Don Cherry - Mu pt.1& pt.2. BYG Japan 2LP About time I had a nice copy of this rather than an old CD version of dubious provenance

Thanks for mentioning all of them from two very different 'scenes', I think Jennifer Allum could be added to the second group of names. My straightahead tip, I'm really enjoying Josephine Davies' Satori albums https://josephinedavies-whirlwind.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-corners-of-clouds I've enjoyed listening to Tori Freestone and Trish Clowes from Sidewinder's list. To which we could add Alcyona Mick

It's quite a range but amongst those I have and enjoy these should give you an idea (and you get a Lotte Anker bonus too) https://www.discogs.com/master/1325006-Sylvie-Courvoisier-Abaton https://www.discogs.com/release/1748364-Lotte-Anker-Sylvie-Courvoisier-Ikue-Mori-Alien-Huddle https://www.discogs.com/release/9531356-Sylvie-Courvoisier-Mary-Halvorson-Crop-Circles Ikue Mori too

Anyone mentioned Sylvie Courvousier? Impressive catalogue, ECM to Relative Pitch via Intakt

My only surprise really was that I couldn't believe that anyone who has followed jazz/improv at all closely in the last ten years wasn't aware of so many female artists that have had high profiles in that time. I'm absolutely all for highlighting them and redressing the balance but I just feel there must have been some blinkers in place to have missed them all in the first place. I think Nicole Mitchell speaks a lot of sense and walks that talk. All power to her.

I'll admit to thinking similarly when it appeared but folk seem to be getting something from it

More Tubby imminent by the looks of things

I know you didn't ask me but if I may, for Anker I enjoy. This band also have a very good Leo release called 'Triptych' I think I've only heard Rasmussen with the Fire! Orchestra and possibly PN-L's Large Orchestra

Bad Bad Not Good - Talk Memory [XL Recordings, 2021]

I saw her a couple of years ago, fantastic. I wasn't aware of the January date. I know what you mean about the cost of her recordings Or Satoko Fuji edit to add: Schneider ticket duly booked, thanks for the reminder

How could I forget... Irene Schweizer, Maggie Nicols, Julie Tippets all from a slightly older generation but still very much active. I fear this thread may need some focus from the OP or it's going to be a long list which isn't a bad thing in itself but may not meet his requirements

That's a very nice selection. Did she like them? Myra Melford, Kris Davis, Maria Schneider, Anna Weber, Jamie Branch, Laura Kinsella, Patricia Brennan, Magda Mayas, Susana Silva Santos, Lisa Uhlen, Julie Kjaer and that's without thinking too hard. All released interesting music recently. There's lots more I'm forgetting I'm sure. Not least Elaine Michener

That's very good indeed and Shocron should maybe be mentioned in @David Ayers new thread about women improvisors. she has some very good releases on the Argentiniain label Nendo Dango https://nendodango.bandcamp.com/album/algo-en-un-espacio-vac-o

Yes, I could reel off a list of female artists from the last 20 years too, and before. I hope your aunt enjoyed the selection. Prompted by a post from @Rabshakeh in the listening now thread, Paula Shocron

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Rachael Musson in a number of interesting groups and solo. Also, introduced to the work of Charlotte Keefe. Both on BC I've been eyeing up that Gail Brand recording for a while

That looks like an interesting project. I don't know Sandford. Just found it to stream so listening now. I thought it was collection of Bowie's tunes but I realise it isn't that now, a shame as that would have been a really interesting idea.

Sometimes only Gregory will do. Today's one of those times

Giorgio Gaslini Sestetto - Free Actions [Dischi Della Quercia, Italy 1978]

Your search skills are better than mine. 14 years dormant, needs some attention methinks

Sounds like we need a SA Jazz thread

Yes, just discovering it. Seems to be a lot of good music, old and new out of SA at the moment. Needs further investigation. Any tips gratefully received especially for new recordings. Next up is Ndabo Zulu & Umgidi Ensemble

staying in SA

Gideon Nxumalo on Matsuli

Both very good in very different ways. The Roscoe is "musical pointillism" if I were sat in Pseud's Corner. Very deliberate use of space/time, lots of single notes from saxophone and/or the percussion. All sounds very organic. I haven't enjoyed a RM release as much on first listen for ages. I knew Mortazavi from his last solo album so was intrigued by the addition of beats. Works really well and is short and sweet at just over 20 minutes. It's on Tidal and Spotify. I do like the Navarro/Holmes a lot despite it always sounding too short or unfulfilled in some way. What makes you of it? The
