 I was hoping it would be a bit more noir than it is

I felt the same. I got a better noir hit off the Mundell Lowe record. 

I'm currently on Lester Bowie's New York Organ Ensemble - The Organizer (DIW, 1991)

More DG in a big band setting:

This band oozes swagger.  They were badass, and they knew it.

In the mood for a bit of that. I'm going to line up In Greece next.

Plus hard to think of anyone who could have made this bunch pop quite like Charli Persip.

Agreed on that. He was still on drums I think in a Gillespie Reunion/Tribute Big Band I saw in the 90s but will have to check. As was Billy Root  ! (In the saxes)

David Murray / Mal Waldron - Silence (Justin Time, 2008)

Nice to return to this one. Good and gutsy.

Lee Konitz and Rich Perry - RichLee (Steeplechase, 1998)

I'm interested whether anyone can think of a better deployment of a shellsuit in jazz than here? Konitz demolishes his sparring partner in polyester terms, giving him a crucial psychological edge when it comes to the secondary issue of the saxophone.

 He did it to Paul Bley too : 

Bley, in his subdued Hawaiian, stands no chance.

The music is so-so, btw.

How did you like this one? I listend to it just once 15 years ago or so, thought it was noisy crap.

I'm pretty much with you. It was my second listen, and I was not more interested than the first time. Nothing to told it together.

Bill Frisell - Have a Little Faith (Elektra Nonesuch, 1993)

From that era when Don Byron really was a name worth following.

Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few - Cosmic Transitions (2021)

A but of a mishmosh of things from the past that are currently fashionable, even down to the vintage Impulse! era font choice. Still, I'll take this over the overhyped jazz kids of my 1990s youth.

Just finished this impossible masterpiece: 

Infinite Search (Embryo, 1969) by Miroslav Vitous

To my utter embarrassment, until today I had believed that this was a different album to Mountain in the Clouds, and had even held forth to a friend regarding how Infinite Search was the slightly superior album. They are, it turns out, the same record.
