A friend of mine has a theory that the late seventies through early 90s, starting with VSOP, was the wristwatch jazz / rolex jazz era. I'm not sure what the characteristics of the Rolex jazz genre are, but, since he pointed it out, I have had to concede that he has a point.

Snap! Just put this on.

Chris Potter - Concentric Circles (1994) I enjoy this much more now than I did at the time for some reason.

Japanese Jazz

All fans of Avant Garde music (jazz or no jazz) keep a couple of records for precisely this purpose. -
Quite an intriguing-looking one.

I primarily meant the two Ancestors disks. Comet too, although I'm less into that. But his playing elsewhere is good too, I think: particularly on that Makaya McCraven record and on Alexander Hawkins' Unit[e].

Thanks. I will certainly listen to it. I enjoyed but haven't really revisited Reptile. The tuba/soundsystem rhythm thing is definitely what makes me most interested in Sons of Kemet, although I prefer Hutchings' other records where you get to hear him play more.

I've noticed a couple of people mentioning that they've bought or listened to this one recently. Any views from anyone? It seems to have gotten rave reviews, but that seems to be standard these days, so it is hard to tell. Meanwhile, I'm listening to this for the first time: Lee Konitz Quartet - Ideal Scene (Soul Note, 1983). Recorded on an auspicious day for me, so I am pleased at how much I am enjoying it. Nice to hear Lee Konitz in a setting with a bit more group dynamics and arrangements than usual for him (not a criticism of his other records!).

Just finished Song of the Unsung (Interplay, 1978) by Horace Tapscott. Now on: Lee Konitz' Jazz à Juan (Steeplechase, 1977).

Beins, Capace, Küchen and Vogel - Fracture Mechanics (Microton, 2017) Now on: Miles Davis - Black Beauty: At the Filmore West (CBS, 1973)

That’s another one I enjoy. I basically think that he became fore enjoyable from the mid 70s onwards.

I half agree. I never liked Revolutionary Ensemble or CCC much, and I would say that I don't really like Leroy Jenkins much overall. That album though really hits me hard.
-
It's a bit different to his other early ones, which tend to be more composed for want of a better word. To me, this record has the same appeal as classic 70s Braxton.

Great cover.

Chicago Slow Dance by the other George Lewis. One of his more “straightforwardly” AACM early records. Some good Teitelbaum on this.

I saw him once in Exeter, back in the early 00s when he was a spritely septuagenarian. One of the most fascinating things I have seen in my life.
-
Thanks for the tip. I like some of their duo recordings a lot (Black Paladins!). Others less so. Now listening to: Zo-Ko-Ma by Atilla Zoller and Lee Konitz.
-
Well done on this Pim! I've learned a lot and discovered things I would not have otherwise. Looking forward to the next instalment, whatever it is going to be.

Ooh. I don't know this one.
