I used to have the LP and I'm not sure I do anymore. At the time it was a band a favourite players, especially Gary Thomas. How's it sounding today? Edit to add: found it in the "reserve collection" cupboard, now playing here too

Maybe so but if you hadn't read that previous thread, as I hadn't then it's not that surprising. Not all of us read all the threads 😄

Yes, that's what I suspect. She seems to have a fairly large discography Now onto Alvin Batiste - 'Bayou Magic' Excellent

Doreen's Jazz New Orleans - Vol.V, Mama Don't Want I have no idea if this is a good example of NO jazz but I'm enjoying it especially the clarinet and tuba. Seems to have a number of the "hits" on it which makes me wonder what audience it's aimed at

It's worth tracking down

Cassandra Wilson - Newyorker In A Sentimental Mood [JAL Strato Sound, Japan 1985] Perfect for a sunny Sunday evening. Wondering if our other resident Cassandra fan @jazzbo knows this one? A recent discovery for me.

I'm still to listen to 29! Will rectify that now

Sorry, not for me @Pim mind you I did come to that conclusion about 20 years ago so maybe I should give it another try I know I'm in a very small minority but I find the Tyner Milestones lack light and shade, they are all a bit full on and overly robust, almost as if they're trying to prove something. But I should revisit. I saw him play a couple of times in the 90s in a trio and he was fabulous Edit to add: I do like Sama Layuca a lot

Me too. Long time favourite

I think it's pretty clear from the initial post onwards which John Marshall we're remembering with such affection. Only one played with Nucleus and Soft Machine after all

Poetry to minimal Jazz backing, some percussion and sax. Works really well, enough music to make it not just poetry and enough poetry to command attention. Completely new to me, punt from HJ. Some short samples on their site And only 30 minutes long so doesn't overstay its welcome. There's another just been reissued which I may go for now

Irreversible Entanglements - Protect The Light [Impulse, 2023]

I had no idea that Chico's 'The Master' existed and then was very surprised to discover he's playing with Little Feat (who I liked a lot in my younger days) on it. Gave it some online sampling, still undecided

Always fancied a copy of that one Here now Sarah Webster Fabio - Together To The Tune Of Coltrane's "Equinox" [Folkways Records, 2023 RE]

Me too 👍

Anthony Braxton - Five Pieces 1975 [Arista 1975] Companion piece, and the best Braxton cover picture which always makes me think of this cover You're right there but side one just explodes out of the blocks with such joie de vivre

Yes, sorry... Meanwhile, playing now Anthony Braxton - New York, Fall 1974 [Arista, 1975] This is such a very great album, blew me away when I first heard it and it still sounds vital today. What a quartet.

But some divergence is healthy, for instance I've never got on with Tyner's Milstones 😄

That's good from memory

Thanks T.D. I have the second but the first is new to me

They sound great, which albums are they?

There's this one which is very good https://www.discogs.com/master/346409-Hideo-Shiraki-Quintet-3-Koto-Girls-Sakura-Sakura And this, just outside your period https://www.discogs.com/master/799796-HinoKikuchi-Quintet-HinoKikuchi-Quintet

Thanks Niko
