I've had a couple of listens to this and i'm really enjoying it. I quite like The Bad Plus, but i've kind of seen Iverson as being the slightly weak link, for whatever reason. I guess it's because they're quite a compositionally oriented group, and i tend to find his compositions less enjoyable than those of Dave King and particularly Reid Anderson. Anyway, i'm really enjoying hearing him outside of the TBP, hearing him in a new light here. Not that his playing here is going to set the world on fire or anything but just a personal observation. I've really been digging recent Konitz (highly enjoyed Enfants Terribles... sorry if i'm losing you here, probably already lost you at The Bad Plus) and this is another fine outing for him in my opinion. Grenadier and Rossy are in fine form, too.

New Septet album, Illusionary Sea, is due out on Firehouse 12 on September 10th. Can't wait.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Aside from Conversations With a Goose, there's also a double up with the Motian set with the inclusion of Notes. Full list FWIW: Sonor Tango Palace Hot Notes Mindset Live at Sweet Basil Memoirs Conversations With a Goose Chaos

Cheers for the welcome jazzbo, i appreciate it.

Hi all, My name is Chris, this is my first post on the Organissimo forums. I'm not really in to these "i'm new here" type posts but just out of respect i'll give a brief introduction. I've been posting on the AAJ forums for just over 4 years (not sure if this will endear me to you or not ha ha but i've enjoyed my time there overall). Organissimo threads have come up quite often when i'm searching for info online, to the point where i'll often google an artists name along with 'Organissimo Forums' (for example 'Lee Konitz Organissimo Forums'), and what comes up usually makes for interesting reading. Anyway, i've decided to take the plunge and sign up. Cheers, everyone. Anyway, to the thread at hand. I'm extremely happy to see that these sets are still being produced. Out of the latest batch i've really been hanging out for the Bley one. Seeing that they're doing another Murray set gives me hope that they may do another Steve Lacy set.
