Booker T & The MGs - Green Onions [London Records, UK 1964 RE]

Two good players

New recordings now up for order https://pmpmusic5.bandcamp.com/album/anthony-braxton-trillium-x Trillium X which has its own short thread already, here https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/92713-anthony-braxton-trillium-x/#comment-1906053 And, the first Thunder Music recording https://www.schott-music.com/de/anthony-braxton-50-years-of-creative-music-no783376.html I've ordered the latter and I'm seriously thinking of taking a leap into his opera work with Trillium X

Shame that's subscriber only, I would have gone for it as a one-off purchase

Pat Metheny Group - Travels An album now loaded with meaning for me. Really? I am surprised at that Just the title alone makes me want to investigate this, so off I go to do so

Whispy...?

Your previous post of this prompted me to have it as a soundtrack to a very stressful all night journey. It was just what I needed, thank you

There was a very good overview of Butcher's recordings in the Wire recently, written by Seymour Wright. It highlighted how little I'd really heard, this being a case in point. I saw him in a trio over Easter and his playing was superb, so controlled and without embellishment. Can you have saxophone haiku?

Yes Japanese Jazz gets talked about a fair bit on the forum I'd say. There's at least one dedicated thread. https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/76926-japanese-jazz/#comment-1412116 Also the "listening to" threads often feature Japanese musicians as leaders and in bands. Gets played a fair deal in this house too

One of my favourite BNs, Moncur is such a great writer and player. I have an original but like it so much I may be tempted by the TP. Also, a great cover

Is that the Tone Port? How is it?

Me neither, always wanted to

The Makathini is a good call and I'd hazard a guess that @felserwouldn't find the chanting offputting It was your championing of them the hooked me in, thank you. I'm hoping Wilkins in particular plays London soon

Sure is! Sample it here https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-box-set-highlights-digital-edition

Immanuel Wilkins - 'The 7th Hand' Better than all of those She was married to Lyons too, for what that's worth if anything when it comes to their musical relationship
