It is and it's sitting right here. I was at one of the nights

Another new release https://panafrikanpeoplesarkestra.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-widney-high-december-26th-1971 Rapidly becoming the most documented ensemble of the 70s

That's a good album I always want to like this more than I do. Just sounds a bit too restrained, not like when I saw a similar line-up at Oto.

Missed it, had a ticket but was unwell on the day. From that photo it doesn't look too crowded which is what I feared

I just happened upon it on a new release listing, it's being reissued. It's a "lost" TZ session where he foregrounds the horns more than usual. If you like your reggae dubby and hornsy, it's a winner. I've not listened to Zukie in about 40 years so it was a nostalgic listen too which may have coloured my response. Edit to add: I now realise that the image is really poor quality so you may have simply been asking for identification - Tapper Zukie 'Horns Up'

Lucky you! I'm also really looking forward to this release, any new Brahem music makes the world a better place Oh yes I remember those discussions, I think I started a new thread devoted to the ECM debate to take it out of the thread it bubbled up in. It was definitely very black and white, pro and con the label and Eicher's work/influence/interference. I was on the defend ECM side at the time and Berne's comments were very interesting indeed.

On that one track on Tidal so far. I'm interested to hear the rest

That's growing on me with every listen

Yes, space issues, fell in a cull. It wasn't the best quality pressing either which didn't help its cause. Mind you I also offloaded the similar one on Circle Records so maybe I was having a downer on Tidiane Fall last year...

I sold my copy of that last year, I now wonder if that was a good idea

Very wise words

Count me interested

That's a good album, I need to give it a spin

I wish he would come to London. One of the last of my true favourite musicians I've yet to see live. I suspect that at his age he prefers to stay relatively local which is very understandable

Jeez...I only asked about Soulpope

paul secor is still sorely missed here. I learnt about some great music from his posts

That sounds great Pim, an opportunity not to be missed I saw him with Lovens and Schlippenbach once and Lovens was fantastic. He doesn't travel much these days so Lytton usually makes up the trio over here. You'll just have to empty the bank account on Evan recordings before your wife goes shopping 😀

Theaster Gates - 1965: Malcolm In Winter: A Translation Exercise at the White Cube https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/theaster-gates-bermondsey-2025 Every time I see a Gates show it leaves a big impression, this did the same. Followed by, Picasso: Printmaker at British Museum https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/picasso-printmaker

That makes me feel young and old at the same time. I loved it on release

I wonder how mindful those of us with English as a first language (and yes that includes US English 😃) are of our friends who aren't posting in their first language, not least because their English is usually so good. It's so easy for nuance and subtlety to get lost online, even if we were all native speakers

That would be a great shame if so.

The Brass Company - Colors [Strata East, USA 1975]

I'd forgotten about that, a fine band
