Did us all a favour. Well done Percy! Enjoy what they left us

Sirone - Artistry [Of the Cosmos] a candidate for a International Phonograph CD reissue if ever there were one

Listening to the Oakland date from the same month and Hemingway's contributions are so front and centre in parts it could be his leader date. Great playing

That's a good one. I need to upgrade my trashed copy someday

I think the new ICP was mentioned up thread but I just love this from it on so many levels. So not too many apologies if it's a repost

ICP Orchestra - East of the Sun

It's now on the Dusk Fire website catalogue and can be ordered direct from there:- http://www.musicsogood.com/duskfire/catalogue.htm thanks

Damn, I've slept on the RFH 2004 disc for too long. I was at the gig - very good, maybe not life-changing though edit to add:copies still available at Amazon.UK. One less than a few minutes ago

Oriental Wind - Chila Chila [sonet] thank you Homefromtheforest

Brice is on Mikolaj Trzaska / Olie Brice / Mark Sanders – Riverloam Trio 2xLP (No Business) 2012--that is a really fine album. Something I didn't know was that he also cut an album with Ingrid Laubrock, Catatumbo, http://babel-label.bandcamp.com/album/catatumbo. Comes in a "luxury edition vinyl Plus CD"! Also download . He plays with some interesting people. Catatumbo is a fine record - I managed to get just the CD at a gig. Saw Riverloam at Oto, good stuff

Back to new releases. Another Polish label Multikulti just released this by impressive Brit bass player Olie Brice (with some other younger local players). Presence of Waclaw Zimpel is a major pull for me too http://www.multikulti.com/immune-to-clockwork.html

The Reggie Workman Ensemble - Synthesis [Leo Records]

from the Leo sale CD LR 641 Paul Giallorenzo's Gitgo; Emergent; CD LR 655 Frank Gratkowski Quartet; Le Vent et La Gorge; CD LR 283/284 Parker / Guy / Lytton & Marylin Crispell; After Appleby

Ordered the Appleby. Been meaning to get it for years - thanks for the push, Steve

That and the two large ensembles for me. Some of the duos might be worth a listen but too many solos

Leo sale again this year. Starts tomorrow http://www.leorecords.com/?m=christmassale

Big new boxset from Mats Gustafsson on Not Two. Some intriguing line ups http://nottwo.com/PelnaPlyta.php?Id=487 another door stop anyone? It's good to see this type of music being released but the size of some of these sets is getting intimidating

Hozan Yamamoto - The Suite for Shakuhachi [RCA Japan]

Those Umbrella Music Festivals have always been interesting. I wish I lived closer! The Silke Eberhard Quartet really interests me. Tasty stuff. I'd go a long way to see Waclaw Zimpel and Dans Les Arbes both of whom haven't played London to my knowledge. Holmlander solo - after the tuba players thread as well! (I don't know Eberhard though) Enjoy what looks like two great evenings of music

Any idea where I might be able to pick up a copy of this on CD at a reasonable price, Roger? Amazon has some second hand CD copies but at quite a price. It is an excellent album though. Too rich for me, I'm afraid. I contacted Fellside Records about the possibilty of them re-issuing it, but the cost of relicensing it from Unversal make this uneconomical. (How many times have I heard that!) LPs cheap here http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3282966?ev=rb

Vorsprung durch...leather trousers?

Listening again and I can't believe I missed that it was Stan Tracey on 1.3. Who else hits the keys like that? Peter King's should've been identifiable too. Strong stuff

Quarteto Novo

Bill Lewis/Khan Jamal - The River [Philly Jazz]

No mention as yet on the Dusk Fire site....the wait continues......
