Well, thanks Mr. Lazro! And I guess you know that there is another album by the same trio - Lazro / Duboc / Lasserre - Sens Radiants: https://darktree.bandcamp.com/album/sens-radiants

Yes, a great one. Here is a good one with Lazro too: https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/garden-s And a fantastic solo Lazro: https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/some-other-zongs And Lazro's duo with Carlos Zingaro Hauts Plateaux is great. It's OOP, but cheap copies are available on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Daunik-Lazro-Carlos-Zingaro-Hauts-Plateaux/release/1309514

Will check these out, Küchen is great. There is a new solo Barre Phillips album, "Thirty Years in Between" on Victo: https://www.discogs.com/Barre-Phillips-Thirty-Years-In-Between/release/15560544 . It's released as a twofer with the long OOP solo release from 1989, "Camouflage" (which might be my favorite solo bass record).

Several new releases on Fundacja Słuchaj, including Evan Parker / Agusti Fernandez duo: https://sluchaj.bandcamp.com/music

One track available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0DkWUpd9RHG7jimffPyvBH

I guess this is it: https://bombmagazine.org/articles/jacques-coursil/

It's apparently available from the label directly: https://www.savvy-contemporary.com/en/pillars/savvy-records/jacques-coursil/

Coursil's BYG albums became available on Spotify: 'Way Ahead': https://open.spotify.com/album/0jB4eK43gKgPwniQVpnYLU 'Black Suite': https://open.spotify.com/album/44TmvJt3XiweZZ4YXtoc3D

Yes. I sampled a few of tracks from across his discography - pretty boring player, as far as I am concerned. Sort of unfocused and contrived, no flow, the sound is forced. I don't get it. There are dozens of more interesting players, both young and old (IMHO, of course). Randomly - Jean-Luc Cappozzo:

He's a sideman on Dizzy Reece's "From In to Out" (a live recording from 1970), which is pretty good.

Yes, "Thelonious in Action" and "Misterioso".

Martial Solal "Just Friends" on Dreyfus, recorded in 1997. Piano trio with Paul Motian. Joyful stuff!

There are a few cheap copies available at Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/5600397?ev=rb

I hope that when I die - or will be dying, as is possibly the case of Mr. Peacock, - those around me won't feel obligated to post the status of my condition online.

Perhaps we could discuss his music as well?

His playing on Tony Williams's "Spring" is phenomenal.

"Currently unavailable" at amazon UK - but not before it had reached the top-100 in CD bestsellers list.

"Don't Blame Me" on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1UFrG5jjfn8m7G14i10IJH "Epistrophy" on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5qMNlU5ozfMh5KjDRKSRzG But they are not playable.

Just listened to this one on Spotify two times in a row - great. This Diddley Bow sure is primally brutal. Fenks gents. https://open.spotify.com/album/4EcFtwqwCjkX1mA5Ncgssf?highlight=spotify:track:3UytTZW0p7tYcLDiyfxCTu Glad you liked it.

Well, specifically Nessa releases are easily available in Europe through local amazons: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-Hal-Russell/dp/B00KPI1H7C/ .

I buy CDs if they are not available on streaming services - and a lot of the stuff I listen to is still not (e.g. EMANEM releases, some classical music labels). I don't buy second-hand CDs unless they are OOP.

Yes, thanks. Put it into my bandcamp wishlist. I have exactly one Relative Pitch release, the Butcher-Edwards-Sanders trio, good stuff. There are a few more that look interesting, will get them eventually. Talking about Bandcamp, got the Tarfala Trio (Gustafsson - Guy - Strid) "Syzygy" (otherwise available as LP only on No Business). Impressive. https://nobusinessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/syzygy

Yes. It is mostly quite austere stuff, particularly the later releases. On a more humane side: 1. Madly You - Daunik Lazro, Carlos Zingaro, Joëlle Léandre, Paul Lovens. You can't go wrong with the combination of Lazro and Zingaro. I remember Joe McPhee telling me how great Lazro is and how much he enjoyed playing with him. 2. exaltatio utriusque mundi - Frédéric Blondy, Lê Quan Ninh - for phenomenal and absolutely unique drums (mostly just one bass drum, to be precise) playing by Lê Quan Ninh. The first track is so-so with Blondy and Ninh looking for the right balance, but from then on (when Ninh clearly starts leading) it's fantastic. 3. Stengam - Cor Fuhler. As mentioned above, an absorbing solo piano masterpiece. 4. Ichnites - Pascal Battus, Christine Sehnaoui Abdelnour. Battus is playing "rotating surfaces" here, i.e. various objects pressed upon rotating parts of thrashed walkmans, and the breadth and warmth of sounds he extracts has to be heard to be believed. Works great with saxophonist Abdelnour. I find this a surprisingly joyful and entertaining record. Squidco has some samples: http://www.squidco.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=12910&Store_Code=S&search=pascal+battus&offset=&filter_cat=0&PowerSearch_Begin_Only=0&sort=&range_low=&range_high=&srch_name=1&srch_artist=1&srch_personnel=1

Potlatch has a sale in September - each CD is 10 euro, worldwide shipping included: http://www.potlatch.fr/ . A lot of good stuff on the label.

I just checked - Sclavis is actually from Lyon as well and he did work with Portal in 1970s: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Sclavis
