I don't think I've heard this one. Looks very good. This is different than the Peacock Lane date, right? (which I believe was recorded in 1957). 

Here are the tracks. There is no exact rec. date listed in the liners. But IMO its the same as the Peacock lane CD from Freshsound (FSCD-1016) which has listed as recording date December 1956

Nat Birchall - Ancient Africa (2021)

I'm not the biggest Birchall fan but I enjoyed this. Retro genre work, but the genre is A Love Supreme, rather than Relaxin' or Moanin'.

Hideo Shiraki - In Fiesta (Teichiku, 1961)

Having just finished:

Matana Roberts - The Chicago Project (Central Control, 2007)

Old and New Dreams - Old and New Dreams (ECM, 1979)

I started listening to jazz in the late 1990s, when the "ECM sound" was definitely too much of a thing. I can't imagine how it must have felt to have bought a record like this one when it came out, and suddenly be transported for the first time into a sound world/production that was so crisp you could almost see under Charlie Haden's fingernails or count each individual droplet on the bell of Don Cherry's trumpet.

Spending the day with this one and volume two. Totally transfixed by Moffett's dancing drums.

Plus, he got that hat just right.

If you like this, you might be interested to know that two records were released last year in a new series called "The Lost Tapes Of Austrian Free-Jazz Avantgarde" and featuring some of these musicians.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

This collects some of Tjader's very best straightahead vibes soloing.

Collectors have about 10 hours of taped material from the Peacock date. Maybe one day these will be officially or semi-officially released.

A classic which I've always liked.

Saw bassist Earl May at a much later date, but not so late that I can remember who he was with.

Dizzy Gillespie, mid 1970s?

i think I’ve seen May too but for the life of my can’t recall who with. It wasn’t in the UK though.
