Just one for me today Sabir Mateen 'Creation' on 577. Edit to correct the autocorrect. Although I quite liked Sabine Mateen

Great, thank you

I agree about Thomas. The two recent releases on Otoroku on which he features are both worth investigating. The duo with Matana Roberts and the Black Top https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/somegoodnews/ That Local's sounds great fun

What else by him would you recommend CT, or others?

I've had a couple of LP deliveries from EU and both have arrived quickly and without any extra payment. Looks like it's the old "will it, won't it" jeopardy as with customs charges from US

That's Vimeo. So the reissue sounds better than the original?

They did, there's a clip of the shop in one of the Sun Ra films, 'A Joyful Noise' iirc

Here it is. This is the video that persuaded me to buy a copy last year

Like that music, a lot

Great music from Jaimie Branch, available for another 24 hours https://www.eventbrite.com/e/jaimie-branch-trio-and-theo-darst-afa-on-line-salon-tickets-142760920757

Tomorrow, 5/3

I'd forgotten he was on that Lloyd, time to revisit

Lanquidity box set now up for pre-order at Strut's Bandcamp https://sunrastrut.bandcamp.com/album/lanquidity-definitive-edition

Sad news. 'Sings the Wailers' was a big album for back in the 80s

Bingo!

Just listened to David Murray's 'Deep River' and 'Ballads', the only time I saw Ralph Peterson Jr. was with Murray. He was great then and he stokes these two recordings whether playing hot or cool.

Oh no! Hadn't listened to him in a while but his BN dates were great. He had some fine players on those dates.

American Gods, season two, just started. Loved the book and this adaptation is keeping my eye ntetedt despite some longueurs.

2LP version

Just read about the extra tracks. I'm happy to buy vinyl but the cost with postage to UK is £49 which means they've got be a great 20 minutes!

Really enjoyed from Elmhurst University Jazz Festival Ryan Truesdell's Gil Evans Project presents Birth of the Cool

Channelling the earlier ECM cover design, using Rainbow studio and Jan Erik Kongshaug, from 2015. inspired by the 'Ondas' discussion elsewhere. Very good indeed The follow-up ECM that never was Hutchfan? On Bandcamp here https://fwmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/beginning-and-end-of-knowing

Nor me but my impression, and it's only an impression as I haven't looked anything up, is that ECM didn't make many recordings outside their favoured studios in those days (still only a small handful) so if he was back in NZ or Australia maybe Manfred couldn't find a studio he liked or couldn't be bothered to look

Interesting, thanks. I'm tempted

I didn't know that. Did Nock stay in Europe or go home I wonder.
