Nels Cline's new one, "Coward" and his brother Alex's "Continuation". Both on Cryptogramophone. Awesome stuff. I just love this label.

Also, based on recommendations in this thread, d/l Mal Waldron's "The Seagulls Of Kristiansund" and "The Quest" - excellent! Thanks for the tip!

I also got Ponytail's "Ice Cream Spiritual" - Sonic Youth meets Yoko Ono, maybe? interesting...saw them play in a laundromat on pitchfork.tv. oddly compelling.

Interesting album by Chico Freeman just added - Morning Prayer.

Review by Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Tenor saxophonist Chico Freeman's second recording as a leader (the first was an obscurity for Dharma in 1975) was originally cut for the Japanese Trio label before being made available domestically by India Navigation. An impressive effort, the adventurous music (five compositions by Freeman) features the leader on tenor, soprano, flute and pan-pipe, Henry Threadgill (switching between alto, baritone and flute), pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, bassist Cecil McBee (in the first of his many collaborations with Freeman), flutist Douglas Ewart, and the percussion of Steve McCall and Ben Montgomery. The performances are unpredictable yet logical inside/outside music. This set has not yet reappeared on CD.

Thanks for the heads up about this album. Just downloaded it and enjoying it as I type.

bumping this tread to recommend:

What a wonderful surprise, wasn't expecting a swinging/Brazilian/Marimba based record with great acoustic guitar playing on it.

I think everybody who reads this thread with an emusic account would love this. I can't stop listening to it.

Excellent! The track Guitar and Vibes came up on shuffle this morning on the way to work so I decided to just go with the whole record as I enjoy it so much.

With my recent free downloads for getting a friend to join I picked up more great Black Saint/ Soul Note releases:

Paul Bley - Memoirs w/ Charlie Haden and Paul Motian)

Kenny Wheeler - Butterfly Flutter By

and this wonderful gem:

Jack McDuff - The Honeydripper

I picked up the Berger too, WorldB3, on your rec. Very nice indeed.

That Kenny Wheeler is wonderful...doesn't get much attention as it lies outside the ECM sequence of those years. Nice to hear Stan Sulzmann who was rarely recorded at that time (though a frequent player on the UK scene). There's a marvellous tango on there!

There's a "new" Walt Dickerson as well - "Tell Us Only Beautiful Things" - that's pretty terrific and only two tracks to boot!

Got that one. It's interesting - just him and Wilbur Ware.

ACT seem to be putting most of their catalogue up (in the UK at least).

Mostly European jazz, mainly on the fjordy side of things (an exaggeration - it's pretty wide) but you've got some good David Binney, Nguyen Le, Richie Beirach.

I strongly recommend the two Joel Harrison Free Country albums (don't be put off by Norah Jones!) - some really imaginative, dark explorations of country tunes with David Binney and Uri Caine on board.

Nguyen Le's discs, especially the more Vietnamese centred ones with Huong Thanh are marvellous. They don't seem to have the wonderful 'Tales from Vietnam yet' but I suspect it is on its way.
