I also strongly recommend the Freddie H. and the Woody Shaw.

Now listening (via YT) to "Little Sunflower" from the Freddie set. Wow. Sounds really good. Another one for the list, I guess.  

Will probably get around to the Woody Shaw too, eventually.

The Band:  Pink; S/T; Stage Fright; Cahoots; Rock/Ages.  It's taken me a bit to get around to what's largely regarded as a marquee name in Classic Rock circles - perhaps b/c my initial exposure in college was to the sloppy, ego-driven indulgences of "Last Waltz".  Still, if Brown and The Pelvis are bedrock, then early Band has got to be upper strati Regolith.  Like sinking your hands into rich black earth - at least thru the 3rd year of Nixon's first Tour of Shame.

Wow I thought I was the only one who felt that way about The Last Waltz. And I'm talking about the film as well as the record. But Rock of Ages-- that's the real deal.

Hasn't arrived yet. FWIW, I'm a big Scott Robinson fan!!

[jcam_44]

I bought the Dave Douglas 50th B-Day for a great bargain on amazon to go with the Brazen Heart live set on Black Friday. 

 

[Steve Reynolds]

Ben LaMar Gay: Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun

Milford Graves Trio with Arthur Doyle: Babi

plus BIG Holiday order being prepared🤗🤗

 

[HutchFan]

Picked up these four LPs earlier today at a local shop:

Chico Hamilton Quintet - The Chico Hamilton Special (Columbia)
One of the earliest (the first?) Chico LPs with Charles Lloyd.

 

George Shearing Quintet - Shearing in Hi Fi (M-G-M)
with Cal Tjader, Toots Thielemans, and Al McKibbon.

 

Hampton Hawes Trio - The Seance (Contemporary)
I already own this music in digital format, but I couldn't resist the vinyl.  It's one of HH's best, IMHO.

 

David Liebman Quartet featuring Mike Nock - The Opal Heart (Enja)
Late-1970s Lieb with a pianist who isn't Richie Beirach.

Not reissued on CD for nearly 30 years (and  - at least to my knowldge - never in Japan !) ....

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Arrived fifteen minutes ago

Kade Diawara - L'archange du Manding - Syliphone SLP62

I noticed this in Graeme Counsel's Syliphone discography a few days ago. I've three more recent K7s than this LP (1977), and didn't know about it. Looked on Discogs and found one not prohibitively expensive.

A present to ME from myself.

2 Terumasa Hino CDs & an Atomic CD from Dusty Groove.

[Steve Reynolds]

 Year End Holiday orders via Not Two records:

Joelle Leandre: Woman’s Work - 8 CD set - mostly duos & trios from the last 5-10 years. I expect the typical great production and sound from Not Two records

the above ordered with these other recent or fairly recent releases on Not Two:

Hans Peter Hiby, Michael Bardon & Paul Hession: Roots / first listen to the saxophonist & bassist - excited to hear the beastly Hession on drums 

Mats Gustafsson Nu Ensemble - Hidros 6 - Knockin’ - large ensemble with the best of the best including Peter Evans, Joe McPhee, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Agusti Fernandez, Kjell Nordeson & Paal Nilssen-Love

Rafal Mazur, Percy Pursglove & Ramon Lopez: Threefold - Pursglove on trumpet is new to me but I’ve become a big fan of Mazur on acoustic bass guitar.

Peter Brotzmann with Takeo Moriyama & Masahiko Satoh: Yatagarasu

Marco Colonna, Agusti Fernandez & Zlatko Kaucic: Agrakal - Colanna on reeds is new to me

Harvey Sorgen, Joe Fonda & Marilyn Crispell: Dreamstruck - nice to the great pianist on this label - excited to hear how they capture her sound. Joe Fonda is one of the most underappreciated bassists in this music

The Diagonal which is a Quintet with Jeff Parker, Jeb Bishop, Pandelis Karayorgis. Curt McBride & Luther Gray - probably the recording among all of these that might be a bit more towards straightish jazz than normal for me. The inclusion of the great trombonist Bishop and the wonderful pianist Karayorgis convinced me to put it in my cart

Nu Band: The Cosmological Constant: Mark Whitecage, Thomas Heberer, Joe Fonda & Lou Grassi - I’ve seen them live and I’d love to see them again. Perfect blend of romping post bop/free bop and everything else I love about modern free jazz/improvisation and Heberer’s post-modernity is the perfect foil to more old school free jazzers like Whitecage & Grassi

Harvey Sorgen, Herb Robertson & Steve Rust: Rumble Seat - I’ll buy anything with Herb Robertson

Instruments of Change by Construction Party - quartet with Dave Rempis & Pandelis Karayorgis 

Joe McPhee: Isben’s Ghost - Quartet with Jeb Bishop, Haker-Flaten & Michael Zerang!!!

Rafal Mazur, Michal Dymny & Vasco Trilla: Tidal Heating - two more new names for me

Quite a list. FWIW Dreamstruck is really good. Karayorgis is always worth listening to, no matter the context.

[Steve Reynolds]

Now here is the next order:

from No Business:

Joelle Leandre Sudo Quartet with Carlos Zingaro, Sebi Tramontona & Paul Lovens

Intracacies: Paul Hubweber, Frank Paul Schubert, Alexander Von Schlippenbach & Clayton Thomas

Kidd Jordan, Peter Kowald & Alvin Fielder - Duo & Trio in New Orleans - 2 CD sets

Red Trio with Mattias Stahl: North and the Red Stream

Peter Kuhn with Toshinori Kondo, William Parker & Denis Charles - No Coming, No Going - Music from 1978-79 - 2 CD set

Mats Gustafsson - Vilnius Explosion 

then I filled my Brotzmann Tentet gap with both American Landscape CD’s from 2007 along with the 2 CD set from 2011 - Love, Walk, Sleep

[jcam_44]

Please look out for “Overground to The Vortex” as well as “Unknowable” both on Not Two Records. They both have Michel Lambert on drums but the former has John Edwards on bass and Steve Beresford on piano for the second half of the recording. The latter has Rafal Mazur on acoustic bass guitar to fill out the trio. 

As always the sound quality is premium and the performances especially on the date with Edwards & Beresford is exceptional.

I have Happening and it’s good but not on the level of the above recordings I’m recommending.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually only got The Happening because there was a copy on amazon for $1.72.

 

I did end up ordering Intuition and The Joy of Being as well.
