I can’t see music getting less accessible than this but I really, really dig these kind of Evan Parker solo outings. It’s listening to music in a whole other sense than how you listen to most music. When you would play it in the background it might sound as random sounds. It asks absolute concentration and focus. But when you listen with full focus you get sucked into a universe of sounds you did not knew yet. Plus you hear lots of structures and logics actually. Fascinating stuff. Not always in the mood, but when I am this stuff always clicks immediately with me. And Parker’s breathing/blowing/playing skills are literally mindblowing.

pretty much the only Jarret that gets spun regularly here to be honest. But this one is exceptionally good I must admit.

Yeah it's good but probably not what you're used too by him. @felser that's the cd you're talking about right? I see someone on Discogs says he could analyse cd's with a certain software and the software said they we're MP3 files.

Definitely! Been a while since I spun it. now playing:

Gheorghe if you only have 2 or 3 Pharoah Sanders albums it's about time to get a whole lot more 😜

Now this would be a great candidate. Deserves a good reissue.

I’m pretty sure you will. It has Pharoah Sanders, Cecil McBee and Rashied Ali on most tracks plus some percussionists. Charlie Haden replaces McBee on the last track and that track has Vishnu Wood on oud. It’s prime Alice Coltrane.

Count me in as another ‘Kicker fan’. Though not as exciting as his later works it’s a highly enjoyable record that I would not want to miss. Excellent version of Bedouin 😍

The Village Vanguard album has that personell right? Must have been quite a show I believe that!

Yes definitely. I check updates everyday and sometimes months pass by without any new items. And just on the moment you think about quitting that habit something finally shows up

Count me in as a Sudler fan as well but yet have to buy those Steeplechase records. Their definitely on my to buy list. Last one for today:

I've had this LP in my wantlist for years. Everytime a copy popped up I missed. Two days ago a copy popped up from a German seller and I was fast enough. Finally

Cd's are mostly released simultanously so that's early April this year.

The Tolliver I’ve got mostly on the Mosaic set which is great. I also have quite a lot them Pure Pleasures and I like them a lot. Jordan’s Glass Bead Games truly sounds amazing. So not interested in replacing any of them. I hoped they’d pick titles PP left on the vaults…

Persian Classical music can’t get much more beautiful than this. Parissa has the voice of an angel and the ensemble provides excellent accompaniment.

Thanks for sharing that. He’s a great tenor player. The country and decade he grew up in might caused the fact he never really became well known. He definitely deserves wider recognition

The great Mal plays duets with the underrated Romanian saxophonist Nicolas Simion. Great recording!

Great. Any general conclusions? School holidays but as always my boys wake up around 6:00am… long mornings and lots of time to spin music.
