Tyshawn Sorey Trio +1 With Greg Osby – The Off-Off Broadway Guide To Synergism (Pi, 2022)

Just listening to the taster on Spotify at the moment, but I find this a little disappointing.

Sorey is wonderful, but the record breathes the same sort of close air as some of the 00s Motian releases, but without the strength of ideas that Lovano and Frisell brought. I find Aaron Diehl particularly disappointing but Osby not far behind. I would be interested in finding out other members' views, particularly those who've heard the full set.

I like it (the whole thing) more than you do.

Is it good? Venus is an interesting label but with an uneven output.

 

It is good, but not outstanding. A few of the other Eddie Higgins albums on Venus are, in my opinion, better.

 

Now playing .

Much later my wife bought me the Max Bollemann-Book (the sound engeneer form Timeless records) and I was surprised what horrible story was about the surroundings  when this record was made......

What are you referring to?

good one

Avishai Cohen Trio – Shifting Sands (Naive, 2022)

I like Cohen's compositions, but I am not sure that I have ever enjoyed one of his records. I tend to give them two or three dutiful listens and then forget them.

I'd like to hear a more dynamic and perhaps less serious group handle his material, with a bit more zip than he seems to allow his groups.

Al Jarreau – Glow (Reprise, 1976)

Streaming this one after @Teasing the Koreanset off a burst of thoughts about the transitional era between 1975 and 1982 in the Black Jazz thread.

It was a date in 1985, I think an album where Woody Shaw was accompanied by and Yugoslawien Quartet of ts, p,b,dr, and they were very good and so nice people, but when Woody rang the door he started to make fist movements against Max Bolleman and in the studio he said that Max Bolleman is an racist. He was completly unruly when it came about blowing into the mike, he just would blow into a dead mike.
He threw his cigarette ends on the floor or stuck them on the ceiling and with him was a junkie woman, who threw all the toalet paper into the toalet and than watered the hole studio and thought it´s a joke..... and Max Bolleman says it was a miracle that music could be produced and it was mostly due to those nice albeit embarrassed men who played with him. 

I had seen Woody Shaw two years later at jazzland, and though he was not as irrascible, he caused enough trouble and left a lot of people in embarrasment....

Likely one of his best with "This Time" being close ....
