NIS

My music listening space has become a corner of the spare bedroom, listening to digital files thru earbuds. So I am totally out of the stereo game but I do enjoy these kind of threads for the "eye candy" value. I went to the Pure Audio website for fun and I think your speakers look great, Stefan. I am a little jealous.

I have a CDr copy of Anthony Braxton Quartet (Santa Cruz) 1993 that I bought from Gerry Hemingway when the album was OOP. US addresses only though.

Please allow a silly question. Do artists/labels get ok compensation from the sale of Bandcamp downloads? I don't buy much for CDs or LPs anymore. I am closer to the end of my travels and am past the accumulation stage of life if that makes any sense. That said there is music I would still like to hear and want you all to make a living.

"Under The Double Moon" by Anthony Davis and Jay Hoggard is a really good album. Do not know if it ever came out on CD and may be OOP but worth looking into. Spotify maybe. A couple thing a little different are Mattias Stahl/Sten Sandell - "Gran Musik (Clean Feed) and Futari (which is Taiko Saito - marimba and vibes and Satoko Fujii - piano) "underground" (Libra). This instrumentation is a favorite for me too.

Just finished "The Night Watchman". Going to the library to find some more Erdrich.

I would add some albums by the wonderful pianist (in my opinion) Steve Cohn to the mix; " Ittekimasu" with Therman Barker and Fred Hopkins, "Arts & Crafts" and "Shapes Sounds Theories".

Thanks for this topic. Took a look at my collection and found more favorite albums from this decade than I would have thought. Richard Grossman - "Solo Piano Improvisations" Henry Threadgill - "Rag, Bush And All" Michael Moore's Available Jelly - "Available Jelly" Antonello Salis - "Orange Juice/Nice Food" Sean Bergin - "Kids Mysteries" (first CD I ever bought) Kahil El'Zabar/Lester Bowie/Malachi Favors - "The Ritual"" Quintet Moderne - "Ikkanan Takana=Behind The Window" Ganelin Trio - "Jerusalem February Cantabile" Walt Dickerson - "Life Rays" Dave Burrell - "Windward Passages"

I very much enjoyed following your blog this whole year. Thank you. Even though the 1970s was when I first started really listening to jazz, there were quite a number of things I didn't know. The first two jazz LPs I ever bought were included, "Fanfare for the Warriors" and "Crystal Silence".

Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother!

Very much agree with your recommendation on "Stengam". I had looked for another solo album called " 7 CC IN IO" for a long time finally broke down and made an international purchase from Discogs in July. As it turned out it was shipped to me 2 days before Mr. Fuhler was called home. It is pretty darn good as well but hard to find.

Thanks for the suggestions. The last two I honesty had not thought about. I reached out to Ms. Block, will see if she responds. I've listened to the album on bandcamp and love it. The art work is pretty cool also, which is why I would kind of like to find a copy of the CD.

Thanks for checking, Michael. mjazzg, I do know about the download option and I will go that route if I can't find a CD. Thanks.

Might someone here have a copy of this CD to sell. Olivia Block (Another Timbre)

Is this worth looking for?

My skills at putting what I hear into words are limited. I bought it from Bandcamp, https://577records.bandcamp.com/album/bleyschool . You could listen to a couple tracks.
