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

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

Congratulations to you all! so that's why you were going to be busy... Mal Waldron, surely or has he absorbed enough of that already in the womb?

Anthony Braxton - Seven Compositions 1978 [Moers Music, 1980]

Lovely. Saw them perform it at Kings Place

Kochi - Wishes [East Wind, 1976] Kikuchi, Hino, Liebman, Mtume, Grossman, Lucas, Foster and Jackson hitting a very Milesian groove

Polly Jean Norma Jean Jean Cocteau

Is that album worth getting? Line-up certainly suggests so but I can't work out if it's a live recording and therefore potentially not great SQ

Marshall Allen's 97 and he recorded and released an album with the Arkestra last year

Smiley Culture Joseph Hill Mason Mount

LPs 7, 8 & 9. Such a great set, puts you right there

I remember buying that when it came out. Good times.
