Franco D'Andrea - Quartet Live / My Shuffle (Red, 2 LPs on 1 CD)
with Tino Tracanna (ts, ss), Attilio Zanchi (b), and Gianni Cazzola (d)

The two albums go together well because they were both drawn from the same concert, recorded in Montpellier, France in 1985. 

Outstanding.

Basil "Mannenberg" Coetzee & Lionel Pillay - Plum and Cherry (As Shams/The Sun, 1979)

I wonder if We Are Busy Bodies is planning to reissue this LP.  The music is from the same '79 session that produced the side-long title cut on Shrimp Boats.  And it's got that same sort of loping, hypnotic feel.

I hope so because it's so great.

Remy Le Boeuf - Remy Le Boeuf's Assembly Of Shadows (Soundspore, 2019)

First listen to this recent big band record and not that impressed. The drums have a looped quality that feels like fake swing, and the arrangements sound too obviously written on a programme - you can practically see the blocks of sounds moving past. Not a record to which I would return.

Excellent, this one. Very happy ECM made it available on streaming platforms - it was never on CD.

Just a bit more of Spike Robinson - a great swinger

Van Der Geld's a bit of a sleeper in the ECM/Japo catalogues. All his releases are well worth hearing I think

Tumi Mogorosi – Group Theory: Black Music (Mushroom Hour, 2022)

My first listen to this one. Really excellent, and recommended.

re: The Adam Shulman recording. It is a good one. Well worth 44 minutes of your listening time. Both saxophonists are in fine form.  Stewart in particular sounds better here (to me anyway) than on his own "Lighting of the Lamps" CD recorded a day before.
