Looking forward to that Dave Holland show.

This is an interesting take on the classic early Cure album. It took me a couple of listens before I figured out what they added to the original, but it's grown on me. I think it's only available as a Bandcamp download, Worth checking out.

Multi-instrumentalist Henry Threadgill works flute into a lot of his compositions

Henry Threadgill - disks 4/5

I've only seen her once (at the NYC Winter JazzFest last year), but I thought she was very good. She was presenting Allison Miller/Carmen Staaf ‘Science Fair’ w/Dayna Stephens, Jason Palmer & Matt Penman.

I was only there a few times, but I liked the room and the sound was very good, too.

I like some of it. Some of it doesn't hold up that well, but overall I appreciate the concept. I even bought the recent Steven Wilson 'complete' Dukes remaster set.

Yes! That was a fun show. Jason is usually very entertaining, but that one was more than most. I haven't seen the Bandwagon in a long time either, and forgot how good they are.

I picked this version up a long time ago, but never spent much time with it. I know the original album well, but need to go take a listen to the "Deluxe" stuff.

How do you like it? I listened to it once and it didn't grab me, and I've been following her for years.

Don't know about recordings, but I saw them in 73 at the Whiskey A Go Go, in Hollywood (of all places!)

Although a collection of previously unreleased material, this holds together VERY well and is a solid addition to Dave's catalog

I agree it's underrated, but as Mjazzg said it was a direction change from the Manchester dance vibe. Since that's what put them on the map I could see where fans would be disappointed. I never saw them, unfortunately. In a similar vein, I like the Charlatans UK a lot, too.

I go that email, too. VERY skeptical about those May dates happening, but I'll keep an open mind. I think the fall is more realistic.

The Jazz Gallery has had some interesting shows. I plan to watch Eric Harland tomorrow.

I like that album better than their first one!

Re: the Band of Gypsys box. I think it's a must-have for any Jimi fan. Many tracks have been released in various configurations over the years, the box is something else. It's eye-opening to hear the complete sets and how no song was played the same way twice over the course of the 4 sets. Other than these 4 shows there really isn't any other 'official' BoG on record. The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions album is a fun listen, but it's literally a rehearsal and mostly jamming.

I've seen him a LOT over the years - with Dexter, Woody, and more recently with the Cookers. A class act!

Had this on pre-order since it was announced. Really looking forward to it. WAY back in the day I bought a bootleg of this show. One of those old generic white covers, but on transparent yellow vinyl.
