Yeah, first listen suggests so.

I remember deciding it was too expensive when I held a physical copy in Honest Jons on release. When I got the notification of the download this morning it was an instant purchase.

The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Herbie Nichols - Mosaic

This music has haunted me, in a good way, since I borrowed it from the library about 20 years ago. Finally decided I needed to have it on tap.

Also, 

Collocutor - Continuation LP

Tamar Osborn and Idris Rahman - Conversations download

Both featuring Osborn whose playing, improvising and writing I'm increasingly intrigued by and enjoying

👍that's good to hear especially as the Klatt is a bit of a punt, it was cheap and the short sample sounded fun. The others I'm more confident about

Klatt is pretty much forgotten even home in Germany, I discovered him by accident a few years ago and have really liked everything I heard, I have four of his albums by now and some more sideman work, one of the very few people in German jazz of the 80s and 90s that interest me... there's a nice documentary about him but even native English speakers Marty Cook and Paul Grabowsky are forced to speak German in there (which they do extremely well)

 

edit/ps: around the 1:00 mark of the movie (not this youtube video), you can hear a frustrated Peter Wiessmueller (Enja/Tutu) present some of the Klatt records he was involved with including Elephantrombones but especially the last one, a digipack CD where Klatt insisted on a non-rectangular shape and on putting a different little artwork on every single copy...

Thanks for the link to Klatt documentary. Very strong player. I have one of his CDs, will get more.

A similar story of Johannes 'Jo' Barthelmes, an excellent German tenor/soprano player of the same generation (born in mid-'50s) who initially enjoyed widespread critical acclaim, recorded of couple of excellent albums and then completely dropped out of music for 20+ years. He unexpectedly reemerged a couple of years ago and plays well:

never even heard of him - I started following jazz only in the second half of the 1990s when his and Klatt's stars had almost faded ... and then left Germany before his comeback...

Kind of kicking myself that I went ahead and ordered a few things yesterday, thinking it was Bandcamp Friday.  D'ohh!  Oh well...

 

Rob Mazurek's Skull Sessions https://cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/skull-sessions

and A Night Walking Through Mirrors by Chicago / London Underground

which features Rob Mazurek and Alexander Hawkins (not sure he still is lurking on the site but he formerly was a regular...)

Too good albums. I was at the A Night Walking gig that makes up that recording, fabulous night's music. Enjoy

Finally bought the LP of Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Karyobin

Yes, finally jumped. Prices only seemed to be heading one way and I sold a heap of old non-Jazz LPs recently so had a decent fighting fund.

Oh dear. I may have accidentally fallen off the wagon. Please don't tell my family.
