I'll second this, wholeheartedly!

I've never been able to listen to more than 5 minutes of Ibragon for precisely this same reason. Also a player that I hear as technique over content but we all hear differently. von Schlippenbach, one of the absolute masters indeed

Berne used to be a regular visitor to The Vortex, I was lucky enough to see these bands in real time, great music guaranteed

And it seems that Shipp has a new release himself to promote... here's hoping his new found exposure shifts some extra units with all the Andre3000 fans buying it

Very interesting news piece on BBC radio yesterday about the positive effects some of these weight loss drugs are having on other long term illnesses. I can't remember the details but it was a highly respected medical academic, one who led UK COVID vaccine effort, that was being so positive about them. Sounded very encouraging This isn't the radio piece nor the academic I referenced but looks like fundamentally the same story on the BBC website https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9d5pq4y5wpo Obvious caveats as with all medical trials but nonetheless potentially very interesting And just as an aside, to @Pim's point about exercise/calorie intake being the sole weight loss strategy, not everyone is in position to physically exercise to any great extent. Yes they then need to be more careful with their diet but some disabling health conditions have physical and mental consequences not always in the individual's control or at the very least very difficult to control I leave that there and say no more.

Lovely album. I'm a big fan of Armaroli in whatever setting

I saw a similar show in London a few years ago, it too was really good https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/picasso-and-paper

Dua Lipa's worried already

Maybe a duet album with Andre 3000 next?

Definitely!

Lauren Henderson - Conjuring [Brontosaurus Records]

This again, love it!

This whole episode (not this thread) is just making me smile. So much hot air from the self-appointed defenders of the faith. Andre 3000's press people must be loving it.

Definitely agree. It's a fine band New to me too but it sounds very good on initial acquaintance, thank you for posting it. I buy downloads, I know you don't, so will be buying this one for $7

Yes, they're all strong, some great players with him too, although I wasn't so taken by the Jackson tribute

Hard-nosed improv performance wrecker, that one?

Off to search for that recent quote of yours about being ruthless and unsentimental when it comes to clear outs...going soft? I nearly bought that album this week

It's the sitting on the fence that's so annoying

My copy comes with scratch on the title track for added vintage authenticity... It's a fine album

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
