This one https://www.discogs.com/release/14378272-Jamael-Dean-Black-Space-Tapes And if you like it then his more recent one, it's long and features vocals but I think it's very good https://www.discogs.com/release/21767839-Jamael-Dean-Primordial-Waters

They're all quite different in an ambient-y, not very Jazz way. I'd say each has a lot to recommend them but if you put a gun to my head to make me choose one then the latest Nino, the bottom one is the one to go for. I like Nino's output a lot. That west coast scene of which he appears a focus has some impressive players particularly Jamael Dean whose solo work is well worth investigating.

International Anthem this afternoon

Same here, the rendition of 'Case Of You' particularly

'Equilibrium' is just a terrific album. That Blue Series turned out some cracking music for a time

You sound quite moody about it 🙂 That's a good one

Can't but help think that the UK's Pat Thomas fits Moran's criteria pretty snugly

Pat Thomas & XT, Will Holder - "Akisakila"/Attitudes of Preparation (Mountains, Oceans, Trees) [Edition Gamut, Switzerland, 2022]

Clifford Jordan - Inward Fire [Muse, 1978] Clifford Jordan - In The world [Polydor, UK 1972] Dick Griffin - The Eighth Wonder [Strata East, 1974]

Not just both of you

That is very special This again. If Kamasi hasn't listened to 'Don't explain' from this album then my name isn't mjazzg

From that linked Discogs entry " The number 1213 is not a sequential number in the Kudu catalog. It is a combination of the catalog numbers assigned to the two albums that also were released separately: Soul Box Vol. 1 (KU 12) and Soul Box Vol. 2 (KU 13). "

'Trouble Man' is worth the entry price alone. I tend not to mind sprawling as there's always the potential for more delights to reveal themselves. Not on Yes 3LP sets, obviously

First ever listen to this following your advocacy @Rabshakeh sounding pretty perfect for a steamy London evening

I have the others too and agree about the Laswell/Graves set although the solo set is special too. I haven't gone for the drummers duets as I have a number of earlier releases with that format. I thought the String Qts would be something different, that was my self-justification anyway

Disc 6

My resistance didn't last very long

My SW facing kitchen hit 30C yesterday evening, no cooking, door open all day. A short trip to the shops yesterday reminded me of heat I'd felt in Aswan! No breeze at all, a slight one this morning for my 6.45 pre-work walk.

UK set to break 40C for first time today.

I wasn't overly impressed by the description of PB as a "sax scrawler" and FvH as a "piano pumeler", pretty reductive and not very respectful. That aside, a decent enough read

A very good album, I thought

How about I stream it? Will that be acceptable to everyone? Sigh

But if you have the first UK LP you can enjoy it just as it should be. Lovely listen, may just indulge myself post dinner. Music to cool a sweltering summer day in the city.

Long overdue a new one from Ms Wilson

That souylike a very difficult situation. Gilles Peterson has been sharing the Go Fund Me on Twitter, hopefully they'll be a good response
