Sault - Untitled (Rise)

Brother Ah - Divine Music [Manufactured Recordings] currently 'Meditations', previously 'The Sea' Each time I play LPs from this box I enjoy them more. A great collection.

I thought that was pretty good. Interesting response in the comments from Mr. Spillett about recognising that Tubby was no saint. No surprise to see Mr. Weller as an exec producer. Glad to know my Jam and Style Council purchases are being put to good use

Order placed. Thanks for highlighting it's existence. The LP is evidently not taken from the performance below but unclear if it's from another performance or from a studio. I'm sure LP sleeve will reveal all on arrival.

Excellent choices. I can vouch for all but about three of them for what that's worth. The Battaglias and Saluzzis are real gems from two of ECM's lesser profile artists. Enjoy!

I bought that yesterday. Eagerly awaiting its arrival

Performance here

John Coltrane - Giant Steps [Atlantic, mono reissue] Chad Taylor - Myths & Morals [earsandeyes Records] Eric Thielemans - Sprang [Miasmah] Laurence Pike - Prophecy [Leaf]

No reply to my email so far...

I'm holding out for European distribution

Thanks for the link. I shall be placing an order for this.

Cue disbelief and outrage in equal measure

Ruby Rushton - live stream from Ronnie Scott's. Very impressed, their albums have seemed a little undercooked, this isn't

This is on Discogs with a 2020 date and no copies for sale yet. "The HOSTIPITALITY SUITE developed from a sonic live deliberation during SAVVY Contemporary’s 2018 project WHOSE LAND HAVE I LIT ON NOW? Contemplations on the Notions of Hospitality. In our effort to reflect on the complex entanglements between hostility and hospitality, Jacques Coursil together with Marque GIlmore proposed a phonic scope and a sonic scape. Choosing the path of music, and jazz for that matter, seemed to be a possibility of negotiating those spaces between guest, host and ghost. An extended conversation developed and found its way on this record."

Tease

Joseph Jarman, Don Moye - Earth Passage - Density [Black Saint] Joseph Jarman, Don Moye - Black Paladins [Black Saint] Joseph Jarman, Anthony Braxton - Together Alone [Delmark]

Not until my 2LPs have at least arrived! Would love the Elvin Mosaic Looks like they have restocked too. Don't remember LRG being there on my last visit

All by 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, impressive! Nice selection. 'Black Palladins' is such a great album. Honest Jons? Yesterday...all online Elvin Jones - Live At The Lighthouse. LP, been meaning to buy this for ages. Yesterday was the day. Emma Jane Thackeray - Um Yang. 12" EP, enjoyed her previous releases and this sounded great on the radio Hozan Yamamoto - Ginkai. One of my favourite albums ever. CD to back up my LP and to hear if it works any better as one 'suite'

Interesting, I like a lot of that, just sometimes it sounds affected where the technique gets in the way and becomes too prominent rather than serving the musical idea and flow (something I've always heard in Peter Evans too, too clever by half. less is often more Peter) I'll be investigating this recording more. Thanks I rather suspect this won't change anyone's mind, whichever side of the fence they're standing. But I like it.

On Spotify

So was I. First time I'd done so for a couple of years. I always spot the bass solo not only because of it's musicality but also because my LP gets a bit crackly at that point and I always think I need to upgrade. Another great loss, as evidenced not least by felser's list up thread

Both look very tasty from here, Cheers!

Thanks for reposting this. An ideal soundtrack to the thread

OK, so now I"m giving 'On the tender spot....' that further listen. The first track is very strong indeed, the shift from improv to Latin is great. Second track sounding good too, dense, lots to absorb. Looking forward to listening to the rest now. This is reminding me why I rated the early albums.

I may just have to accept the inevitable...
