I’ve only a couple of Golia’s and so really don’t have a good idea of what he’s about

 

NP

Annette Peacock/ Paul Bley———Dual Unity———(Bamboo)

I only have this and a couple of others. I get the impression he's ploughed a fairly individual furrow, initially playing with a fairly consistent group of West Coast fellow travellers. His later discography features some very interesting collaborations. He seems to have mastered a wide range of woodwinds and likes to feature a good number on any release. If have a later solo disc which is very impressive.

I tend to dip into his discography every now and again and realise that I should do more often. Always adventurous but in a way that has a lightness of touch and space to the ensemble playing. I'm sure there's others on the board who know his work better

And, I'd love to hear that Peacock/Bley again. Heard it once at a friends a long time ago

today's other arrival

Joe Farrell really stands out on initial listening

apologies for the oversized image...

fiery stuff from Mr Vesala and cohorts. Just released on the Svart label. Not too sure the three minutes of interview included will mean much outside his homeland audience though.Time for some Finnish lessons perhaps.

I happened upon them a month or so ago when hunting for any Juhani Aaltonen and contacted the label as they were pre=issue at that stage. They're Finnish Radio recordings. There's another with Aaltonen and Vesala in a quartet which I also bought. Recording quality is good. 

My next purchase will be their reissue of Nana by Vesala's trio as I'm not likely to find an original at an affordable price.

I got mine from Juno

Thanks for that , I can’t seem find that at Juno but I’m navigating using my phone. I did notice that Hot Lotta is due for reissue.

no, they're not there are they. Maybe they only stocked one of each! I've found their restock email featuie works well (wish they'd post with stiffeners though - my only gripe with them)

I have a CD of Hot Lotta somewhere.Now that is fiery, from memory

Monk Plays Ellington

It's a shame that most of the pianists who recorded Monk tributes didn't use at least some of the inventiveness and imagination that Monk did in his Ellington tribute.

Booker Little 4 and Max Roach

Probably the worst recorded music I've ever heard from Nola's. They got Booker's trumpet right, but everyone else is somewhere in the distance.

I bought this recently and I was staggered at the  poor quality of the recording. I wondered if mono issues might be better. Interesting music but marred by dreadful audio.

Maarten Van Norden/Boy Raaymakers Quintet -- Chicken Song -- (BVHaast, NL)

picked this up along with a number of other nice Dutch records on vacation to Amsterdam this last week.

[Niko]

Ha, I saw Chicken Song stand at Concerto in Amsterdam last Thursday on my own first visit there... guess it's gone now... had been contemplating getting it next week when I return (along with a few others I left standing there...)

[clifford_thornton]

I got it at another shop so I'm sure it's still there!

Now,

Orkest De Volharding -- s/t -- (De Volharding, NL)

excellent album; previously only had the 7", and this is much more full-on.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

I want 

 

too, i think itll be better than this:

 

 

[Niko]

here is one that I bought that day, Niko Langenhuijsen - Hypo (VaraJazz), from 1984, one of the local (Tilburg) modern Jazz LPs I was still missing... an interesting line-up (trumpet, trombone, violin, cello (Ernst Reijseger) plus rhythm section including Langenhuijsen on piano rather than bass).  More boppish than expected - and I am not a big fan of the violin solos... but it does have nice moments.

will first have to see what next Saturday in Utrecht does to the music budget... (will anybody else be there?)

Cranked up - sounds great !

yeah, I've seen that album but never heard it... did pick up a gorgeous duo LP by Reijseger and Sean Bergin called "Mistakes." Recommended.

might have to hit the Utrecht fair next year; we were in that city as well on holiday and really fell in love with it.
