I'm a Blake fan. Kingdom Of Champa is essential. Glad to hear new music from him.

Me too.  Agreed on all counts.   

 

I'm now streaming this -- since I'm not in the basement, where my turntable is:

Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia - Wilde Tales (MCA UK, 1979)
with Colin Dudman (p, el p, synth), Dill Katz (el b), and  Jon Hiseman (d)

Terrific.

Akira Sakata – Mooko

This one has really blown me away on first listen.

It's streamable.

But it's great. The line up is Sakata, Laswell (not always a good thing, but subtle here) and Ronald Shannon Jackson. The record is a really interesting mix of those three ingredients.

I'm now listening to this:

Sam Gendel – Satin Doll

Obviously aimed at the Pitchfork crowd. Slobbery versions of standards that are then chopped up electronically. Nice to hear someone try something newish, but it's not that deep a listen. Gendel's a guy who on and off I do really like, but I think this one is a "what if..." gimmick and nothing more. 

Prior to that, my five year old caught the Big Jay McNeely bug, so I had spent the morning before school listening to that on YouTube.

Too late, I bought it for grand €5 at bandcamp already, and listening to it now. Sounds great! I love Laswell in jazz context.
