Happy birthday Gunter! To the best of my knowledge he's not played in the UK for a very long time. One of the true originals who I'd love to see live. Maybe I need to travel to see him now
Yes, The Source is a good listen, one I've retuned to a number of times over the last few months.Not groundbreaking perhaps but no less enjoyable for that
some real gems in there
Dragonfly Breath is the one I have to thank you for, Steve. And I do every time I play it.
Also, same could be said of Sluchaj https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/
I think I will become so. The contrast between the two sides is interesting. Side 1 made an immediate impact for its subtlety and restraint - not you typical ESP session
Blue Maqams is a very special recording indeed.
Thanks for continuing to post these even if US/UK release dates differ it's still useful to see what's in the offing
Took delivery today of a copy of Brubeck Quartet - The Riddle. There's a strip of braille on the back cover.
Thankfully I work with braille readers so I'll be able to solve the mystery. My bet's on "The Riddle"
Composer's Workshop Ensemble - s/t [Strata East]
enjoying a first listen to this.
Can anyone shed any light on the other recordings that appear under Warren Smith's name with this group on Miff and Baystate? More of the same?
Concert of her spiritual music in this year's London Jazz Fest. Performed by the current ashram choir. Ticket booked as a bit of a punt off the back of the album which is one of my favourite releases of the year.
