Elton Dean's Ninesense - Happy Daze [Ogun, UK 1977]

It is, isn't it? So many great players on it. Nick Evans is really standing out on this listen. The notes say that the selections are taken from 2.5 hours of playing, that would've been some gig

I hope you like it

If only they realised. But they do need us to hoover up all the L and over stock

Elton Dean's Ninesense - Oh! For The Edge [Ogun, UK 1976] Rambunctious music making

Or Larry Young's 'Into Somethin'' hey, a whole new thread "Trying to help out Uniqlo by suggesting designs"... In fact, thinking about a couple of them I've had for some years they do exactly as you suggest. My favourite is Anthony Willams' 'Spring' which simply has a horizontal thick orange stripe across the chest with the text across the top of that and the 'Let freedom Ring' design has no borders, just the text/design over a white tee.

I hate trying to describe music - Ethio Jazz keyboards with horn choruses, some solos. Has a laidback funkiness to it with some almost Middle-eastern touches. Sits somewhere between Atstatke, something on Brownswood Records and bizarrely Khruangbin. It really grew on my through the album. Ideal summer music, I'd say Better than taking my words for it

first listen, impressed

Muse LPs have appeared as reissues a fair bit over the last decade or so, I'm never sure of their provenance though. They look like Muse, the sound like Muse but who's behind them I have no idea. I see this listing has Muse as the label rather than a reissue label so it could be the same with this. It's a great album. I see I started this thread, well I ended up investing in the original LP and never regretted it

I think that Pharoah's current currency amongst those lucky youngsters also owes something to the influence of Gilles P and his ilk. There's quite an established Jazz/dance crossover appeal for the later post-Impulse dates amongst that crowd which I think filters through to younger DJs/taste influencers today. I could of course be completely wrong... 'Promises' really worked for me but not as a Jazz album per se which is where I think some of the stick came from. Also helps that I rated Floating Points beforehand. Also, to keep thread relevant, I have five Uniqlo BN or Prestige t-shirts bought over the years.

The John Handy Quintet - The 2nd John Handy Album [CBS, UK 1966] Great band but Michael White!

An education, as ever. Thank you. Particularly taken by the spoken word tracks and the Handy which sent me straight to taking that album off the shelf.

Kahil El'Zabar Quartet - A Time For Healing [Spiritmuse, UK 2022] Grachan Moncur III - Shadows [Denon, Japan 1977]

Daniel Villarreal - Panama 77 [International anthem, US 2022] one of this year's best for me, so far

I'd completely forgotten about Luna. I liked the first post Galaxie 500 release a lot at the time. Time to reacquaint myself maybe

This is sad news indeed. She was one of the few Jazz musicians I knew in the days when I didn't listen to Jazz, I think because of her fairly regular appearances on the BBC - do I remember a 'Rock Goes To College' or similar broadcast

Perhaps not quite but still worth your attention I'd suggest Nat Birchall Sextet - Exaltation, Live In Athens, vol.1 {Parafono Records, UK 2020]

Two, you missed them... https://www.bluenote.com/artist/rosanne-cash/

Tom van der Geld & Children At Play - Patience [ECM, Germany 1978]

Van Der Geld's a bit of a sleeper in the ECM/Japo catalogues. All his releases are well worth hearing I think

I really rate these two https://www.discogs.com/release/20975248-Malcolm-Jiyane-Umdali https://www.discogs.com/release/23687426-Tumi-Mogorosi-Group-Theory-Black-Music

I think the slew of boxsets were all part of the lead up to his 75th birthday celebrations, some of them were delayed by Covid as were some of the slated celebrations But I could be wrong.

Yes, a good one. I've never been disappointed by Taylor on record or live. Guaranteed satisfaction
