I've flirted with buying that one. It definitely has something about it apart from the cover photo

Well, on first listen I'd agree with that I think. Obviously the sound isn't studio quality but hearing ALS played with this expanded band is fascinating. This is no straight run through of the studio album that's for sure. Now for something a bit different Nubya Garcia - Source + We Move [Concord Jazz]

I was just about to post the same about the Konitz. Quick look on Discogs suggests not currently available but I've not looked elsewhere

It better be, mine's sitting at the PO for collection tomorrow first thing

To understand an artist's development accurately perhaps. Which to some fans is an interesting aspect of following a musician's music. When you released "Before There was Sound" why did you choose that title other than to indicate where it sat chronologically? If that hadn't been any issue to anyone you could have titled it "Roscoe's Latest".

This again

do you know the Blackwell/Berger duet 'Just Play' on Emanem?

still remember buying this, 1981?!

Oh Yes!

Lucky you. End of the month I think for release. Made me revisit this one which is good

Just sampled the one available track on Bandcamp. Sounds great

Dee Dee Ramone Dee Dee Bridgewater Dee Dee Warwick

Yes, pleased so far. Now onto this Kahil El'Zabar - Spirit House [Spiritmuse, 2020] I saw El'Zabar and David Murray, who features on this, play a fantastic duet in the then newly opened Jazz Café. No licence, so only coffee, and only temporary heating but they raised the temperature. So this is a nostalgia purchase as much as anything.

New arrival no.2 Kahil El'Zabar - America The Beautiful [Spiritmuse Records, 2020] I'm not sure El'Zabar gets the notice of other AACM and Chicago musicians but this just drips that Chicago sound and is a lovely album. If 'How Can We Mend A broken Heart' isn't a tribute, subliminal or intentional, to Lester Bowie then I'm deaf.

Joe Harriott & John Mayer - Indo-Jazz Suite [Columbia UK, mono 1966] first listen to one of today's new arrivals. Good to find a nice and clean copy.

'J Mood' and 'Black Codes' were the two I bought at the time, relatively early in my Jazz journey. Enjoyed them both, 'J Mood' the most and haven't listened to them in 20 years. maybe they should be dusted down

I had no idea either, streaming it now. Sounds terrific. That voice

Thank you both. I'd spotted the trio albums as possibles so will duly investigate
