Von Freeman Have No Fear (Nessa) Von Freeman Serenade & Blues (Nessa)

4 tracks: 37:18, 18:53, 17:03, 04:50. My only complaint so far is the poem with drum accompaniment early on in track 3. Usually the poems are recited before the musical performance. Here, it's somewhere between clearly audible (The Garden) and completely inaudible (Celebrated Blazons). Otherwise, excellent recording and performance. Essential for anyone who loves Leaf Palm Hand and the two The Feel Trio CDs on FMP.

Cecil Taylor Conversations with Tony Oxley (Jazzwerkstatt) Recorded February 20, 2008 in Berlin.

That's just Swedish for toilet brush. Oh, the British and their language skills.

Bobby Hutcherson Oblique (UCCQ-5016)

Mourinho gone by Christmas. Manchester United have become a joke. Meanwhile, Courtois warming the bench at the Bernabeu.

I bought the Schumann disc when it won a Gramophone award, but it's very good. I have never bothered to try other Zehetmair recordings until now.

Ambrose Akinmusire A Rift in Decorum: Live at the Village Vanguard

I just climb on my bike for Indonesian take-out. Or Surinamese, but there is a good, affordable Indonesian close to where I live now.

Just as long as it is not in the form of a referendum.

Heat wave still ongoing in Austria? You did have some rain by now, right?

Sonny Rollins On Impulse! APO Hybrid SACD mastered by Kevin Gray.

I look forward to finally hearing these classic albums. Nessa CD reissues always have very high production values.

Clifford Brown The Emarcy Master Takes

Yes, it's a DSD remaster from 2014. Perhaps some day we will see more stuff like 52nd Street Theme saved from oblivion, though not if it's up to Sonny, of course.

Sonny Rollins After the Bridge (Sony Japan, SICP 4192~3)

I only have 1 & 3.

Whatever, Jim. I think the Milestone albums are pretty much shite. Sorry to enter the grown up discussion. Perhaps I should revisit some Milestone Sonny tonight. Silver City!
