How remiss now for something completely different The Cookers - Look Out! [Gearbox, 2021]

It is. Solo soprano recorded at William Morris Museum. According to the Bandcamp page it had a "trailing single" which I'm very surprised you missed https://byrdout.bandcamp.com/album/winns-win

Evan Parker - Winns Win [Byrd Out Records, 2021]

That really is good news, well spotted and thanks for posting the links.

LP 7. Harold Mabern!

Sonny Criss Orchestra - Sonny's Dream (Birth Of The New Cool) [Prestige, Germany 1968] Criss plays Tapscott

And that's before our self-induced Brexit import taxes. I'm hoping that some copies will make it to the UK retailers as they did with the last one.

Don't they realise we have lives to finance as well as our Tapscott obsessions?! 46 euros delivered to the UK, ouch!

my favourite Kirk

Eric Dolphy - Out There [Xtra, UK 1968]

Still working my way through the new James Moody pile James Moody - Another Bag [Argo, 1962 mono] this music just makes me smile. Tom McIntosh again.

Milt Jackson - And the Hip String Quartet [Verve Germany,1968) With this and my recent dive into James Moody I'm seeing the name Tom McIntosh a lot. I need to find out more about him

I'm going out on a limb here and jumping some decades but David Sanborn on 'Young Americans' fits the bill for me. And Sanborn with Players Association or is that Disco Saxophone?

First run through, onto LP2 side 1. Maupin on bass clarinet is almost worth the entry price alone. It's become so ubiquitous to be meaningless now I think

Thanks Pim. It was a great listen and great fun trying to identify things. I shall now go back and relisten with new knowledge. I'm surprised that no.2 is Taborn who I tend to really like and with Sorey too. no.9 was the one I was really taken by (apart from Bonner which everyone liked) and it was no.9 that I was going to buy when I knew who it was. But, I have it! Zimpel had a run of very good albums in that period. He seems to have moved to more electronics based music now. As for Angles 9, I think that they are very much Martin Kuchen's band who is a fascinating musician working across a very wide spectrum of Jazz and free improvisation. Angles 9 is definitely one of his more accessible projects and a great band at that. Nice couple of eastern European curveballs too. @Rabshakeh posted a Szabados in 'listening now' recently and that reminded me about him but I never followed it up.

Me too

"Free limited edition ostentatious watch with first 10,000 copies" meanwhile James Moody - Hey! it's [Argo, 1960 mono] suit, no watch

I hadn't spotted that but I definitely remember everyone was suddenly wearing suits to perform - Steve Williamson, Courtney Pine, Jason Rebello, Tommy Smith etc etc. it was like they'd all discovered Moss Bros overnight. And what was Wynton always seen wearing? It's all his fault yet again

Johnny Lytle - The Loop [Tuba Records, 1966 mono] 'the "IN" sound of vibes & organ' - so it says and so it is

I might still have the suit. Whether I can get into it is another matter

You will not be disappointed. Money well spent!

It's solo. Uses the full range of the bass, some extended techniques but fundamentally melodic, lots of space. Very spiritual if you read the sleeve notes, inspired by his faith which I think is transmitted in the music. Many might call it "Spiritual" because of the label it's on, I won't. This was my first listen and I'm pleased I bought it. I think it will get many more outings Now I'm on another new arrival Anthony Williams - Life Time [Blue Note, Liberty 1971] sounds great, what a band That's good to hear. Mine's on order with a UK source, hopefully turns up soon. Very pleased that they repressed. Also, you have lots of lovely spare room to fill on those shelves....

Now one of today's arrivals Chico Hamilton Quintet - Ellington Suite [World Pacific Records, 1959 mono] And now another Roberto Miguel Miranda - The Creator's Musician [Nimbus, 1980]
