Aw, he made Cyclops cry!

Yeah, using PayPal for preorders can be problematic.

I can’t figure out Shining Girls. The guy is psychic traveling?

I dig this one

Thanks, great lead.

Sunsum is the only one I can find streaming.

Warren Smith & William Parker = I gotta check that out

Cameo is great. Super weird, sparse funk stylings esp post Rigormortis. Totally unique sound and they owned it at their peak. That Sunday night jam though….oof.

Other than who you've listed, I'm familiar with, and would recommend: McBride's Newport Jawn (has to be enjoyable with that lineup) Esperanza Spalding (although I'm not a fan, I'd like to see her live) Digable Planets (hip hop with heavy jazz samples) Cecile McLorin Salvant Shabaka Hutchings & Sons of Kemet Theon Cross Nubya Garcia Nate Smith Ron Carter Quartet Jazz Is Dead (Hip hop again, this is Ali Shaheed Muhammad's project - he was the DJ for Tribe Called Quest) Jason Moran Trio (his recent duo with Archie Shepp is great, on the strength of that I'd see his trio) Makaya McCraven Pino Palladino, Blake Mills, Sam Gendel & Abe Rounds (I'm familiar with Gendel here & enjoy what I've heard - not familiar with the rest) Melissa Aldana Vijay Iyer Trio And of note, Lettuce is a neo-funk groove band (mostly/all instrumental) and the audience always has fun at their shows.

I've only used Apple and for the most part it's a guessing game in terms of who mastered what and when. I've enjoyed the SQ overall however.

Never heard of Gianni Brezzo (aka Marvin Horsch for his house records) but this is a good listen on this Tuesday morning.

Maybe not the desired neighborhood (?) but this one comes to mind:

I have that as well. Pretty noisy pressing though.

Enjoy!

Hamid Drake being involved makes this really interesting

Nice!

If that’s the case above, then clearing your cache might allow access again.

Didn’t get that on my phone and don’t have a free trial or paid sub.

Great, super informative read

Thanks! I’m sure no one wants to read about AM Best

If anyone hasn't yet gotten the two CDs he offers at his website, I highly recommend them. I put one of the tracks from Jazz Dance Suites in my BFT offering last year and it got some good reviews. The other one, a 1990 live date, is excellent as well.

Not on Apple so will keep eyes open for a physical copy. Searching Mazurek on Apple exposes one of the biggest flaws on that platform as his many different bands and even his name (Stellar Pulsations is officially under both Bob and Rob Mazurek) aren’t all grouped together. CU is also split along the duo, quartet, etc groupings. Makes finding stuff less than easy. Not sure how it is on other streaming platforms but hoping it’s not similar.

I forgot I was actually familiar with the CU quartet album Good Days but wasn’t aware of how far back they went. On that lead I ended up checking out Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra’s Dimensional Stardust from 2020 and it’s really good. Some heavy hitters in that lineup: Nicole Mitchell, Tomkea Reid, Jeff Parker, Jaimie Branch and Joel Ross among others.

Another group I know nothing about, so thanks for the lead. I see in the notes on the rear card they played with Fred Anderson, so that's definitely intriguing.

I'm totally unversed in classical so in terms of how true these songs are to the source material I can't tell you. For all I know the titles could be a ruse to lure in Chopin fans and then sucker them into the jazz world. The old switcheroo, if you will. It's a good album though, esp if you like Rosenwinkel's style and sound. Brodbeck is new for me and I dug his piano playing also. Listening to this one and damn it's got some atmosphere
