Let me know if you do break cover and fancy a local guide

That's a big favourite of mine. Could you expand on the "piously retro" description a little, I'm intrigued.

It's a nice space that's struggled to keep going as the local arts scene has been pushed away by developments.Think Vortex but with more pale wood, less industrial. Only have upright piano but Liam Noble and Alcyona Mick both made it sound good when I heard them. Vegetarian thali has a strong reputation but I haven't tried it as eating there seems a bit silly 5 minutes from my kitchen They have strong links with Tomorrow's Warriors and showcase a lot of their young bands. Also have strong links with the Lowther/Sulzman/Themen generation who all play there fairly regularly. Last night there were just 12 in the audience and I wonder how sustainable that can be but they announced two of their LJF shows are sold out or near so There's what seems likely to be a great show but I'm double booked with Charles Lloyd https://www.musicglue.com/karamel/events/2023-11-17-unknown-to-known-karamel I'll likely try the Steve Watts Trio as Iain Ballamy is playing Easy to get to from Wood Green tube, 10 minute walk and N22 isn't that scary 😮

Josephine Davies Satori at the Karamel Club Great to have a Jazz venue 5 minutes from the front door

That's been posted twice in the thread already, great read

Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Andy Sheppard - Andando El Tempo [ECM, Germany 2016] Gorgeous music making. These later trio albums are a strong run.

It is, very

I'm enjoying them very much too, so a second thanks

Last night, Balimaya Project at the Barbican Everything that's good about this city and its younger generation musicians. Superb.

Shame, shame, shame. Everything she did was worth a listen at the very least and so much of it was worth close acquaintance. She cancelled a Ronnie's appearance a couple of years ago due to illness. I'd seen the trio there previously, very special. And I shall treasure the two times I saw LMO

Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden [Constellation Records, 2023] Stunning

Dorothy Ashby - Concierto de Aranjuez Sahib Shihab - Sahib's Jazz Party

Whereas I've only had good responses from PayPal when making claims. I have one outstanding now so I can only hope my luck holds.

Glad you enjoyed it. I do love his lyricism

Schlippenbach Quartett - Das Hohe Lied [Po Torch Records, Germany 1991] I've been rediscovering my collection of Schlippenbach Trio/Quartet albums. A marvellous group.

Nice band, how was it? I have tickets for a month's time, he's playing with Marvin Sewell and Gerald Clayton. Will be my fourth time seeing Lloyd, he's always been good so far

Perelman in a bigger group is unusual I think. I thought this sounded promising https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/album/seven-skies-orchestra-2

I listened to some somewhere online this week but don't ask me to remember where... today's most helpful post If it's on the Squidco site they usually have samples but that's not where I heard it Here... https://music.frozenreeds.com/album/duo-in-concert

Rosie Turton - Wandering wondering

It's really intriguing. Seemingly such an unlikely pairing

That caught my eye too So is his back catalogue to date

Placed my order a little while ago. I'm not overly convinced by Heining's sleevenote writing in the past, not sure why just find it a bit precious. But the musicians of course are interesting and the CDs might be worth the entry price by themselves.

Dyani, Temiz, Feza - Music for Xaba, Volume 2 [Sonet, UK 1980] reacquainting myself thanks to @Rabshakeh's prompting. Music that just drips soulfulness. Mind you, how could it not with Johnny Dyani featured so prominently.

Nobuo Hara & His Sharps And Flats Meets Hozan Yamamoto - New Jazz In Japan [Columbia, Japan 1971 RE] New arrival, first listen, sounding great

Now I definitely know I have that one and it's companion
