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

I've started streaming from the beginning and will listen over the rest of the week. I dipped into the first one and then forgot about the second completely. I'll be leaving with you at Geffen.

That looks very interesting having checked the content. I see the series has reached 'Hissing...' which is where I really connect with her music

Or a sign of just too many in a collection. It's all very competently played but just a little dull, no real edge to it. Occasionally the themes rescue it

On Saft, you might try 'The New Jazz Standard' if you haven't already. With Steve Swallow and Previte Time to join in with the Book Of Angels listening Volume 12 Stolas, Masada Quintet featuring Joe Lovano 'Plays Masada Book Two' completely forgot I had this

Singularity Codex, Matthew Shipp on RogueArt - @clifford_thornton This is very readable, about a third in. Great to hear the multiple voices tell the story

Mike Osborne Quintet - Marcel's Muse [Ogun, UK 1977]

That's a terrific album, glad the clouds parted for you. Sometimes it's just a matter of time, others it sneaks up I find

Andrew Hill - But Not Farewell
