colinmce Posted August 1 Author Report Share Posted August 1 I ordered mine direct from bandcamp from the US. It showed up in about 10 days with my normal mail, no problems at all. 1 hour ago, mjazzg said: I have 'Wood Blues' still unopened, waiting until I fully absorb the box set I will say though that I gave it a few listens on Spotify before I was able to buy it, and when I finally put my LP on last week I found the flipping to be very distracting. I've had a couple of their other LPs and didn't mind it, but it really took me out this time around. Would much prefer it on CD. Switching gears, I got a note about this in my email today. Digital only at the moment, but BG's notes refer to it as a CD, so I am hoping physical copies will be available soon: https://mayarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-jazzdor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainey helped, of course:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Д.Д. Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I saw / heard Sanchez just once, it was a Harris Eisenstad's band with Eskelin. Don't remember if it was a trio or there was somebody else as well. Sanchez seemed to be sulking and her playing was trite. Will check out this new one with Guy & Lopez, their other piano trio with Agusti Fernandez is fantastic.

mjazzg Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I've only listened to Sanchez recordings and I can't say that any have really stood out for me. Was there a duet with Wadada? If so, I liked that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah her playing is more “jazz” based that what I usually like but her demeanor & attitude has been great when I’ve seen her in any short interactions I’ve had with her. And she gets along great with her ex which says something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you see them in NYC where they can roll out of their beds to go to a gig. I see them after flights, train rides, crappy hotels, jet-lags and being forced to spend a lot of time with their bandmates, etc. This might account for a difference in attitude. Meanwhile, I listened to that Sanchez-Guy-Lopez album on Spotify, it's really nothing special, IMHO. If you want some new Barry Guy with a pianist, this one, released on on ECM last month, is better: Edited August 4 by Д.Д. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Д.Д. Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Unexpectedly, there is a new Happy Apple CD (recorded in 2020, as I understand)! Their last one was released 17(!) years ago. At first listen, this one is not as good as their previous ones - but good stuff nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Saw them a bunch when I lived in Minneapolis for a spell, thought they were good at the time but I'll admit it's been... about 20 years. Recall one gig where they were joined by François Corneloup -- this was the festival that Jean Rochard of Nato Records had -- and that was a very strong set indeed.
