Sad news . I always valued his opinions

Grudging respect to Spurs from me. ...

Football. Lovely football.

Marvellous Liverpool

An incredible game. Alexander-Arnold's corner was cheeky genius. The atmosphere sounded deafening . Cliched it may be but the crowd really were the 12th man last night.

I saw an excellent Frith\Anker duet set at Oto a couple of years back.

Those trio albums on Intakt are great

I'm totally new to FF. His discography seems to be pretty vast. Which Intakt releases were you referring to, and would these be a reasonable place to start?

thanks...

 

[Goooooooooooooooooooooooooool]

I could weep watching Arsenal these past few weeks. Gripless defence and just not enough attacking intent to make up for goals shipped at the other end. 

Unai is the right manager but we need a boat load of better players. On current form we don’t deserve CL football next season. Don’t get me wrong it’d be outstanding to win the Europa League but we’d only get humiliated next season by the big boys.

 

rant over......

Ingrid Laubrock———Two works for orchestra with soloists——(Intakt)

this has sat unopened for several weeks as I’ve been listening to a bunch of Kirk Knuffke discs in rotation. This however was well worth the wait. It’s a pretty outstanding piece of playing and orchestration. I find Intakt to produce discs consistently high standard . 

[What vinyl are you spinning right now??]

Manfred Schoof———-Distant Thunder———(ENJA)

 

incendiary playing with Japanese noise merchants including Akira Sakata on the alto sax.

all the way from King Of Prussia, thanks John!

This excellent Vick.

Derek Bailey——- Cyro——-( Honest Jon)

 

pretty stunning record and a very nice reissue. Time and Aida also arrived today and await full audition....

[So, What Are You Listening To NOW?]

Mal Waldron———-Sweet love, bitter——-(Impulse Jpn) 

film soundtrack from 1966. George Coleman seems to get most solo space but Dave Burns can also be heard. 

[What vinyl are you spinning right now??]

Steve Reid———-Nova ———-(Mustevic /Soul Jazz Records)

1976 date reissued in 2019. Roughly hewn loft era jazz. Quite impressed by this obscurity 

[So, What Are You Listening To NOW?]

Hal Russell ——-NRG Ensemble———(Nessa)

prompted to look this out. Vital music, sounding utterly contemporary in the best sense. I recall being hesitant to check Russell out , fearing his music to be in some way forbidding. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s immediately engaging stuff which I’d highly recommend.

Sonny Stitt/Bunky Green - Soul in the Night (Cadet). Yeah, Stitt is a burner, but to my ears, Bunky's playing is so much more interesting and imaginative.

This is a wonderful album 

[Horace Tapscott Live at IUCC]

amazon.co.uk have a release date of 22/3. I've been on a bit of Tapscott binge lately having listened in sequence to Vols 8-11 of his solo material on Nimbus. 

[Ran Blake and Jeanne Lee, The Newest Sound You Never Heard 1966-67]

Any sources this side of the pond?

David Wertman————Kara Suite——-(Mustevic Sound) 

 

pulled this one randomly off the shelves for the first time in a while. Plenty of energy in this free jazz blow out. Charles Tyler and Ken Simon battle it out on the saxes. Drum, bass and a french horn make up the group. Recording is pretty dark to muddy but the music is clear enough.

Rendell/ Carr——-Dusk Fire——-(Jazzman)

Strange but true this music is entirely new to me. It’s been on the list for years but I’d not pulled the trigger until now. All five Jazzman reissues landed today ( sans box) . Very impressed by the music and the presentation. Lovely quiet vinyl.

Kaja Draksler

I’ve just come across Draksler on a trio disc on Intakt. The sound the group achieve on PUNKT.VRT.PLASTIK is pretty astounding. It’s been on repeat without leaving my CD player for nearly 3 weeks.

Need to prise it out , to play the new solo disc by label mate Hawkins ....

[New Hank Mobley Blue Note Set]

I’ve preordered because 

i want to support Mosaic

i don’t have Thinking of Home and the unreleased tracks 

 

[Ed Bickert, RIP]

Sad news. I’ll need to look through discogs to remind me of sessions known to me , that he played on.

Sun Ra——-Monorails & Satellites Vol 1-3———-(Cosmic Myth)

first impression of today’s arrival is off a nicely put together package. Sound is generally cleaner compared to the rather dull sound of the Evidence CD I have of Vol 1. There is some distortion evident on louder parts of Alter Destiny ( end of side 1) which I don’t hear on the Evidence CD. This may be because NoNoise buried that detail and others on the CD! Pressing quality as with other Cosmic Myth releases is very good- generally very quiet and excellent dynamics.
