Various - Music Is A Message From Space [Corbett vs Dempsey, USA 2025] Kimiko Kasai with Kosuke Mine Quartet - Yellow Carcass In Blue [Three Blind Mice, Japan 1974 RE]

That's a great story

There's only one Patti...

Quietus reporting his death. https://bsky.app/profile/thequietus.com/post/3lnk2fkwi762y The last time I saw him live about 10 years ago he wasn't in great shape but gave a stunning performance. Pere Ubu were one of the best, although I only saw a later iteration live, and his subsequent solo albums with The Wooden Birds, The Pedestrians and Two Pale Boys made a big impact on me on their release.

That makes sense, they did some previous CD reissues didn't they? I would love to know the story behind the recently discovered tapes

London tickets went crazily quickly and we missed them despite being on full alert It's going to be great, I'm sure, enjoy!

That's the one with the track of them playing in the street, right. Love it No it's not that one but the other BYG, as you were everybody. I still like B-XO though. Interestingly appears to be a UK focussed production as it's priced in £ and Le Gendre is possibly our best Jazz journo From "original tapes" with exec producer being one of the original producers, interesting given the history of BYG that I've learnt on here over the years.

A couple of LPs by French vibist Michel Hausser, 'Vibes+ Flute' with Bobby Jaspar 'Holiday for Vibes and Cembalet' which featuring Michel Portal All in all hitting sweet spots of vibes, flute and clarinet. A new player to me, apart from some judicious online sampling.

🤣

The trio is whispy if not Nordic, you have been warned!

I find that that's a recurring issue when reviewing for a cull. Perhaps I should just listen more often to those I have...

'City Of Broken Dreams' is the one for me although I like the other recordings by the trio. This gives a different perspective and is definitely worth a spin https://www.discogs.com/master/1300627-Giovanni-Guidi-Gianluca-Petrella-Louis-Sclavis-Gerald-Cleaver-Ida-Lupino

I think that trio works better without JBL

One of the best

Mark Wastell - Vibra Trilogy [Confront Recordings]

Vijay Iyer & Wadada Leo Smith - Defiant Life [ECM, Germany 2025]

Kahil El'Zabar & David Murray - Spirit Groove: Golden Sea Duo in Shenzhen [Old Heaven Books]

That's going to be Nordic whispiness @Rabshakeh™ of the highest order, and I can't wait. I've wanted to hear Henriksen with another horn player for a while because it's been a while

Wow!

The Dick Morrissey Quartet - It's Morrissey, Man! [Fontana, UK 1961 mono]

When you looking for influences of the "whispery Nordic stuff" (?!) you can't discount a decidedly European, as in definitely not US, aesthetic perhaps best encapsulated by recordings of Jan Johannson. I always see and hear ECM as a very European label, the most European of all Jazz labels and that's not exclusively because of its geographical location. To miss this is I think to misunderstand the label. Released 1964 but maybe the most ECM of albums

Thanks, I'm not sure I knew that but I did know that its companion piece was released on IAI so should have realised

That's a good album
