A long night of listening as the kids went to bed amazingly early tonight :)

Andrew Hill "compulsion" (Blue Note, NY USA stereo)

Sonny Rollins "Newks Time" (Blue Note, King Japan stereo)

Cannonball Adderley "Somethin Else" (Blue Note, 47 w 63rd mono DG w/ear, 9M)

Peter Brotzmann "Nipples" (Calig, Germany black label 1st issue) On currently as I typed this and inspired by Clifford to pull it out from the shelves...indeed one of Peter's finest. Maybe I'll pull out the "More Nipples" CD on Atavastic after this!

Brotzmann/Noble/Edwards/Adasiewicsz - Mental Shake [Oto Roku]

I really wanted to like this one more than I do. Oh well.

Pulled Nipples off eBay years ago in nice shape, black label with a beautiful concertina, for $100. Not "cheap" but entirely fair, so it can be done.

I know what you mean about Mental Shake. I'm not entirely convinced. I prefer the Brotzmann/Adasiewicsz duets although the trio with Noble was awesome a couple of weeks back

the Nipples hunt starts here.....

I've really not spun this enough to form an opinion. All Brotzmann is so noisy, so this only gets played when the stars are perfectly aligned., i.e. When I feel in the mood and the house is empty.

Ok , listened to this at low volume , so as not to offend everyone else on a Sunday evening. It's the proximity of the tarogota to a dentist's drill or snake charmer that makes it a hard listen, no wonder it's not had much play in this house.

Now spinning

Mumps-----------A matter of taste---------(MPS)

This is a bit different from your average Mangelsdorff disc. ECM like soundscape with washes of synth and Surman's warbling soprano. Pretty underwhelmed first time I heard it but it's grown on me. Interesting.

I love that Mumps LP...I think I got my copy in the mid-90s and have played it many times. It's essentially a "Trio" album plus Albert Mangelsdorff!

Tonight's spins:

Art Blakey "the freedom rider" (blue note, NY USA)

Dave Liebman "lookout farm" (ECM, Germany)

Alvin Curran "songs and views from the magnetic garden" (ananda, Italy)

Indeed, it's good!

I'm pretty sure I have a rip of an earlier gig by The Trio + Mangelsdorff, less ECM-y in approach. I'll dig around.

Playing my Mumps now.

I'm finding it a bit dull and realisiing why it doesn't get many outings here. It's as if Surman, Mangelsdorff and to a lesser extent Phillips are getting in each other's way. Everything's loaded in the mid-range. Themes/tunes aren't terribly memorable either.

Apart from that i'm loving it :)

I was slightly underwhelmed on first listen as well and filed it away. Pulling it out again today, I like it more. I'll spin it a few more times.
