Paul Bley Quintet - Barrage [ESP]

complete with lovely thudding pressing fault for authenticity

? Whenever I come across a clean ESP pressing, I feel like there's something wrong with it.

Yes, it doesn't feel right. Listening to New York Art Quartet now which is surprisingly blemish free

Globe Unity Orchestra - Jahrmarkt/Local Fair [Po Torch]

first listen.Side 2 might just be the maddest piece of music I've heard in a very long time

That is wild stuff. Local Fair sounds like a precursor to Sergey Kuryokhin's Pop Mechanics projects in the 1980s and '90s.

Jane Ira Bloom: Mighty Lights (Enja)

Brought back good memories of hearing this band (w. Haden, Blackwell, Hersch) play live a couple of times. She had something going back then and somehow seemed to lose it along the way to now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I've kept the early albums I have by her, but I've never kept the more recent Bloom albums I've tried for more than a couple of months.

Now playing:

"Mighty Lights" is one of Bloom's earliest efforts (1982). I hope by "early" you mean prior to 2000. Because if you missed "The Nearness" (1995) or "Red Quartets" (1999), you missed some good stuff. I do agree that her latest efforts (2000-2013) are not as good as her earlier stuff.

Actually, she lost my attention earlier than that - around the time of Modern Drama. I heard her play live a number of times prior to that recording and bought a couple of her recordings after that one, but I've only kept the ones before Modern Drama. Just my take and tastes.
