Zollar, Mangelsdorff, Konitz - ZoKoMa [MPS]. LP. From my visit to a record shop today

I think I'm going to also. I often prefer the later Impulse albums, which I appreciate is a minority opinion, and the India Navigation so this set is right in my timeline

Nice to have a post about the music. I agree it's a transitional stage. Interesting that it's just a quartet whilst the contemporaneous albums, or at least from the year previously, were with more musicians. Track listing is linked here https://transversales.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-paris-1975 I don't know the piano player Mixon, also on organ which is intriguing. Other players are Pharaoh regulars. I think this could be a very nice issue

Enjoyed it very much in London

Nam June Paik at Tate Modern. Fascinating

Never got rid of mine. I'm pleased about that. Today I've streamed, listened to an LP and a couple of CDs. I may even listen to a download later. I think I just like newly-released music too much to allow the delivery method to hamper my choice.i remember holding out against CDs for a good while - too expensive, required new kit, enjoyed LPs until there was a Tim Berne release I really wanted but on CD only, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' iirc. It's all personal choice after all but it does make me smile when a thread like this once again, and there's been many recently, ends up being all about formats rather than music. Still looking forward to hearing the Pharaoh...

Looking forward to getting this after sampling online. Sounds like a good one.

The Tubby Hayes Orchestra - Tubbs' Tours [Fontana] from 'The Fontana Albums' box set. I don't have an original to make a comparison but the sound on this is just fabulous.

Thanks Brad. I nearly wrote in my first response the words "Falange" and "forest" but wasn't sure it was that one. It was. Different cover in the UK didn't help. I do remember it being a good read. Hope you enjoy the rest of it

I remember being very taken with that one but can't remember much detail.

Glad it was good. I really like the new album. I think I noticed they're approaching a tenth anniversary which seems incredible Meanwhile... Kuzu - Purple Dark Opal now that is a fine noise indeed ( and I don't usually care much for full on guitar)

They've almost taken the roof off the couple of times I've seen them. There's a good new recording to purchase too.

Were they only allowed to choose US artists? and the other two for me

Honest Jon's could go for it. Fits their profile

I was afraid that's what you'd say. They're both sitting in my bandcamp cart awaiting a moment of weakness

Defeat in the face of the onslaught https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/education/shortcuts/2019/dec/02/the-pedants-pedant-why-the-apostrophe-protection-society-has-closed-in-disgust

I nearly fell for that boot, glad I didn't. Now I'm wondering whether I really need all the added material on the legit reissue

Tribe - Hometown: Detroit Sessions 1990-2014 [Strut]

Horace Tapscott - Live at Lobero [Pure Pleasure/Nimbus]

Having seen Leandre several times I'm not sure I've ever witnessed anything 'clownish' other than her tendency not to approach improvisation in a po-faced, overly precious manner.

London will do just fine They were great at LJF a few years ago

I listened to the two tracks of Slugs today and whilst the music sounds good I'm not sure about the SQ. My enthusiasm has dimmed a little now

I thought the postage wasn't too outrageous at £15 for the pair but there's still the possible customs fees to factor in. I like what I hear. I can't see there being distribution outside US.

making me think of Braxton (unsurprisingly), George Lewis and Bill Dixon. Not a bad set of references. Interesting stuff. There's a volume 2 too

You do! It's as good as you think it is. Note the "45 tours" which I didn't spot before ordering.
