I don't know La Chouffe but I'm intrigued now. Looks like it might be available here too

Three tracks into my first listen and he sounds in good voice. The lyrics on this small sample seem lazy. I like the vibes on track 3. Only 25 tracks to go! And, it's only vol 1...

Family - Anyway Rediscovering this long buried gem after a friend sent me this. One of greatest Rock vocalists alongside a multifaceted band, rock vibes!

Giancarlo Schiaffini - Jazz A Confronto 5 [Horo, 1973]

Lol Coxhill, Andrea Centazzo, Giancarlo Schiaffini - Moot [Ictus, 1978] Surprisingly fitting Rugby League watching soundtrack

Steve Lacy, Andrea Centazzo, Kent Carter - Trio Live [Ictus, 1977]

Sadly not. I'd approve of the chair if it were mine too

Russell Harty Thomas Partey Moriarty

John Snow Ed Balls Joe Cocker

I've no evidence to suggest otherwise but you never know these days...

Thanks, that's just about a description of my situation too

Do you have Passing Ships on CD to make a comparison? I'm very tempted by the LP as I have appreciated other Tone Poets.

Yes, that's about it, shakuhachi all the way. It is an energetic live recording. Great band. "Full on" might be overstating it a bit it's not Brotzmann-esque this should give you an idea

Steve Lacy - Outings [Ismez, 1986]

Whitcomb L. Judson Samuel L. Jackson Farrell Sanders

Emeric Pressburger Michael Powell Colonel Blimp

Natural Information Society with Evan Parker - descension (Out Of Our Restrictions) [Eremite, 2021] I was there the night this was recorded at Oto, this excellent recording takes me straight back there. Great music making by all involved. and beforehand Andrew Hill - Hommage [East West, 1975] big thanks to HutchFan (again!) for recent prompt to fill this hole in my Hill collection.

This is such a shame and sadly what I expect my reaction will be if and when I listen to this latest album. I've cooled towards his recordings over the last 20 years but thought 'Keep Me Singing' was the first in some time that was consistently good. Your description "I have loved Van's music as it has brought me joy and helped heal me when I needed it. It has energized me and calmed me. He's transported me away from my problems and helped me face them as well. His music has been a source of inspiration and enjoyment for me for years." very eloquently my feelings about so much of his music. Given that, I think I may just save myself the pain and not bother even trying the new one. Just imagine it never existed.

I think we're probably all crashing off the rails in the face of a Braxtonian deluge...
