Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread

[Clunky]

Latest arrival from Newcastle 

 

John Pope——Citrintas——-(New jazz & improvised music recordings)

 

Not sure what prompted buying this other than hearing some nice sounding clips on Bandcamp.  It’s a soulful quintet ( no piano or guitar) . Grooves nicely and makes a good first impression. Hope that doesn’t sound like feint praise as the music strikes me as accessible but still adventurous. Any one else heard of this group.

Yes, I like it for the same reasons as you.

I tend to buy everything Pope releases, he's an interesting new voice

Been listening to Biggi Vinkeloe lately, she is such a clever player.

I really enjoyed that Water Music record that he did with John Garner.

Yeah, it's a good one, even if Vinkeloe is the least interesting player here. Phillips and Uuskyla are phenomenal on this one.

Finally got round to listening to this. A really nice record.

[T.D.]

Listening on bandcamp, going to purchase. Trio w. Michael Bisio, Newman Taylor Baker.

Bisio regularly hosts music events not far from me and I've often heard him live with Shipp in various configurations.

I bought the 5CD box set of [ahmed], two discs in and it's a blast. They're certainly developing a signature sound, possibly not for everyone, that's taking the acoustic quartet to places it rarely visits.

[jazzbo]

I ordered that yesterday, looking forward to it.

The box set is very good indeed. I wasn't able to get to the Oto residency they did last week, bet that was blistering

Bandcamp? - Where does this ship from??

Based on the bandcamp site quoting price in Swedish Krona (SEK), I assume Sweden.

I initially stopped there, BUT on review the shipping fee is actually quite reasonable, although I expect the effective exchange rate (net of credit card or Paypal surcharge) to be less favorable than quoted:

"that’s $45.69 USD, plus $9.59 shipping for United States."

That's less than I paid and I collected it from Café Oto!

Tempted. 😎

[T.D.]

Me too. I put one in my cart to check shipping costs and was pleasantly surprised.

Second time it's happened recently: I bought some CDs direct from Graindelavoix (classical vocal ensemble) in Belgium and US postage was also reasonable. The package was cheaper than it would've been buying from US dealers. 👍

What US dealer(s) have it??

Sorry, I was referring to my Belgian classical purchase.

I checked (my most likely suspects: DMG, Squidco, DG and Forced Exposure) yesterday and did not find any US dealers stocking the Ahmed box. Although Dusty Groove showed an upcoming 2-LP set on Astral Spirits (iirc) that might be a subset of the box.

The Astral Spirits is not a subset. Different concert, from Glasgow.

I bought my copy from Seymour Wright in person the other day and had a very pleasant short chat with him. He was very pleased with how both the box set and the AS double LP have come out.

I haven't listened to the LP release yet.

I think I’m going to get that Ahmed set too. 

this also looks fantastic
