I agree, that was a great band, all of their albums are worth listening to in depth meanwhile... Rashied Ali Quintet - First Time Out, Live at Slugs 1967 [Survival Records]

Let's not forget his essential contribution to Gruppo Di Improvvizone Nuova

Yeah, that was a surprise to me too

That's really interesting to see, thank you

That was a very special night indeed. I forgotten about Jean Carn which is odd because at the time her untrailled [?] appearance was a bit of a cherry on top of everything else. What a band

I had forgotten about that Okazaki thanks for the reminder. Fwiw I rate both the Reed And Paul albums, nice buys

Here we are again. Today's haul Liberty Ellman - Water Walkers Ill Considered - 9 Lauren Kinsella - Kinsella/Challenger/Davis Feldman - piano violin viola cello (Apartment House) Amurtha Kidambi & Lea Bertucci - End of Softness Aisha Orazbayeva - Music for violin alone

This is my take too. Always sounds the same whenever it arrives, I've found. Some waiting only heightens the anticipation or I forget about it completely and end up with a nice surprise. If I want it immediately I'll stream or Bandcamp. So many more options these days. And Bandcamp as well, can even own it then if that's your itch that needs a scratch.

James Ellroy - This Storm

I've had it for a while now. Well worth having, a strong follow up to the first quartet album which I love. Just need them to play London after the madness subsides...

Thanks, i'll take a listen

Fascinating listen, thank you

I have this https://www.discogs.com/Andr%C3%A9-Vida-Brud-Volumes-I-III-1995-2011/release/3307766 Not listened to it in some time, remember it as a difficult, challenging listen which isn't a bad thing in this house but does require the right moment. I need to revisit once my bust CD player is fixed. Which Simmons are you listening to?

Mr Braufman tells me there's UK/European distro too, so that's me sorted

New Direction For The Arts - Free Form Suite [Three Blind Mice]

unreserved recommendation for the music and the reissue from me

Ist - Lodi [Confront Recordings} RIP Simon H. Fell

Still to open mine that arrived last week

This is horrible news. He always produced thoughtful and challenging music.

this one...blue/black but not the blue/black I always think of which is the one with the black 'b'

Damn, another important voice quitens. I love the BYG leader dates and his other appearances on that label. Of the more recent recordings the Tzadik I have is really strong and 'Trail Of Tears' is a powerful statement, musically and otherwise. I didn't know about the Rogue Art, not sure how I missed that as I'm on their mailing list

I think Brownswood is actually named after the road in north London where the collection/studio is/was located. Just round the corner from his beloved Arsenal FC. Arc is his new label focussed on reissues

Barney Kessel - Feeling Free [Contemporary,Japan] more Elvin and Bobby H

Another of today's arrivals... Grant Green - Street Of Dreams [Blue Note] 1970 repress what a quartet, four of my favourite players on their respective instruments

Bobby Jaspar - s/t [Sam Records, 2019]
