AALY Trio plus Ken Vandermark: Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe - I am FOREVER in love with this recording - the opener Unit Character has the most intense blow-out at about 4 tro minutes in after the two horns (alto and tenor) engage in a spirited duet - when KV comes out roaring with that INCREDIBLE bass-drum tandem going full bore
now THIS is the band that Mats needs to put together again for North America in 2013.
I wish Martin Davidson would release a terrific gig I caught years ago at the Vortex, with EP, Edwards, Veryan Weston, Paul Lytton, and Wheeler. The stuff he must have in his archives . . .
Mauger (Rudresh Mahanthappa / Mark Dresser / Gerry Hemingway) – The Beautiful Enabler
Agusti Fernandez & Barry Guy – Some Other Place
Daniel Levin Quartet – Organic Modernism
Anthony Davis - Episteme
Hadn't listened to this in years, have it on the headphones now, listening to Charnett Moffett's bass.
Judging from his website, Kenny isn't all that busy, I don't believe he's playing three months in Israel . I recommend this and this as an example in two parts of what he does. How many players have you seen who involve an audience the way Kenny does? (This is not a rhetorical question; I would really like to know who else works in this style who makes the audience part of the performance.)

Wow, forgot about those pieces. Haven't heard them since probably before my kids were born.
I used to think it'd be nice to do something like Olewnick did and listen to my stuff in alphabetical order--after Zemlinsky and Zorn, back to the beginning again. That way, you'd hear everything every so often. But I knew I never could have gotten through it once, even back when I listened to stuff regularly (and even though I'm sure my collection isn't as big as Brian's). Now, I mostly hear what I'm forced to hear on the radio in the car. The LPs rot away, along with the CDs and all the other stuff, waiting for the eventual estate sale.

I don't think Ollie ever made it thru either. I remember eagerly waiting for the P to see how he thinks Bird and Bud hold up.
hey i recently came upon a Butch Morris LP that I must have had for more than 30 years that still has the plastic seal. While I plan to have a Butch Morris listening session soon, maybe I should not open it to increase the estate sales value?
