After recently seeing George Clinton & P-Funk in concert -- an astounding experience -- I started reading this:

DG's reply was noncommittal. Basically, they said, "Watch the Coming Soon page."

Now streaming, prompted by some recent discussion on this thread: Joachim Kühn - This Way Out (MPS, 1973) features some superb drumming by Daniel Humair Perhaps the title should have been Not Two, Not One, but Twenty-Five.

Roger, I agree 100%. I'm glad they've reissued some titles like, say, John Taylor's Decipher and Joe Henderson's Mirror, Mirror. . . . But MORE, please! Regarding downloads: Another option, aside from iTunes is qoboz. They appear to have most MPS titles, and they offer uncompressed, CD-quality files. Plus, their prices are reasonable. (No commercial connection.)

I just reached out to Dusty Groove to see if they'll be stocking these reissues. If I get a response, I'll share it here.

Now streaming: Jasper van 't Hof's Pork Pie - The Door Is Open (MPS, 1976) with Charlie Mariano, Philip Catherine, Bo Steif, and John Marshall QUESTION: I know that Philip Catherine is half English and half Belgian. How does he pronounce his name? Phi-LEEP CAT-er-ina (French)? Or PHIL-up CATHER-in (English)? Or some other way?

Prompted by Rab's earlier post (and subsequent commentary): Three faves.

LUCKY YOU!

Yeah, I would put Ming at the top of the heap too -- along with New Life. I didn't realize that they were discontinuing those. Bummer. Oh well. All good things come to an end.

Taking a voyage to Strata-East (via Mosaic): Charles Tolliver - Mosaic Select 20 Now -- Disc 2: Originally released as Charles Tolliver Music Inc., Live in Tokyo Last night -- Disc 1: Originally released as Charles Tolliver Music Inc., Live at Slugs', Vols. 1 & 2 Powerful, serious, swaggering music !!!

While taking a stroll yesterday afternoon:

Thanks for sharing this. I've enjoyed Sabbagh's playing for long time, and I expect that his new album is one that I'll be picking up.
