And how Wright is as much a rhythm player as the "rhythm section". The build up and then delay of release is great fun throughout too. To my ears it's very original, I can't think of any obvious direct precursor, influences yes as you identify

Release of the year in these parts

Top 5 album of the year for me (yes, I like an EoY list). Evidently he recently broke his arm which isn't great

That's been popping up in end of year lists, must give it a listen

😃

Had, I suspect. I sold it to them a few months ago

Did you buy that in Atlantis by any chance? Oh just noticed we're not spinning vinyl

Loved it

Dwight Yoakam - Brighter Days

Someone might have had a word about the vocal

Not FMP and not one I know but tangentially relevant, Aguirre are reissuing 'Patterns'. https://www.aguirrerecords.com/products/noah-howard-patterns-lp?srsltid=AfmBOopdj-Uem9z3xaxsyO4ejHO4a8l2vxAnR9_tFa5juwIhobZbZxfR

This is really good. I get the frustrations about the fade outs.

Natalie Merchant Peter Sellers Pet Shop Boys

Brötzmann, Amadou, Noble - B.A.N.

Thanks, I will hunt it down for a stream. I realise I was thinking of another David Lee, a bass player with the Bill Smith Ensemble.

Evolution' is a super deep, ‘lost classic’ radical and groundbreaking deep spiritual jazz album, apparently. I definitely know his name, can't think from where at the moment

Yes no worries about Trost. They've done a great job on Brötzmann's catalogue amongst others. They often had a stall at Oto for PB's gigs They're also not afraid to reissue less obvious artists/titles, for instance Kowald. Top quality

I loved the first three Yoakam albums at the time. Even got to see him once. We drifted apart as the 90 came along. I see he released an album this year, I might just have to reacquaint myself

Tomin on International Anthem, both of them The Ahmed 5CD set Braxton's Lorraine box set The 1960s recordings of Giorgio Gaslini Tony Oxley on Incus The Jazz Epistles Jorga Mesfin https://jorgamesfin.bandcamp.com/album/the-kindest-one Tamar Osborn, in Collocutor, Unknown to Known and with Idris Rahman https://mapsforgettinglost.bandcamp.com/album/lightship The Awen Ensemble https://awenensemble.bandcamp.com/album/cadair-idris And buying my first two Duke Ellington albums (yes, I know...) And quite a lot of kora and oud music It's been a good listening year

Very much enjoyed his performances on a number of JMT releases when I was first listening to Jazz. Saw him in London a couple of times. He was definitely an original and interesting player.

Justin Timberlake River Phoenix Wet Wet Wet

Doug Carn w. Jean Carn - Spirit Of The New Land [Black Jazz Records, USA 1972] finally filled a big whole in the collection

I'm pleased to hear Lavazza worked for you. I had a great decaff at one of my favourite shops this morning, U Roast coffee beans

Very envious. I'll check out the album, thanks. It was around then I discovered them. They've fallen off my radar for many years until last year when they played London but I couldn't make the date.

Side 2 of that is stone cold masterpiece. Side 1's pretty useful too
