Been in the pipeline for a while now. Souffle Continu have been working through the Palm label. They do a very good job of their reissues

Alexander Hawkins Trio - Carnival Celestial [Intakt]

Yes

Break A Vase, no.24. https://www.mixcloud.com/AlexanderHawkinsMusic/break-a-vase-episode-24/ No.25 up next

And?

Not yet but now I know about it and see it's on Tidal, I shall do later. I think Blade is a terrific drummer but often feel that's a little hidden in the Fellowship

Cecil Taylor - Tzotzil Mummer Tzotzil [Leo Records, UK 1988] bought on release when new to Jazz and was completely baffled. Love it now.

Togashi Yamashita Duo - Kizashi Live [Next wave, Japan 1981]

and the other arrival "Jojo" Takayanagi Second Concept - Cool Jojo [Three Blind Mice, Japan 1980]

same here, I should remedy that meanwhile, one of today's arrivals Lem Winchester - Winchester Special [Esquire, UK 1962, mono]

In the final episode that concert has a credit for a BBC orchestra so I suspect it has to be that one. I don't recall the stage being so bright though

I'm not sure how available they are these days, especially streamably. If you have the means to rip CDs let me know, happy to lend them out

These two, https://www.discogs.com/master/1736140-Anthony-Braxton-Ten-Compositions-Quartet-2000 https://www.discogs.com/master/1736146-Anthony-Braxton-Nine-Compositions-Hill-2000 The only dense thing is AB's discography

I think I must have checked those Leos out and forgotten about them, very probably for the reasons you identify. Yes I did mean the 'In The Tradition' ones, I remember hearing them for the first time and being bowled over, I think that glow still exists if only in a nostalgic manner. Still enjoy hearing them. I also remember buying the Tristano on Hat, great album. Never got on with the Parker set. Diverging slightly, the Andrew Hills on CIMP count as standards to me and I really rate them

Last night at Oto, Mike Reed's Separatist Party. Amazingly inventive two sets of very powerful music. Basically Bitchin Bajas with Ben Lamar Gay, who was outstanding, Reed and new to me Marvin Tate Tate's an astonishing performer, declaiming, preaching and singing his poetry/lyrics. The rest just hit the most insistent grooves, lots of AEOC in there I thought, Lamar Gay was Lester B's ghost at times. I've always rated Reed as bandleader and as one of the most tuneful drummers I have heard. He's done it again with this group. What is in the water in Chicago? I get too far fewer gigs than I'd like to these days so it's good when one is just so good. A special Oto night. Only Oto is going to book this band in London

I played a couple of discs recently and really enjoyed them. The tune selection is interesting and I agree the playing is too notch, from all of them. The other Braxton Standards I really enjoy are the Steeplechases. Pleased to have this to dip into. Can't see playing all the discs in order as I did initially again. The Leo you mention, is that where AB plays piano?

Do Old And New Dreams count? If so, then their albums definitely

Bang, bang,bang, bang, what a run that is Pim, do you have a cross on the floor where you stand to take the photos? You're positioning is very consistent I've noticed 😃

Second episode has excellent coverage of Weather Report and some of the tensions therein. Also, covers the personal tragedies in Wayne's life up to the air crash. Again, lots of Wayne speaking, movingly when discussing his daughter and wife

😄 Probably Hasselt and Warszawa. I don't know the Namtchaylak collaboration

Barry Guy + Evan Parker - Incision [FMP, Germany 1981]

Evan Parker - Zanzou [Jazz & Now, Japan 1983] Finally, an affordable copy

Working through them? It's an interesting body of work, including some later ones on other labels. Saw a performance at QEH which was quite unlike anything else I had heard then or since. Fascinating
