YEs, Riverside has some great stuff.

Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & His Inter Reformers Band - Eda to mose okunkun - Decca is my favourite Obey, and Obey is my favourite Highlife artist. His rhythm section on this one is fabulous!

If you can't find it, I'll PM you a link.

Also to Experience 001.

Hey, that's great. Thanks. 

I have The Horse The Man and The Boy? by Obey and "his international bros" on vinyl, which I love. That one sounds great as well from the video I found. It's going to get ordered!

I don't know where you can get it ordered. Do tell, please. There's probably others I could get, as I've only 39 Obey albums

Fresh would be nice, but these will be second handm There are some copies of the LP available on discogs in reasonable enough condition.

Oh right, Discogs is too far away for the postman for me nowadays.

Ray Charles - The Genius After Hours (MFSL SACD). Ray playing some of his finest blues. I really should pick up the companion date, "The Great Ray Charles", one of these days.

Can't get enough of Mr. Five By Five. This one has a version of "Tricks Ain't Walkin' No More," one of the odder pieces in Rushing's oeuvre!!

 

[Rabshakeh]

Peter Brötzmann and Han Bennink - Schwartzwaldfahrt (FMP, 1977).

I started to listen to Frank Kimbrough's Lonely Woman and realized that I didn't have the heart to listen to it it tonight.  I went with Berkman instead.  He flies under the radar, I think, but he is a fine pianist.  Besides bringing in Tom Harrell on an increasingly rare sideman appearance (Harrell is also on Berkman's Handmade), you can't go wrong with Johnathan Blake and Ed Howard.

William Parker and David Budbill - What I Saw This Morning

purchased from AUM maybe the day before they updated their site. No longer see it listed. I feel very fortunate to have it.

Decisions, decisions ... had never seen this but a visit to discogs told me its an MJR LP originally and a stroll to the stacks showed me I do own it (thank god for their red/black spines and the fact that I was buying a lot of those so I put them on the shelf together). But now I see three unissued tracks.  I should probably spring for this, just wish it were free shipping on Amazon.

Indeed, a very good record.

ErstLive 005 by Keith Rowe/Sachiko M/Toshimaru Nakamura/Otomo Yoshihide (ErstWhile, 2005).

I loved this one when it came out, but I guess that nothing ages worse than yesterday's electronic improvisation. I can't see what I liked about it now.

Now on to Ethan Iverson's Costumes Are Mandatory (HighNote, 2013). 

 

Lee Konitz' chemistry with Larry Grenadier is the main appeal of this one for me.  I pulled it out mainly because the day it was released, I was in sunny Avignon at the theatre festival, and that's an appealing place to be, right now, from the point of view of icy 31 December 2020 London.
