Great recording. Pursglove is a bit of a hidden treasure even here in UK let alone in the wider world. Plays very well with Dunmall now and again. I'd love that Leandre set but price is too much for me at the moment and this " McPhee is playing in a manner that separates him from his peers. He takes lack of cliche to an extreme but doesn’t play with some of the extreme extended techniques that we hear from some of the younger player" is the best summation of recent McPhee I've read. he has a four day residency at Oto next year, I hope to make at least one night On 16/10/2018 at 4:14 PM, Steve Reynolds said: How about this one - never heard of this saxophonist - Liudus Mockunus Check out his duo recording with Barry Guy https://www.discogs.com/Liudas-Mock%C5%ABnas-Barry-Guy-Lava/master/1154199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check out everything else, as well. Much appreciated, brother. Did you check out The Selva yet? On the list but Clean Feed recordings take a back seat to most other modern labels to me. Sound quality and production values leave a bit to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Another fairly recent amazing release on Relative Pitch Records: Last Dream of the Morning John Butcher on tenor & soprano saxophones John Edwards on double bass Mark Sanders on drums recorded November 17th, 2016 @ The Fish Factory, Willesden, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Listened to Tales Out Of Time by Brotzmann/McPhee/Kessler/Zerang this morning. A really sublime effort, and mostly conservative throughout. Oddly enough, Brotz sounded more like David S. Ware on this outing. Good stuff.

Steve Reynolds Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Another great one: ”Before the Silence” Albert Cirera: tenor & soprano sax Hernani Faustino: bass Gabriel Ferrandini: drums Agusti Fernandez: piano on No Business Records recorded live on May 9th, 2015 at Jazz Cava de Vic during the Voll Damm Festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has two thirds of the Red Trio playing with him and Fernandez then he must be worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Live in Divadlo 29 - Liudas Mockunas/Rafal Mazur/Raymond Strid Brilliant, brilliant stuff! A hybrid of Free Jazz, and Free Improv. Between melody, and total freedom. This may be the first time I’ve ever heard a group make those two somewhat disparate worlds work perfectly together.

I was stunned at what happens after the 20 minute mark. The whole thing is wonderous but the stuff with the electronics/synth and the two great saxophonists - just wow music to these ears. Like nothing I’ve ever heard before. I’m so excited about some of these new releases I’ve ordered another 9 or 10 CD’s for a present to myself. I’ve already ordered about 8 newer recordings from the Not Two catalog that I was missing so this time I mined the No Business catalog so I’ve got some interesting looking newish music coming plus the 2 CD set from Peter Kuhn from the late 70’s that I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’ve never heard him but I figured it’s got a very enticing combination of William Parker & Denis Charles plus early Kondo so I finally pulled the proverbial trigger!! Plus I ordered the 2 CD set duo & trio of Kidd Jordan with Peter Kowald & Alvin Fielder - another one I’ve been ruminating on for a couple of years.

Scott Dolan Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Been on a The Necks bender. Ever since Cappz turned me onto them, they’ve become my go to experimental group. Kind of like a sonic comfort food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) After listening through 5 or 6 of the 8 CD’s within the Joelle Leandre “A Woman’s Work” Box I give this release my highest recommendation on many levels. First level is that Lady Joelle might be the strongest bassist with a bow I’ve ever heard. then her occasional ‘singing’ then her choice of dance/playing partners and then disc 8 which is the full quartet with Evan Parker, Agusti Fernandez & Zlatko Kaucic. on Not Two Records Edited March 16, 2019 by Steve Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Sweet new duo/trio CD coming out on LISTEN! Foundation Apr 25, Ben Stapp + Joe Morris + Stephen Haynes. I wrote the text/notes but it is wonderful no matter what. Tuba, euphonium, guitar, cornet improvisations, quite heavy. https://sluchaj.org/sklep/ I think DMG has copies now.
