Thanks

I didn't make the connection first time but watching again now, it's got to be. Looks a lot like his Dad Just watched it through again, really enjoyable especially that final tune

Very happy for mod, calling @JSngry, to change thread title to "Reports Of..." until confirmed elsewhere

I thought you might

Checked, yeah only the studio session was reissued. Maybe it didn't sell so haven't bothered with the live These are additional to those previously released on Leo, different cities on the tour Here's the details https://anthonybraxton-bam.bandcamp.com/album/quartet-england-1985

He's very big in the younger scene that crosses over to other genres of R'n'B, Neo Soul, hip hop etc And in a way it doesn't surprise me that Bartz hired him as he's always been open to similar crossover. (cue the "but he's not Jazz" protests from the Jazz Police)

Gilles Peterson is reporting that Andy Bey has died https://www.instagram.com/p/DI-CaPzhdCa/?igsh=MWRvYmNsZDM1NWlmdw== What a voice, what a career

I thought Hat Art reissued it, going to check Checked, yeah only the studio session was reissued. Maybe it didn't sell so haven't bothered with the live

Noah Davis at the Barbican Art Gallery My introduction to Davis although I feel I may have seen his work in group shows. Very thoughtfully curated, some outstanding paintings and a very sad story. https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2025/event/noah-davis

When I asked about a CD edition I was told that that's what AB would like and "wait and see". I've had the London Leo since the late 80s I think and saw the quartet in '91 at the Jazz Cafe, very memorable

Great cover art too. On Intakt so should be able to track it down here

That's one that I don't know so well, I do have it somewhere so will reacquaint

Muneer A.F. and The Rhythm String Band Vol III - For Them [Idibib Productions, USA 1988] Fascinating album,a precursor to Threadgill's Zooid sound but without the saxophone. Either that or influenced by the contemporaneous Threadgill Sextett.

That's a terrific pairing. RLJ is desert island territory for me, possibly 'Pirates' over that one, depends on the day

No solo tracks on 'Ondas' so it's not the one @Erick seeks. But what a superb album it is, my LP sounds absolutely gorgeous. Christensen (one of my favourite drummers) and Gomez are so on it throughout

Me neither, time to get it out

Admirable reasoning there @Pim 1. I tend to agree but do buy LPs of new releases of artists that I really like or that the music sounds like it should be on LP (please don't ask me to explain this one, I can't!) 2. This has never bothered me perhaps because I'm old enough to have grown up with LPs so getting up is natural. I can get fidgety with a 70+minute CD these days 3. Completely agree about this. I have CD artists and LP artists for much the same reason. Interestingly I have Brahem's complete catalogue on CD so he's a CD artist in my head. So why did I buy the LP this time, see reason 1 above... 4. that was silly And as for them not touring here, I still blame f@@##£g Brexit, definite drop in European acts visiting (and who can blame them really)

That's a great album whether it's the one being sought or not

This made me wonder what she is doing now, according to wiki and discogs her last recording was 1994

Nice, they're not playing the UK. I think the album is really strong, I'm surprised you didn't buy the LP.

Yes, very interesting

OK, cut the playing then

If only they'd cut the chat Oh yes, and yes again!

Oh yes!

And when your sauna deflates...?
