is there something here too about the differing methods of the commodification of visual art as opposed to music. Canvasses, sculptures etc are sold as one-offs, or at the most limited runs, which creates a sales hype and resultant more exposure and a likely more general interest. Think of the really popular visual artists and their respective market values. It's unusual for visual art to become widely known if it's not already made a sizeable splash in the market. As opposed to orchestral music which is initially played to an audience necessarily restricted by concert-hall attendance and maybe to a wider audience if broadcast but that's not going to be prime-time for new music at any time. Then the audience has the potential to grow if a recording is made, likely on a specialist label. Eventually it may get picked up and programmed amongst some of the more well known composers' works and get greater exposure. Sometimes it may be championed by a conductor but it's still not getting any kind of wide exposure so who's going to hear it or hear about it enough to generate interest to attend a concert even if it is programmed? That is a great photo

I'd recommend finding a reason to knock off early The brass arrangements of the Henderson "hits" are gorgeous

Erich Kleinschuster 6tet - ORF 1968-69, feat. Clifford Jordan, Charles Tolliver {WallenBink, UK 2022] first listen to the Jordan, sound is superb as is production quality of the sleeve. Music shines, Jordan in full effect

What a legacy, which will never die as long as people are listening to music

Lovely, thank you. I streamed 'Extensions' on my early morning walk in the park yesterday, ideal way to start a day. I'll pick another this morning

Dan hit a couple of bulls-eyes with the Tippett and Crispell, great albums both

Thank you!

From the blurb...the samples sound great " Recorded at the ORF studios in Vienna, where trombonist Erich Kleinschuster ran a very tight house band, a glittering array of guest leaders " and " Erich Kleinschuster’s projects and initiatives played a vital role in establishing a spiritual home for jazz in Vienna. The founding of his sextet in 1966 and, in 1968, a jazz department at the Vienna Conservatory, were catalysts for a scene that attracted international stars as well as nurturing the careers of home-grown virtuosos. Many jazz exiles, admired in Europe as they never were in the United States, settled for long periods, carving out new lives on the continent. The recordings in this series – many only recently discovered and presented for their first time on these vinyl editions – provide an illuminating and long overdue testament to one of the unsung forces of modern jazz in Europe." I suspect @soulpopemight be able to help us?

always happy to add a new Mangelsdorff to the collection but the clincher is the track by Zagreb Jazz Quartet whose album "With Pain I was Born" is a particular favourite. thanks @Rabshakehfor posting this recently. Also looking forward to collecting these from Honest Jon's this week
