Noah Davis at the Barbican Art Gallery My introduction to Davis although I feel I may have seen his work in group shows. Very thoughtfully curated, some outstanding paintings and a very sad story. https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2025/event/noah-davis

When I asked about a CD edition I was told that that's what AB would like and "wait and see". I've had the London Leo since the late 80s I think and saw the quartet in '91 at the Jazz Cafe, very memorable

Great cover art too. On Intakt so should be able to track it down here

That's one that I don't know so well, I do have it somewhere so will reacquaint

Muneer A.F. and The Rhythm String Band Vol III - For Them [Idibib Productions, USA 1988] Fascinating album,a precursor to Threadgill's Zooid sound but without the saxophone. Either that or influenced by the contemporaneous Threadgill Sextett.

That's a terrific pairing. RLJ is desert island territory for me, possibly 'Pirates' over that one, depends on the day

No solo tracks on 'Ondas' so it's not the one @Erick seeks. But what a superb album it is, my LP sounds absolutely gorgeous. Christensen (one of my favourite drummers) and Gomez are so on it throughout

Me neither, time to get it out

Admirable reasoning there @Pim 1. I tend to agree but do buy LPs of new releases of artists that I really like or that the music sounds like it should be on LP (please don't ask me to explain this one, I can't!) 2. This has never bothered me perhaps because I'm old enough to have grown up with LPs so getting up is natural. I can get fidgety with a 70+minute CD these days 3. Completely agree about this. I have CD artists and LP artists for much the same reason. Interestingly I have Brahem's complete catalogue on CD so he's a CD artist in my head. So why did I buy the LP this time, see reason 1 above... 4. that was silly And as for them not touring here, I still blame f@@##£g Brexit, definite drop in European acts visiting (and who can blame them really)

That's a great album whether it's the one being sought or not

This made me wonder what she is doing now, according to wiki and discogs her last recording was 1994

Nice, they're not playing the UK. I think the album is really strong, I'm surprised you didn't buy the LP.

Yes, very interesting

OK, cut the playing then

If only they'd cut the chat Oh yes, and yes again!

Oh yes!

And when your sauna deflates...?

Various - Music Is A Message From Space [Corbett vs Dempsey, USA 2025] Kimiko Kasai with Kosuke Mine Quartet - Yellow Carcass In Blue [Three Blind Mice, Japan 1974 RE]

That's a great story

There's only one Patti...

Quietus reporting his death. https://bsky.app/profile/thequietus.com/post/3lnk2fkwi762y The last time I saw him live about 10 years ago he wasn't in great shape but gave a stunning performance. Pere Ubu were one of the best, although I only saw a later iteration live, and his subsequent solo albums with The Wooden Birds, The Pedestrians and Two Pale Boys made a big impact on me on their release.

That makes sense, they did some previous CD reissues didn't they? I would love to know the story behind the recently discovered tapes

London tickets went crazily quickly and we missed them despite being on full alert It's going to be great, I'm sure, enjoy!

That's the one with the track of them playing in the street, right. Love it No it's not that one but the other BYG, as you were everybody. I still like B-XO though. Interestingly appears to be a UK focussed production as it's priced in £ and Le Gendre is possibly our best Jazz journo From "original tapes" with exec producer being one of the original producers, interesting given the history of BYG that I've learnt on here over the years.

A couple of LPs by French vibist Michel Hausser, 'Vibes+ Flute' with Bobby Jaspar 'Holiday for Vibes and Cembalet' which featuring Michel Portal All in all hitting sweet spots of vibes, flute and clarinet. A new player to me, apart from some judicious online sampling.
