Thanks for posting this. The album is right up there with the best of the year as far as I'm concerned. Interesting that she's working on patience as I thought she'd taken quite some time to get around to recording as a leader (well done International Anthem - a very good label at the moment). It's nine years since she took my notice with her contributions to The New Fracture Quartet edit to add: just what is in the water in Chicago? So many of my favourite recordings of the last few years (and before) coming from there

Amazon UK has it at £54.58!! I knew Brexit was a f'@#k up but that price difference already with our French neighbours is crazy. Vive La France!

I have that somewhere. Not listened to it in years. Last minute wrapping soundtrack sorted now, thanks for the prompt

Winter solstice music

very much enjoying getting acquainted with this. It took a while to find a nice copy in Europe but well worth the perseverance Bill Plummer's bass really stands out at the moment.

I couldn't find it either Anyone interested in Oliver Lake might check out his string quartet music on "Right Up On" {Passin' Thru}. Fine and challenging stuff

Nice line up. Thanks for posting

truly beautiful music from one of the greatest fiddle players. This band has a Jazz connection with Doug Wieseman contributing some stunning bass clarinet throughout If you've the slightest ear for traditional Irish or fiddle music of any origin this is a gem and if you've not then this could be an entry point

Bring it to Cafe Oto, here in London, and I'll be there in a shot. NYC is sadly a little more of a challenge. Hope it goes well, sounds fascinating It's that sock that I really want...

Michael Naura Quintet - European Jazz Sounds [Brunswick/Atelier Sawano reissue]

Have the Mitchell, great recording. Just ordered the Lake which I'd not heard mention of anywhere.

Dennis Gonzalez - Witness [Daagnim]

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.

today's, somewhat contrasting, new arrivals. All sounding well worth the investment on their first spin

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

That's almost too much of a good thing. Enjoy the music

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)

Yes indeed. Up there with the Branch for me too

Lots of very interesting names and possible combinations in that list. I'm sure they'll make sure it's a worthy tribute

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
