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

Nor is it Kobe van Cauwenbergh's first interpretation of Braxton https://allthatdust.com/releases/ghost-trance-solos/

A Grateful Nation - bye bye baby, baby bye bye

Of course, should have thought that. I've never heard that expanded release

Really, that's interesting, where can that be found?

Alternatively there's the European Son/Daughter Of CryptoAscension. Like many children a bit noisier and wilder

And I agree completely about 'The First Minute...'. So we have the same top three just in a slightly different order I find all of 'Winter in America' moving. This song just slays me every time

Rena Rama - New Album [Dragon, Sweden 1986] Dragon really pushing the boat out on graphic design and titling for this album. Not as good as the previous one posted, this may well go on the "to sell" pile.
