Can anyone recommend a Hermeto big band album to me?

That's a good album I'm reacquainting myself, after far too long, with Tomas Stanko New York Quartet - Wislawa Very strong

Grachan Moncur III - Evolution [Blue Note/Music Matters, 45rpm]

Yes but first listen again. Initial impressions are that it's nicely knotty. The version of 'Naima' could be three times longer it's that good.

Pat Martino - Consciousness [Muse]

Just put the LP of 'Consciousness' on the deck. Thanks for the nudge. RIP indeed

Giorgio Gaslini Big Band - Newport in Milan [OFF, Italy 1971]

Archie Shepp - Attica Blues [Impulse, 1972] Finally plugged the gap in the collection

I haven't thought about that album for years. Liked it when it came out

The new Nubya Garcia remix album is very good. Great scene at the moment, most vibrant I can remember it. Just too difficult to keep up! And, i wish i was 30 years younger to really enjoy it... On this now. thanks again!

Yes, I remember that now. New to me too. Either i hadn't been paying attention (most likely) or she came out of nowhere

Ha! I remember looking at that when it was pre-release and have forgotten about it until your post. Thnkas I'm on this, you know it? Same London scene really

The London Jazz Funk revival!

Philly-tastic

Thanks, yes I have managed to pick up a couple of AS releases from them. They go quickly. Glad you're enjoying it. It is s good one. That label has an impressive list.

Only had one listen. Struck me as an instrumental Soul album more than Jazz. Not a bad thing at all.

Yeah, well the flares were certainly wide

Now this Neal Creque - Creque [Cobblestone, 1972]

little trip to my local shop Herbie Mann - Monday Night At the Village Gate [Atlantic, UK 1966 mono] it must've been great to be in the room with this band

waiting for that to hit the UK. Bet it's good, the previous one was very good

Thanks for confirming. Just interested to know that my hunch was correct

I'm not a Facebook user but is it a discussion about how they were set to release it on LP and BN stepped in to do the job with the Tone Poet? I'm only guessing but elsewhere on the board someone mentioned a UK label was set to reissue it on LP and I thought it could be Wallen Bink.

Yes and yes! They have done a lovely job but it is definitely priced as "boutique" or perhaps for the foolhardy!
