What music did you buy today?

[niels]

And today I ordered my September "online" batch. Nice mixture of some old and some new I think:

The Convergence Quartet - Slow and Steady (2013, NoBusiness)

Craig Taborn Trio - Chants (2013, ECM)

Fred Anderson - Blue Winter (2005, Eremite)

Fred Anderson - Timeless (2006, Delmark)

Darius Jones - Man-ish Boy (A Raw and Beautifull Thing) (2008, AUM Fidelity)

Mal Waldron - The Quest (1961, New Jazz)

[colinmce]

You hit the motherlode! The Quest is an experience like no other.

[Steve Reynolds]

Blue Winter, baby

December 12th, 2004 recorded live @ Johnson State College ( I think ) in Vermont

Best sounding recording of Parker/Drake in existence

[jlhoots]

Wadada Leo Smith: Great Lakes Suite

Kasey Chambers: Bittersweet

[Larry Kart]

Satch Plays Fats

[niels]

@Colinmce and Steve Reynolds, I have to say that lately I just feel like a kid in a candy store music wise. Since a year or so, my horizon has expanded to so much more (to me) new music, that in the coming times/years I can spend my budget purely to "essential" albums on my wish list I think.

And I have to be honest, this expansion has to be largely credited to this forum. There's so much knowledge and recommendations shared in current topics, but also in the "vaults" of the forum, that my wishlist is just excessively growing with every month.

Fred Anderson CDs:

-Vintage Duets

-Live at the Velvet Lounge (Kowald/Drake)

-A Night at the Velvet Lounge/Live at the 'Made in Chicago' Festival

Lennie Tristano Quartet - Unreleased Recordings 2xLP

[Steve Reynolds]

The okkadisk trio with Anderson/Kowald/Drake is one of the best Fred Anderson recordings. The great bassist really pushes it.

I don't know Fujii, but this one has come well-recommended on this board, so I'm excited to hear it.

I saw Fujii in a trio the other night at Pathhead ( a small village outside Edinburgh. Tom Bancroft (drums ) lead the completely improvised set . It was a stunning concert that really defies description. I felt truly privileged . I ended up buying 4 discs featuring her or her husband ( trumpeter Natsuki Tamura ) I think her Ma- do quartet is possibly her best group.

I am promising myself to get this recording.

Plus I love the cover.

I hear good, even great things, about Satoko Fuji, but it is going to take me a while to get over her disastrous Vision Fest appearance. Maybe her husband can take some of the blame for that, but it was still her gig. One of the big disappointments for me. Perhaps she comes across better on disc.

Broke the piggy bank today and ordered:

1) Badenhorst, Joachim / John Butcher / Paul Lytton: Nachtigall

2) Decoy with Joe Mcphee: Spontaneous Combustion [2 CDs] (have the LP but need the additional minutes)

3) Mitchell, Roscoe / Mike Reed: In Pursuit of Magic

4) Nilssen-Love, Paal Large Unit: Erta Ale [3 CD BOX SET]

1) and 4) sound intriguing. Would love to hear your thoughts down the road

2) is a given as the first live recording by Decoy & McPhee has some passages that really explode with McPhee playing as fierce a tenor saxophone as I've heard from him for some time.

I expect more and better with a 2 CD set

Similar thoughts here, Steve

1) has been on my 'to buy' list for ages. I've a couple of Badenhorst's solo releases that I enjoy.

3) Everything I've heard with Mike Reed on drums has been good and the one opportunity to hear him live certainly didn't disappoint so the duet with RM intrigues.

4) As for the PNL - it's interesting that he should form a large unit after his work with Brotzmann and Gjerstad's. From little I've read about it he's got a new generation of players on board which is good.

and Decoy? well it is Decoy

nice haul, worth sacrificing the piggy bank for I'd say (just surprised Moran's 'All Rise' isn't in there )

[Leeway]

Steve, you skipped #3 .

mjazzg, you know I wanted it but budget and all that . I'm waiting for his next "collaboration" - who can it be? Brotzmann? Evan Parker? I'll hold out for that.

Not a huge fan of drum duets with saxophonists unless they are Evan Parker & Eddie Prevost or Paul Lytton or John Stevens

Seriously it isn't my favorite set-up

I like a third wheel to amp up the interplay and energy level

I'd like to hear Roscoe with Mark Sanders!!!

[colinmce]

I found $10 copies of Charles Gayle's Abiding Variations and Berlin Movement on FMP. The seller has burned me twice before bit I guess it's worth a shot again. (They always refund for the ones "lost in the mail"...)

[colinmce]

Got around to ordering the new Coltrane and Giuffre live sets.

[mjazzg]

Having realised they were limited - the two Audio One releases "The Midwest School" and "An International Report" from Vandermark and cohorts.

Also, Scorch Trio & Mars Williams - Made in Norway [Rune Gramofon]- wanted some more Williams and thought this could be a winning combination

[mjazzg]

pre-order of Tyshawn Sorey's 'Alloy'. The apparent return to 'Koan' dynamics makes this very appealing

Recorded less than a fortnight after Duke Ellington's version and owing nothing to Ellington, but still extraordinary.

Well, regarding the Wels and Chicago recording it was kind funny. I wanted to buy a DKV trio recording for some time now, and on the same day I listened to Don Cherry's Complete Communion since quite a while (and loving it) I noticed the DKV trio used that theme for disk one. Than on that same day I also read in the "Best track you heard all week" topic your comment regarding track 2 and 3 of disk two, so it was an easy decision after that.
