Lol Coxhill – Cou$cou$

I'm anti-box set and audiophile reissues, and I generally prefer the "original" historic LP release to any expanded version. But this is one three record set in which I might actually invest.

I think that frequency has to reflect the frequency that @Jim Alfredson has to pay. If it is monthly then we need to donate roughly monthly.

Great one

I do like it. I need to listen to it again. His style and language is really different to Mitchell's percussion pieces as presented by Mitchell or the AEC. I thought he was really excellent at the final Brotzmann gig. But Brotzmann and Mitchell are quite different languages.

Jason Adasiewicz – Roscoe Village (The Music Of Roscoe Mitchell)

I just sent too.

Sylvie Courvoisier, Susie Ibarra and Joëlle Léandre - Passagio God, this record is excellent. One of Leander’s very best performances, but Ibarra and Courvoisier are fantastic too.

Thanks!

I mean, what other good stuff is there? I love this kind of stuff.

What other stuff is there on the label? Id not heard of it.

Ditto. I'm still surprised. In this day and age, when any old 'Zev Feldman Presents: John Coltrane live at the Shower Cubicle, 1963' is getting broadsheet press and rave reviews, why on earth is this still unreleased.

I'm away unfortunately because otherwise I definitely would be. That sounds really rough. Hope that things get better soon.

Oh! I was right!

For some reason I had always thought that Cap'n John Hardee and John Handy had the same name, and that the naval rank was to distinguish the one from the other, much like Dr. Lonnie vs. Lonnie Liston. Turns out that they just have different names entirely.

That record with Budd Johnson and Buck Clayton has some really good playing on it, particularly by Johnson. Laine's voice isn't quite strong enough to make it work, but it's an album that's worth checking out if you haven't.

What are some jazz musicians who share the same names? Some obvious examples: George Lewis the New Orleans revival clarinetist v. George Lewis the AACM chronicler, composer and trombonist. Bill Evans the pianist who played with Miles Davis v. Bill Evans the saxophonist who played with Miles Davis (also, arguably Bill Evans, the saxophonist more commonly known as Yusef Lateef) Russ Freeman the West Coast pianist v. Russ Freeman the cheeseball West Coast leader of the Rippingtons And a near miss: Kenny Clarke, the American bebop drummer who recorded frequently for MPS in later life v. Kenny Clare, the British drummer who recorded frequently for MPS at the same time

I think I picked him up as a reference in that Soejima book. He was part of the second generation of free jazz types. Solo saxophone and the EP comparison is clear, but there are significant differences in style. It is on YouTube I think. Now on: Sil Austin - Red Prysock – Battle Royal!

Junji Hirose – Solo Saxophone (1980) I'd love to know whether Hirose had heard Evan Parker at this point. Was this influence or convergence?

Mette Rasmussen and Chris Corsano - A View of the Moon (from the Sun) A more subtle side to Corsano than I'm used to. Rasmussen is very impressive here.

Might pick up a couple of these.

Lee Wiley With Billy Butterfield And His Orchestra – A Touch Of The Blues Perry Robinson - Nana Vasconcelos - Badal Roy – Kundalini

I think it was an @JSngry recommendation. Easily streamable.

North Texas State University Lab Band, Leon Breeden – Lab 75 First listen. This is as good as it is said to be.
