Д.Д.

I have not kept up for the last 15 years or so, and it's unlikely I will, but from the older stuff I remember liking these three: Children of Ibeji (on Enja MW, 1992): https://www.discogs.com/Ivo-Perelman-Children-Of-Ibeji/release/1974004 The Eye Listens with Michael Wimberly and Wilber Morris (on Boxholder, 1999): https://www.discogs.com/Ivo-Perelman-The-Eye-Listens/release/536752 The Hammer with Jay Rosen (on Leo, 1998): https://www.discogs.com/Ivo-Perelman-Jay-Rosen-The-Hammer/release/2492679 None of these is on Spotify. The first two are OOP (sorry), but should be relatively easy to find. Ah, and one more: En Adir (Traditional Jewish Songs) with Marilyn Crispell, Gerry Hemingway and William Parker (who is somewhat less annoying than usual here) on Music & Arts, 1996: https://www.discogs.com/Ivo-Perelman-Quartet-En-Adir-Traditional-Jewish-Songs/release/3246054 . This one's on Spotify.

You don't really need to "search" for it, the CD (or even LP, if you are so inclined) is available directly from the label: https://www.moers-music.com/productscd/odean-pope-trio-out-for-a-walk-cd2072

Don't know the answers, but I love this (Almost Like Me) album! Regarding shady-grady, I find it odd that "Out for a Walk" reuses the the artwork from the unrelated Pope's Soul Note release "Epitome".

Not sure about "the best", but I like these a lot. All of them are not exactly jazz, though. https://mikroton.bandcamp.com/album/fracture-mechanics https://f-a-t-a-k-a.bandcamp.com/album/prediction-and-warning And just released: Sorry the images are so small.

Today only Ayler records gives a 20% discount on all bandcamp purchases (both downloads and CDs) with a discount code 65bcf20 I bought a couple of albums: https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/garden-s https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/tower-vol-4

A lot of live Ronald Shannon Jackson stuff on Spotify / bandcamp (apparently, released by his estate).

Owen Howard (drums) "Sojourn" (KOCH Jazz 1995, recorded in 1993) with Chris Potter, Larry Grenadier, Phil Grenadier, and Brad Shepik: https://www.discogs.com/Owen-Howard-Sojourn/release/4367486 This one is actually really good. To be fair, I don't know how much of a profile the sidemen had in 1993, but by now all of them (expect for Phil Grenadier, I guess) are definitely more well-known than Owen Howard.

I should have been the first!!!!! My wife distracted me when I was posting (pick up the kids from the kindergarten - woman, don't you see I am BUSY?!?!)!!!!! For 17 years since I joined this forum I was waiting for this moment - to be the first one to post about this (mediocre) Chris Fagan album when THE RIGHT MOMENT COMES!!! And then some American Joe posts about it a split second before I do!!!!!! Americans were not even supposed to be awake at that time!!!! What an abject humiliation!!!!!! Have no choice but to quit this forum in disgrace now (might have to consider a divorce too)!!!!!!! What a coincidence, though .

Sonny Brown (drummer with Roland Kirk, Attila Zoller, etc.): https://www.discogs.com/artist/646690-Sonny-Brown?filter_anv=0&type=Credits

Chris Fagan (alto saxophone) with Bobby Bradford, Reggie Workman and Andrew Cyrille - "Lost Bohemia" (Open Minds, 1992): https://www.discogs.com/Chris-Fagan-Lost-Bohemia/release/1014907 It's OK, nothing special.

This one (all 14 tracks) is available at Spotify (copyright Verve / UMG): https://open.spotify.com/album/2e8bHUiUMHPTNJuCgUvXZG

Is this the solo or the Blue Note one?

You might want to watch the DIscogs page: https://www.discogs.com/Carlos-Ward-Quartet-Feat-Woody-Shaw-Lito/release/4238572 . One copy was sold there for a modest €12 a month ago. I bought it Italy in 2002 and thought it was actually not that good. Ward is playing better on the Blackwell dates. There's definitely better Shaw out there. Sold it to someone on this forum a few years ago. Curious why it was deleted from the Leo catalog. Don't forget Ward with Cecil Taylor, Bologna and Vienna concerts on Leo. Lyons he is not, but he's holding pretty well. I also like his two duets with Karl Berger from the Berger's "Conversations" album, the flute one in particular.

New Trevor Watts solo release: https://www.hi4headrecords.com/catalogue.html#lockdown

A good one. I guess you saw it, but just in case - it is offered on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Cor-Fuhler-7-CC-In-Io/release/2347882

I totally agree.

Send a message to the Discogs users who own it, they might be willing to trade / sell or will rip it for you: https://www.discogs.com/release/stats/6965111#collection

Did this really have to be an 8-CD box, no way to edit it to 7?!

Oh, thanks for the correction, my bad.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I am selling this OOP set from 2016. Here is a Discogs entry: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Impulse-25-Seminal-Jazz-Albums-In-One-Box/release/11436745 There is a slight shelf wear to the cardboard box. The CDs are in excellent condition, many never played. The price: €45 ($49) plus shipping (€10 to Europe, €20 elsewhere). Payment: bank transfer (preferred), PayPal.

Skopelitis / Sharrock "Faith Moves". Haven't listened to it for a long time - what a gorgeous music.

Well, I guess you could make a point comparing bad Zappa to bad Stockhausen. Perhaps you might want to illustrate it with a superior version of "Billy the Mountain" (with excellent Don Preston solo at 22:30): One thing that Zappa liked in Kaylan and Volman was that they were good sight readers, and he gave them some tough ones to sing. According to Kaylan, Zappa was even willing to tolerate their getting high (permanently) because this did not affect their performance. Good Zappa, on the other hand...:
