BBB & BBB (Dan Lao & Li Daiguo) - Hu Nian An Yu [Old Heaven Books]

I wish I could find a reasonably priced source for Old Heaven Books releases in the US. 

now playing: Koralle - Fonografle

a producer from Bologna, with heavy jazz influences as does much of the releases from the German, Melting Pot Music.

Cafe Oto stocked them briefly. I only bought this which is excellent, wish I'd bought some others. Will have to make do with downloads

An eclectic mix of recordings mostly made at a Chinese venue Old Heaven Bookshop, as I understand

Thanks a bunch for that link. Especially excited to see the Banerjee recording.
Seeing him live many years ago was a real treat!

[rostasi]

OK, so I already have that Banerjee recording - just a different cover.
Shows how long it's been since I've listened to it, so here I go.
Still, the new cover on Old Heaven Books looks nice.

Excellent ....

[Rabshakeh]

Lester Bowie - Rope-A-Dope (Muse, 1976)

Stanley Turrentine - Never Let Me Go (Blue Note, 1963)

I really think that this is an underrated gem even within Turrentine's and Scott's catalogues. It has such a heavy hit of gospel and blues to it, but, over and above that, the timing is so stretched out. It's amazing.

Rab - I agree 100%.  I think it's one of their best records.

One of my first Berne purchases about when it was released I'd guess

It was a new one for me which I bought on Sunday on a whim at HJs West (record shopping's back!). I knew the other early Berne's but not that one. I am really happy with it.

Not managed to get out and shop yet but it won't be long

Has HJ West got a big used section now?  Always seemed to focus more on new vinyl recent years.  The Kings X branch certainly had a nice used selection pre-lockdown

Got confused. I meant the King's Cross one, which has had a slight restock of its used selection since December and is worth a visit I think.

West has got more interesting reissues and modern jazz at the moment than it used to have, but still pretty much all new.

Thanks, Kings Cross is nearer and I don't have to survive the H&City line to get there.  Scarred for life by commuting to Westbourne Grove

On the Blythe, I love the mix of tuba and cello. 

Those are two of my favourite Hills too.

All those records that Andrew Hill made for East Wind are terrific: Blue Black, Hommage, and Nefertiti.  

Inner City issued Nefertiti in the U.S., so it's probably the most well-known of the three -- but the other two have flown under the radar, relatively speaking.  I heard Hommage for the first time not that long ago, and it blew my mind!

Just plugged a "Hommage" sized hole in my collection, thanks for the prompt.  I completely agree about the other two.

How are you enjoying the Hermeto?
