Any recommendations?

[clifford_thornton]

Heikki Sarmanto (pretty much anything), Ted Daniel "Tapestry," Louie Belogenis/Mike Bisio/Sunny Murray (I wrote the notes), Po Band, Warren Smith, Juma. The reissued jazz titles tend to be somewhat stronger than the new releases but for like $5 or whatever, no complaints. I don't know much of the electronic/experimental stuff he's put out though the acoustic/electro-acoustic discs from Katherine Young and Andrew Raffo Dewar are excellent.

[colinmce]

Shit, lousy time to be broke. Any idea how long this will go?

Next by Bynum/Morris/Schoenbeck is very strong.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, I like the Bynum/Morris/Schoenbeck too. Also the Wooley/Lonberg-Holm/Roebke.

I don't know how long the sale will go on but since the dude & his family are moving house it might be more than two weeks. Just sayin'.

FAB Trio - Live in Amsterdam

[Stefan Wood]

FAB Trio, Old Dog, Nu Band, the Ted Daniel, Byard Lancasters, the Juma Sultan cd, Henry Grimes & Rashid Ali, Joe Chambers, Arnold Cheatham. David Hurley's Outer Nebula is a surprise, recommended as well, as Eero Kovistoinen's 3rd version. Lots of good stuff here.

[clifford_thornton]

Oh right, the Arni Cheatham - forgot about that one. Great stuff.

If you can't afford or don't want to commit to the Eremite box (w/ diff. material), the Porter Juma set is a fine intro.

Matt Bauder is a good one. Porter has generous sounds samples for their releases.

[alankin]

Some of the samples on the Odean Pope CDs sound interesting.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, I like the trio disc.

Got my package, ordered last Friday - amazingly fast!

These all look very nice. Will take me a while to squeeze them in between my classical listening schedule, but I'm looking forward a lot (and thank you guys for the recommendations, I'd have skipped the Belogenis for sure, if I hadn't seen it mentioned here).

Also, Luke was kind enough to add both freebies to my order, which amounted to quite a bit less than 100$, even including shipping. Now that's great service!

Dunmall-Grimes-Cyrille

GREAT!

[king ubu]

too late

But I'm almost through with the Ted Daniel - and that one's mighty fine! Rather trippy, with thick rhodes (including wah-wah and echo-plex), beat isn't as important here as it was with Miles, the music sounds somewhat more open, but also, if that makes sense, somewhat more "flat"? I'm enjoying it immensely, for sure!

[clifford_thornton]

Whaddya mean too late? I'm sure it is still going on!

The Ted Daniel is a killer album. I have it on LP and am glad Porter ensured its easier availability by putting it out on CD.

[king ubu]

just that my fairly big order is aleady here ... will see if I put in another one, but that wasn't actually the plan

[clifford_thornton]

Ah I didn't scroll up, now I see. Luke is a great dude.

[alankin]

Yeah, quick shipment & he threw in a couple extra CDs.

[clifford_thornton]

Maybe they're not for everybody (i.e., non-jazz, non-soul/funk) but I find it disheartening that the Natural Food and Birigwa CDs were almost unmovable - I have the original Seeds LPs and really enjoy them. The Birigwa is beautiful, in particular.

[colinmce]

I had my eye on those. I'd so like to place an order, but I know now's not the time ...

FWIW, I also love the Jeweled Antler material. I listened to a lot of that at the time, and it was always my favorite stuff to come out of the early 2000's "freak folk" thing.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, some of that is pretty cool indeed.
