JSngry Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks, just pre-ordered. Also see a Georgia ann Muldrow remix of "Clear and Distinct". Got that one too, DL only, but just one track, works for me. Quote

Guy Berger Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Pre ordered as well. Henry’s run on Pi is starting to creep up high on the list for “best run by a jazz artist on a single label”. I like that the albums have tended to be on the shorter side. Edited August 22, 2021 by Guy Berger Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 In my Bandcamp cart (along with another 8-9 CD’s) - I love the most recent releases / and I enjoy the concise times of the pieces and the recordings yet there is plenty of improvisation. Quote
mjazzg Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 Waiting for UK distribution, usually happens with Pi Quote

Expand Just got this in the mail. Great music. Doesn’t yet stand out to me relative to the other Zooid albums but that’s a very high bar. The album’s notes includes a brief dedication from Henry: Dedicating this music At this time In this moment To, in their greatness I will not Shall not Forget: Ahmad Jamal, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Charles Lloyd, Archie Shepp - - - - Artist Time…. 19, 20, 21…. “…The butcher has told the meat how to behave while being slaughtered.” (Emilio Cruz) Edited September 19, 2021 by Guy Berger Quote

BFrank Posted September 20, 2021 Report Posted September 20, 2021 Got mine today, too. Haven't listened yet. Quote
JSngry Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Starting my morning with Poof...it's amazing how easy it is to listen to this music...it's not at all "easy" music, but is incredible easy to listen to and follow the stories. Truly this is mastery in every regard. And at under 40 minutes playing time, even more so. There is a time for every time. Quote

Eric B Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 Just smoked some weed and put on "Air Time"...one of life's rich pleasures. I really only know Mr. Threadgill's Air and Sextett output (although I did get to see Zooid live a couple years ago). Need to dig into the rest of his body of work. Just ordered POOF. That dedication is moving -- I hope Maestros Jamal, Rollins, Shorter, Lloyd, and Shepp have all received it. Quote
