That Marc Cary disc is wonderful.

Yeah. He's fantastic.

McKay's is in Nashville now too. Awesome store.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up.

John Carter/Bobby Bradford Quartet: Self Determination Music

Lots of purchases of that (very fine) title from members of this site alone..

Picked up Tubby Hayes 'Without A Song' (Acrobat 3CD) yesterday. A revelatory - and essential - Tubby Hayes issue that will be a great accompaniment to Simon Spillet's biography, when it arrives in my mailbox.

Pino Minafra: Sudori (to replace my long lost CD - desert island recording

Superb record.

I think you recommended it to me back in Medieval Times.

Superb record.

I think you recommended it to me back in Medieval Times.

Likewise I think. I've neglected the Italian Jazz scene in recent years by the excellence of Roberto Ottaviano's "Forgotten Matches" with Alex Hawkins has me intrigued again. Lots of new names that don't mean much to me.

Yes, ten or so years back it seemed to have a higher profile in the UK - I recall seeing La Banda, Trovesi, Italian Instabile; and then a whole host at the last Appleby (the cost of bringing those across probably helped sink the festival). I enjoyed going through some of the Tiziano Tononi records a few weeks back. Real fire there.

Phenomenal one. The sound is "festival quality", which on paper does not favor Noble or Edwards, yet they adapt and make it work to their advantage.

Kamasi Washington - The Epic

Curious about your thoughts when you get a chance to hear it to see if they match mine

Shall do. Not released here for a few weeks.

To be honest I ordered it as I'm intrigued by someone releasing a 3CD debut (surely hubris awaits) and the prerelease tracks sound good in a "lets throw lots of 'spiritual' jazz influences in the pot and stir hard with a few contemporary sounds". Whilst I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking the Brainfeeder/Flying Lotus connection might bring a different perspective. That it's a Ninja Tune is also a canny positioning - taking it out of the obvious Jazz circles and it may do well over here as 'Jazz for non-Jazz fans'

What's his story?

I agree about the ambitious nature made it intriguing for me also. I lucked into an advance of it. I think your expectations are grounded and will serve you well. Your final point really hits it on the head in my opinion. I feel with the push to non-Jazz fans will provide some hype that Jazz fans would not share. I think the praise Flying Lotus gives it is an extension of that thought process.

“He just plays the craziest shit, man. I mean, everything — the past, present, the future,” Flying Lotus says, whose family lineage includes one of Washington’s direct musical forebears, John Coltrane. “It's hard to find unique voices in this music. Especially in jazz, more so lately, everybody is trying to do the same shit. I don't want to hear ‘My Favorite Things’ anymore… What I am hearing is a leader among artists.”

Yes, that push to non-Jazz fans will almost inevitably result in a backlash from the keepers of the Jazz flame.

Flying Lotus should listen a bit wider methinks

Still, looking forward to hearing a new voice
