Matt Mitchell & Kate Gentile: Snarkhorse

6 CD set 

with various wonderful musicians such as Ben Gerstein, Brandon Seabrook, Kim Cass & Mat Maneri

I saw a version of this group in 2019 and they were incredible 

said to be all “1 bar” compositions  / I’ve listened to the first 2 discs and if you like Mitchell’s previous group recordings you will love this stuff. Lots of grist on the mill.

Finally opted for Pure Pleasure’s LP reissue of Charles Tolliver Music Inc. ‘Live at the Loosdrecht Jazz Festival’.

Retribution for having sold my Black Lion copy to Mole Jazz for a pittance all those years ago ! 

Also threw in a ‘Live at Slugs Vol 2’.:)

Once it arrives, I’ll post some comments about it.

The Pure Pleasure Tolliver reissues I’ve heard so far, mastered by Ray Staff, sound great. I’ll bet the originals never sounded so good.

I had no idea that these were even available. So thank you.

Wonderful recent reissues of Matsuli along with Harari's Rufaro Happiness and Dudu Phukwana And The "Spears" !

Pre-order - not out until mid - Dec., at least here.

 

 

OK thanks. Thought it may be out as it was featured in this week's DMG newsletter. No distribution here

I saw that, but I don't order from DMG. My source says Dec. 17.

Stan Getz - Billy Highstreet Samba (Emarcy). I've skipped over this in the bins for years and years. Today, I thought, "Why not"?

Also, in the New Arrivals bin, they had a Christmas CD by Norah Jones. I enjoy a Christmas CD every now & then, so I picked that up too.

I went a bit mad today and bought 8 records. I just kept walking into shops and finding new stock that I really wanted at good prices. I'm trying to cut my collection down, so this is a disaster.

Do tell, what and where?

Cutting down collection - admirable intention, rarely achieved, I'd say

That wine shop. It had some new stock, including a bunch of records that have been sitting on my want list for ages (especially Coltrane) for decent prices. Then I had some chores on the Essex Road, and wondered into Flashback which has just had a massive purchase of second hand Blue Note reissues in. So that also happened. Disaster.

I'm glad That wine shop isn't easily accessible to me, could be very disastrous.  Flashback used to be my local but more recently I find them very hit and miss. Sounds like you hit nicely

if you want to feel better, I got 11 on Friday and Saturday, the thing that happens when you suddenly end up in a different city with too much time

a bit mixed, my mother had to go to the hospital so someone of the children had to go home to look after a few things... but there is not that much to be done here either and visiting hours are limited... here's what I got:

Chet Baker - Hallucinations (bootleg CD with Rene Thomas)

and the rest are LPs, including some fairly oldtime stuff and some local things

Warne Marsh meets Gary Foster (Eastworld, 1982)

Fletcher Henderson Sextet 1950 (one of those bootleg LPs, with Lucky Thompson)

Horace Tapscott - Flight 17 (that recent reissue)

Omer Simeon Trio - Clarinet A La Creole (10in LP)

The Missourians 1929-1930 (RCA)

Paul Barnes and his Polo Players - The Viol, the Violet and the Vine (Jazzology)

Wilbur de Paris at Symphony Hall (Atlantic)

Vaalbleek - Caoutchouc (Eksakt)

Duo Unkrodt/Zerbe (Amiga)

Noodband - Shopping Around (Swingmaster)

R-2328067-1277226012.jpeg.jpg

this last album, I got partly for the cover which shows the band leaving a favorite record store (Swingmaster in Groningen)
