We would never have guessed...😀

Yes, I'm waiting on the Marzette and Thornton's 'Communication Network '. Thinking again from a European perspective I'd add Amalgam's 'Prayer For Peace' which to my mind definitely fits "accesible for it's high emotional energy that's feelable trough all the tracks"

Big fan of 'Eastern Man Alone' and also on ESP Silva's 'Skilfulness'. Absolutely yes for 'Scorpio' and also the Coursil BYGs. I played Simmons's 'Burning Spirits' yesterday, that fits no? Maybe not free enough I know you're a fan Pim. Now I'm going to throw in a slightly left field suggestion and point at the Brotzmann quartet dates with Albert Mangelsdorff. Different lineage obviously but to my ears they fit some of your criteria. I think it just didn't live up to the hype for me, and there was a lot of hype. When it was finally reissued I jumped on it but every time I played it I was disappointed. I have to say that the same but to a lesser extent is true of 'By Myself'. I'm becoming more wary of these reissued "grails".

I sold my copy a couple of months ago, never connected with it

The Dalai Lama Adam Lalana Lamine Yemal

And mine!

May be worth contacting him direct, I've bought from him previously and he responded to my emails

Just back from Otomo Yoshihide's Special Big Band at Café Oto Extraordinary, just extraordinary. Expectations were high but they were exceeded. If you're in striking distance of this band, just go!

Harold McKinney Dave Binney (whatever happened to?) Minnie Ripperton

I'll take that

That's good to hear. I was pretty confident it would be given the trio's previous releases. Just announced a date at my favourite venue for February too

Whoa, consider me educated, right there

Ding Junhui Juni Booth Joni Mitchell

Bez Shaun Ryder John Snyder

got mine on order, not released here yet. Very much looking forward to it

Thanks

What is it?

That's helpful to know, thank you

E.E.Cummings Fat Freddie's Drop Gigi Hadid

Thanks

Is it just the original album or are there any extra tracks in the box?

Ah, thanks, didn't think to look there

Yes, I just read that too. Does anyone know how good the sound quality is on the Davis at Harmon Gymnasium recording? Williams is always worth reading

When was that? My idea of heaven

Thanks for the report, sounds worth a listen. I have most of his albums until a few years ago. Yeah, that shitshow
