Kang Tae Hwan / Masahiko Satoh / Masahiko Togashi – Asian Spirits

Albert Mangelsdorff Jazztet – A Ball With Al

It's a real problem with Moody. The original LP that I posted is itself a comp of a 10" with unreleased recordings.

I really enjoyed it. Euro jazz for sure, but Pauer makes sure it never wanders. I can't stress enough how much this record hit the spot.

James Moody – James Moody's Moods

Dudu Pukwana - Zila 86

Erich Kleinschuster Sextett - Erich Kleinschuster Sextett Excellent showing from Fritz Pauer on this one.

Firehouse Five Plus Two - The Firehouse Five Plus Two Story, Part Three

I hadn’t listened to it before. It really gripped me.

François Rabbath – The Sound Of A Bass

Wally Shoup - Chris Corsano - Paul Flaherty – Bounced Check Yes. It feels like a "Major Work", doesn't it.

Steve Coleman Featuring The Groups The Council Of Balance and Five Elements – Genesis & The Opening Of The Way

Nelson Riddle – Sea Of Dreams

Tommy Whittle – Tommy Whittle's Studio Recordings, Volume One, Waxing With Whittle

There's long bio on Steve Beresford, one of the leading exponents of this kind of improv from the British side, in this month's Wire.

Frank Wright - One for John

Roscoe Mitchell - More Cutouts On the back of this 1981 record is a reference to the "Leo Smith - Roscoe Mitchell Big Band that toured recently". I didn't know they had a big band at this time. Does anyone know whether it made any recordings? Or is this the group that made the great back to back Moers records Sketches of Bamboo and Bidding of a Rose?

Jamaladeen Tacuma - Show Stopper "Chosen" by the 8 months old, who has a new walker that puts him within range of the vinyl.

This is great news. That's a really important body of work.

Marilyn Crispell - Spirit Music I hadn't listened to this before. Excellent interplay with Bang. A much more aggressive Crispell than I knew of. Milt Buckner – Send Me Softly

Percy Faith – Percy Faith Plays Latin Themes For Young Lovers

I haven't listened to them in so long that it is sounding very fresh. Not all of their albums are equal but this is a good one.

Paul Motian Trio – Trioism
