Thanks. I will certainly listen to it.

I enjoyed but haven't really revisited Reptile. The tuba/soundsystem rhythm thing is definitely what makes me most interested in Sons of Kemet, although I prefer Hutchings' other records where you get to hear him play more.

Which others of his?  I know the Ancestors

Earlier this afternoon:

CD 1 - originally released as Sonando, Sanchez's first Concord release

Meanwhile, I'm listening to this for the first time:

Lee Konitz Quartet - Ideal Scene (Soul Note, 1983).

Recorded on an auspicious day for me, so I am pleased at how much I am enjoying it. Nice to hear Lee Konitz in a setting with a bit more group dynamics and arrangements than usual for him (not a criticism of his other records!).

Masterful.

And hooray for Al Harewood!

CD 2 - Franco and T.P.OK.Jazz,  Miriam Makeba, Orchestre Stukas

miles davis/kind of blue/freddie freeloader

[HutchFan]

One of Tito's best from the 1980s, IMO.

I primarily meant the two Ancestors disks. Comet too, although I'm less into that.  

But his playing elsewhere is good too, I think: particularly on that Makaya McCraven record and on Alexander Hawkins' Unit[e].

In the mood for a bit of classic Mingus!

Shabaka shows up in all kinds of places. Sometimes vocals ... 
or maybe clarinet and sax like on these:

plus a few more...

Thanks, I have the Zed-U and remember listening to the Kinch when it came out.

He's also on a Five Blokes on Ogun

Yeah, agree about those. I had forgotten he was on the Hawkins. I really need to revisit that, it was a favourite when it was released

I love it. Really hot stuff. Only Tete Montoliu´s piano could have been recorded better.
