This looks like an absolute treasure trove, so well produced. With thanks to @Clunky

Yes, I only came across it when a friend recommended it and I've seen nothing anywhere about it. My search turned some nice SA coverage but nothing elsewhere, iirc. Shame there's only the download, it merits a physical copy (which dates me horribly, I realise)

It's great isn't it

I couldn't agree more. The only work of Carla Bley's I can't warm to. I'd be interested to see the age demographic of those that think of it so highly. To my ears it's in the style of those Rock albums that justified Punk

Craig Harris - Aboriginal Affairs [India Navigation, 1983]

I really enjoyed this BFT, nicely off the beaten track and good to have some European focus too. Obviously difficult to ID but there was fun to be had trying. thanks for putting this selection together. I now have a couple of new to me musicians to investigate

either of these, in this order. I'm only at the start of my investigations though

Yes, agree the cover photo's not the most enticing. The music's great though, to my ears On to this now, nicer cover Umezu-Harada Duo - Danke [Next Wave, Japan 1981] I've been tracking down more Umezu recordings recently, he's good

Akira Sakata Trio - Dance [Enja, Germany 1982]

Ken McIntyre - 'Way, 'Way, Out [United Artists Records, 1963] This is such a good album. Purchase inspired by a post in the 3rd Stream thread. I need to investigate McIntyre as a leader more deeply

Not quite as good as the sum of its parts might suggest but a solid, enjoyable listen. https://youtu.be/1AWRdYWmEyI

The New York saxophone Madness - Danjiri [CAC Records]

Ñew name to me, a recommendation. If you see the LP buy me a copy

I'm a fan but 'Origami Harvest' lost me and the double live album was too long. The earlier albums I think are very impressive. Saw the quartet at Ronnie's just pre-Covid and it was intense, took no prisoners.

more great SA Jazz

I listened to my only Tim Buckley today because of this discussion and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks gents

Fantastic memory. Did you have to be 21 to get in? Thankfully no age limits over here, although I was past 21 by the anyway. I never saw the Replacements either. Saw Bob Mould and Sugar and Paul Westerberg solo. Always late to the party!

And just think, it's only going to get worse as a proportion of those currently happy with a DMM purchase will learn more about King, Toshiba and even Liberty pressings and enter that market too, we're doomed

I think this is it. Lots of new customers entering the market with a limited knowledge alongside shops and sellers happy to exploit the situation. A DMM to a new LP collector in their early 30s was released before they were born and may well have that 'vintage' cachet. It's easy enough to sneer (not suggesting you are at all Daniel A) but we were all new to this once. My first BNs were DMMs because they had just been released and as far as I knew at the time that was Blue Note records. Still got a few, still play them too. But I'll not be paying upwards of £50 for any although I may sell them at that price

Not a name I know. Couldn't have done it without Ubu!

It's a big regret that I never saw them and they weren't rare visitors here. I shall timewarp with that video, thanks

I'm prepared to be in the minority but that top track is really good even if it does sound more like it's from a Hyman than Tyner album. Makes me want to hear the rest of the album.

I bought it unheard because of the Gil Scott-Heron continuum. I really like it and had no idea about the barber angle which makes me like it more. I was listening to the Jayne Cortez with Richard Davis, I'm assuming that's in the same continuum for you. Also, we both like Ursula Rucker I believe, continuum's continue
