One of the first Jazz LPs I bought. The reason? Coltrane's name (I knew he was someone to hear) and the cover image. As a Jazz neophyte that cover said it all when it came to the "image" I was looking for in the music. I didn't know that BN was the label it was when I made the purchase so I'm notching this one up to Francis Wolff. I soon moved onto A Love Supreme and beyond. Now playing it for the first time in years.
Anthony Davis quartet - Song For The Old World [India Navigation]
all four, Davis, Hoggard, Helias and Blackwell impress but it's Blackwell that really shines
one for the "not on CD" thread, perhaps
That's almost too much of a good thing. Enjoy the music
I just spotted Jacque Coursil is playing but only for 15 minutes. Is he very active these days? I would love to see him play
First listen to CD 1 and it's apparent that this is a very worthwhile release that's been carried out with care and attention. I look forward to getting to know all the music.
It's already prompted me to order a copy of Musiki reissue on Holidays (more of your persuasive words Clifford appear against its Discogs entry)
An interesting article indeed, especially given the current climate.
Jaimie Branch's album is one of my albums of the year and I was lucky to see Tomeka Reid both with AEOC and Here In Now this year, fabulous musician
Wadada Leo Smith - Najwa [TUM]
TUM must have some of the highest production values with regard to packaging/notes around at the moment. Sumptuous music with sumptuous presentation. Alongside his recent Monk tribute on the same label, this presents WLS as the master he undoubtedly is
looks like copies are now in Europe

The LP version listed sold out within a couple of hours from my first visit to the page
I'm another fan of the two East Wind LPs mentioned by Joe.
Both are well worth tracking down especially if you enjoy the Steeplechase. I read an interesting comment about them a while ago (maybe even on this board) to the effect that they have suffered from label discrimination in that if they had been released as a continuation of Hill on Blue Note they'd be a lot more highly regarded and known. I think that's a fair observation.
I really must get a copy of the Montreux
