    Sonny Simmons - Ancient Ritual [Qwest] thanks to felser for highlighting this and prompting my purchase

    Often wondered about his India Navigation release. I'd pick it up if I saw it

    Terumasa Hino - Love Nature [Octave Lab/Ultra-Vybe] reissue sounds good but an odd decision not to replicate the original sleeve's player/recording credits

    We haven't managed to learn the mistakes made in our country let alone any others. Being led by incompetent fools doesn't help that situation much

    I'm a big fan of that Jordan too, like it more than the hallowed 'Glass Bead Games'. Also own the 'dopey but considerably cheaper' Polydor version, the art department must have been on holiday or on something that day. I need to get the Murray out again soon too

    Just listened, another great programme, thank you. It's great to learn the context for such terrific music. Bring on the sequel! Can i ask which release you were playing 'sounds of nature' from? was it the Fresh Sound compilation?

    Very much looking forward to hearing this

    I was at that gig, not doing my taxes

    Now just finished watching the Leimert Park film. What a great watch with such inspiring sentiments and actions but sadly falling foul of that international cycle whereby artists are replaced by property developers. The amount of music credited to "The Tapscott family" makes me hopeful that there's a lot more that could see the light of day, if they so choose. And finally I understand why his album is titled 'Aieee! The Phantom'. Thanks again for highlighting this gem

    Tentet at Oto, easily one of the concerts of my life too. As Steve says, ten feet away.

    My first exposure to larger group PB. What an introduction, great set. I wonder if this points to more reissues of the Okka catalogue. A fine catalogue to investigate.

    One of my favourite bands at the time. 'Rip It Up' was a constant soundtrack.

    Thanks for the notice. I've always wanted to attend Vision, now I get a virtual opportunity. Thankfully streams are available for 24 hours so i won't need to stay up all night. Purchased a Saturday ticket. Keen to see Amina Claudine Myers who I've never seen live.

    You were my banker on this...

    RIP. I saw their first UK concert, promoting the first album too. Rainbow Theatre, north London. Blew me away.

    Whilst we're on the subject of solo saxophone, this hit the spot https://smallscalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/le-territoire-de-lanche

    Thank you for reposting that. I found it very informative and really rather moving. I've had the Iosardi book unopened for years, I need to remedy that. I've now got the Leimert Park film lined up on Vimeo too. I knew nothing about that.

    Well that makes me feel a whole lot better... Yeah, I forgot the Red Trio (great trio) collaborations. I have 'Empire'.

    Vinny Golia

    mjazzg replied to Rabshakeh's topic in Artists

    Yes, I think i can hear how the layers will reveal themselves over time. There's lots going on. Thanks for the recommendations, I have 'Facts Of Their Own Lives' and my enjoyment of that helped prompt the purchase of the 3LP set. I can safely say I've never seen a Golia CD in a shop in the UK, except maybe the Clean Feeds.

    Now I like SY as much as the next person and more than many and I thought this might be an interesting experience to see how Thurston interacted with such high calibre improvisors. Well, he decided to just play very loudly over them for the entire gig. No concept of listening whatsoever. A shame and a missed opportunity.
  24. mjazzg
    Thanks. I'll investigate those two. I hear all that but what I never get beyond is the technique. I find him a very cold player but that's just how I hear it, I appreciate that.

    RIP indeed. It was the middle of a heatwave I remember that much and they kept the doors open, thankfully. My non-Jazz fan friends never seem to say 'Yes' when I suggest a similar outing...see what they miss!
