back from Kahil El 'Zabar at Ronnies blues drenched

Gordoa/Malfon/Edwards/Narvesen - Substantial Myths {Sluchaj] Bourne/Karlsen - The Embalmer [Relative Pitch] by mistake! Challenger/Tremblay - Twill [Loop Collective] Will Guthrie - Nist nah [Black truffle] Sara Serpa - Recognition [Biophilia] and I'm just off to look for some Isaiah Collier having just seen he play with Kahil El 'Zabar

Warren Smith and Composer's Workshop Ensemble - Folks Song [Baystate, Japan 1978] always a terrific listen

I know Azymuth and enjoy what I've heard so will have a listen to Bertrami, thanks

Dick Griffin - The Eighth Wonder [Strata East, 1974]

Big for the Levin, don't know Bertrami at all, should I?

Albums that would have fitted squarely within the label's output and if they had been released by SE would have a commensurate cult following/value

Roy Ayers - Virgo Vibes [Atlantic, mono 1967] Another of those Strata East but not dates

whilst we're talking Ornette, 'Lonely Woman' does it for me and Carla Bley's 'Ballad Of the Fallen', Haden playing her 'Silence' too. Miles' 'He Loved Him Madly' and that's just for starters

Livestreams are good but never give a real indication I find. Decoy as a trio were on fire and I found myself focussing on them a bit more than McPhee's contributions in the first set - a 40 minute 'Tell me, how long has Trane been gone'. To my ears the quartet sounded more integrated in the second set. I just wish I'd been in the room where I'm sure McPhee's power (still, at his age) would have had a greater visceral impact

Some of those take me right back. Loved Light of the World at the time

For those interested, Café Oto are streaming the gig this evening. 8.15 UK time https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/decoy-joe-mcphee-residency-2/

I really rate that album

I purchased too. It's very good on first acquaintance

I'm just listening to the one piece available on Bandcamp. I think a download purchase is imminent.

Sounds great, shame it's on 577 rather than Matchless from a UK purchase perspective

We were still protesting against Barclays in SA when I was a student in early 80s

That Wadada Leo Smith evening, wish I could be there for that

I've just worked out I have 15 or so sections...I need help! That's just the LPs. And that's without a 'Zodiac' section (although I do have the Dankworth, great album) CDs are a little less diffuse

I admire this approach but honestly it gives me the collywobbles, I'm going to have to lie down. I'm like Hutchfan, if I like one album by an artist I invariably just have to have more. I have a shelving section specifically for albums that they are the only title by an artist I own, it's quite a small section. This week I bought my first Charlie Mariano and loved it so much I immediately bought another. I'd not even got close to fully absorbing the first. Duplicates, twice the fun!

This thread is making me feel better already...

Me too

Interesting to know, thanks. I like his solo recording on Hat

Jerzy Milian Trio - Baazaar [Polski Nagrania Muza, Poland 1970] Vibetastic!
