Ha! Roscoe or Anthony?

😂👍 There's at least one other Nimbus West reissue that's cut the same, Jesse someone. I think it's Outernational Sounds or similar name that does them like that

Just started Louise Erdrich - The Night Watchman Prompted by a jhoots post a while back

Has Matt Shipp upset him?

Ouch! But Stanko, only just Jarrett's American or European Quartet?

I found the coverage of that in the Sites Ra Chicago book fascinating as I'd not come across it previously. Or I had if Szwed covers it but many years ago and it was lost to me by now

Terrific band whatever Pitchfork are saying. Great live too, playing London in November Exactly. I couldn't agree more

Me too now. Streaming Disc 1. First impression is how much clearer the sound is compared to my 3CD version.

Saxophonist with Irreversible Entanglements, and more, but that's how I came across him

A good listen, thanks. Duly wishlisted. It reminded me in part of this which I really rate https://newatlantisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ceremonies-out-of-the-air

Nubya! for that London sound... Moses Boyd or Tom Skinner?

Thanks for this. For a musician who is very easy for me to see live I've not really investigated his recorded catalogue. I shall take some pointers

John Cage Damon Locks Alicia Keys

Thanks

I've not heard the name before. If you're on a solo sax thing at the moment let me recommend 'Dreamsing' by Rachel Musson. https://577records.bandcamp.com/album/dreamsing And no, I'm not her agent or family...

Ideal work soundtrack Just reading about this, "provocative aplomb" sounds intriguing.

Yep. It's almost a Jazz album. Morrison gave them little direction in the studio.

Sounds like a perfect Sunday plan to me, it's odd how records have a habit of inveigling themselves into such plans. I didn't know Thomas was in the Wire, I'll buy that although I find much of the magazine has left me very far behind. Oto certainly seem to have invested in the book angle a lot over the last year. I'll admit to looking at many of the titles with a dread feeling of 'whoosh; thanks for the reassurance

This really is shaping up to be a special release on initial play through the 4 discs

That's a good 'un indeed. I haven't had it out for a while, is it cut at 45rpm for supposed better SQ? I never think to go to Oto to shop... In which case the £55 I just paid is a steal!

I found a UK stockist for a lot less than £75 from Sam and have pre=ordered myself. I agree about the samples. I'm not sure why I expected you to know if it was good if you'd just purchased it

Got it, fickle fancy of social media folk eh? I've never really enjoyed anything by Beresford but Pat Thomas, definitely. What would you recommend of Beresford's for me to have another try?

I agree about Astral Spirits and I'd go for over saturation. Like other labels (Clean Feed?) when release schedules rachet up I suspect the eyes/ears that took care initially start to look elsewhere in the operation. Just guessing. But I'm not sure I hear much crossover between AS and International Anthem, different musical perspectives to my ears. Best thing I've heard is recent Tom Challenger. Not stellar but very good. And this https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/di-logos There's been some good stuff from the Argentine label NendoDango which features Diaz and Shocron from above

£75 outstanding? Ouch! the samples sound great mind you
