Cool as Fuck And, thank you TTK for remembering

John Graas - Jazz Lab 1 [Brunswick, UK 1956]

It's a bit messy but has an atmosphere. Gardens was quite an early purchase for me so it's held dear. now on something somewhat different. I was hoping it would be a bit more noir than it is

First listen to this, interesting

I'd take an LP's worth of 'Neophilia' any day of the week

Crikey! nice one. Where did you find it in stock in the UK? I'm someone who finds the 3CD version more than enough so I can happily sit this one out I think

Order placed along with the Mike Taylor RSD. Good old Juno

Yes, a good place to start with them. It gives a nice flavour of them individually. Musson is a recent discovery for me, she plays with Pat Thomas and released a very good solo recording Dreamsing not so long ago. Brice can be heard to good effect on his quintet albums as a writer as well as player. His duos with Tom Challenger are worth hearing too. I think Musson, Brice and Challenger are all worth following. A youngish (from where I look at least) generation nicely established.

I think I agree with that. I've not enjoyed rather than admired an Iyer release since before 'Break Stuff' except of course the duo with Wadada. (I'm not one to countenance the 'curse of Manfred Eicher' but it's making me wonder) Maybe I should break out the Fieldwork albums for a dusting down. They were great, maybe the still are Two musicians I've enjoyed apart from each other coming together very nicely here

thanks, order will be placed. Is there any listings of what's coming after Dejeuner yet? They really should set a subscription for this series

Thanks, pending surgery so no Covid thankfully

Unfortunately ill-timed as I've entered self-isolation. It'll be snapped up by the time I'm able to make a trip there again. Not the end of the world really. It's a great cover

I know, bloody hipsters listening to Jazz, it was all so much easier 20 years ago. I assume it's up to standard?

That's good to hear, thanks

Went to HJ at Kings X for that this morning, they sold the last copy yesterday - bastards! May have to order from Amazon now...

Amen to that. I suspect Paul Secor might also have had useful input, equally missed.

I had the LP in my hands earlier today and put it back in the rack. Mistake I suspect?

It's on Tidal in the UK for those so inclined and located

Enoch Methusaleh Marshall Allen

Masahiko Togashi - Rings [East West, 1976] sublime solo percussion, thanks to @Niko for posting some of it recently

It's worth a listen, possibly as driving over the bridge

And we talk about vaccine hesitancy today!
