Yes, saw him often in Göttingen ... https://peeteruuskyla.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-g-ttinger-jazzfest-1999

Here in a duo with Dr.phil. Ove Volquartz, longtime chairman of the Göttingen Jazz Festival. Both contributed to the recording with Cecil Taylor – see Uuskyla's recommendation below!

A new one by Mira Melford ('s trio).

Guess I'll just post the review since it sums it up pretty nicely: https://www.freejazzblog.org/2025/08/myra-melford-splash-intakt-2025.html

Increasingly, I find myself liking large portions of Intakt's output. This one is not an exception. Free yet quite "bouncy", as the reviewer puts it.

the Melford is excellent. one of the few albums from this year I’ve really enjoyed. would love to hear what folks here have been into.
