That's a favourite

Same here. I'm tempted to watch but so many of Marquez's images are the product of my imagination I'm not sure I want to see someone else's interpretation. Having said that, just upthread I rave about the TV adaptation of the Mantel books that are also amongst my all time favourites

And here

Marlon Brando Jo Brand Brandy

Desmond Dekker The Clash Big Audio Dynamite

But the reviews on the linked page are just thumbnail reviews for the end of year list. He references the full reviews in a number of them. I've not gone on to read them but I think that's where criticism is probably more justly levelled, no? I've spent a fair amount of time with the Sorey, Kinoshi and Tomin, enjoyed each a lot and I think in these limited sketches he does well to capture some of their attributes. In mine too

Late as ever but very much enjoying 'Queen's Gambit'. And previously 'The Diplomat'. Neither fill the void left by the ending of 'The Mirror and The Light' but I'm not sure anything is going to. That was superlative television.

Patricia Brennan - Breaking Stretch

👍👍and therefore what an album. That may have been my entry point to Stanko (or perhaps Litania)

I thought this is an interesting and varied list. I was aware of maybe a third of them. I "saved" about a further five to my Tidal account for further investigation. I'm not sure the reviews have enough word count to be very informative or in depth but I use the links to BC to do my own reviewing and in that way I'm grateful for being alerted. It's good that the list isn't made up of too many established names (Halvorson, Parker , Sorey aside) that's how the genre grows and prospers with new listeners.

Calvin Weston Leslie West Maxine Peake

Sammy Davis Jr Junior Parker Kidd Jordan

Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone [ESP Disk, USA 1970 RE] My favourite Tyler, I think

Charles Tyler - Saga Of The Outlaws [Nessa Records, USA 1978] thanks to @Pim I'm reacquainting myself with this gem. A disadvantage of having lots of music is some very good stuff doesn't get played for a long time.

Gaetano Liguori Collective Orchestra - s/t [PDU, Italy 1976] thsi fair barrels along never gone right out but always flirting with it. I love it when a punt comes off

Gruppe Nuova Consonanza - Improvisationen [Deutsche Grammophon, Germany 1969] Jan Garbarek Quartet - Afric Pepperbird [ECM, Germany 1970 RE] The first two from today's delivery. Interestingly the first track on the Garbarek could almost appear on the Gruppe, if you stretch a bit. Maybe unsurprisingly given the provenance, both LPs sound and recording quality is magnificent

Nice one. When I was a music librarian I used to put lots of stickers and barcodes on sleeves and labels just like that. I also saw how the public used or misused the LPs so I think you're definitely lucky if that came from a public library. Or Charles Tyler just wasn't popular... I haven't listened to it in ages, maybe I should

Happy to subscribe

Could we arrange for your boss to talk to mine perhaps? Nice Xmas haul

Charles Lloyd and Tyshawn Sorey are both confirming his death on their social feeds. Great master, I only ever saw him with Lloyd but it was very memorable

Chet Kenny Anita

Yes, I recently, within the last 3 months, placed an order from the UK for one LP and 4CDs. Order was dealt with quickly and with no issues whatsoever. Products arrived sealed, as listed, and well packaged for a transatlantic trip. I would order from then again with no hesitation based on this experience.

€100!! Time to offload mine

Wasn't it just. Couldn't believe the reviews it received That's a great set and good news that there's more to come but I have to wonder why they didn't release it all in the first place
