That's a good one, haven't played it in years mind you

Tracey Thorn Massive Attack Shara Nelson (whatever happened to...)

I'm genuinely surprised that Braxton is more well known. Nothing wrong with Clissold Park apart from all the runners...in fact Clissold Park was the London Fields of my day

Not "Spiritual" enough, too experimental for London Fields Crew. Having said that I think "Theme de Yo Yo" maintains its position in a Jazz top ten for the new Jazz cogniscenti. I guess they never looked beyond it very much. How cynical am I feeling today...

Georges Danton Buju Banton Jimmy Blanton

Too good albums. I was at the A Night Walking gig that makes up that recording, fabulous night's music. Enjoy

Not Mat in the Hat either, although the leader does often wear a hat...

I have that! I'll get it out for a spin

Not Nat but I can absolutely understand your thinking on that. The leader is a contemporary but isn't a sax player. There's no harp credited but a similar instrument of which I suspect you've listened to in other settings.

👍 A new name to me before this purchase

Makaya Ntshoko - Makaya & The Tsotsis [Enja, West Germany 1975]

Interesting, I went to a discovery day of Xenakis works (and some terrific biographical film) performed by the London Sinfonietta several years ago and was bowled over by a lot of the music but for some reason never followed it up with any extensive listening. Since then he's always been a name that intrigues. Maybe I could start again with this

I know that feeling all too well. I have the physical release for the Harriott

It is indeed, well found! That's a great release

Jazztrack And Norma Winstone - Flying Stork [Musicians Record Company, Germany 1979] I have only recently become aware of this album, prime wordless Norma, absolutely lovely Nala Sinephro - Space 1.8 [Warp Records, UK 2021]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for listening. A couple of artists in there that are definitely on your radar, if not necessarily these particular albums

Exactly, it's at that intersection that the group's music predominantly sits too. Very impressive live

Interesting...

#11 is a lot, lot more contemporary than #3

Yes, yes and yes! I was thinking you'd get this one That's the first complete artist, track, album ID Time to play it again perhaps ...

Well I'd definitely say there's no harm in liking #3, it's not bang up to date, over 20 years old #4 is definitely too short, they're tunes are usually longer but BFT time restraints dictate

Brilliant, your own resident Cecil now playing, Cecil McBee - Music From The Source [Enja, Germany 1978]

Rob Mazurek, Exploding Star Orchestra - Dimensinal Stardust [International Anthem, USA 2020] Ken McIntyre - 'Way, 'Way Out [United Artists Records, USA 1963] Very surprisngly I'm hearing some crossover between these two
