The first David Binney album I bought back in 2003 after seeing him play at the 55 Bar in NYC. Just revisited it and can confirm it’s still a fantastic and inventive album!

Never get bored of this album. So much depth to it. On Tidal I prefer the non-max version of the album, sounds fuller and more engaging.

Three new additions to my collection this week.
Chick Corea Trilogy 3. Some great playing on this foot tapping album. Nothing groundbreaking just good music.
My other two albums come from the current New York scene, and take a couple of listens to click.
Thereupon by Fieldwork . Quite challenging but this all star album with Steve Lehman, Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey, gets better on every listen. I cannot resist Lehman’s playing. For some reason one of my favourite artists.
Finally Unclassified Affections by the Dan Weiss Quartet. This drummer is new to me. Another Pi album that is very enjoyable and a bit less manic than the Lehman disc.

Two albums this week, both very different, both on the edges of Jazz.
Nils Petter Molvar, Khmer Live in Bergen, is well up to his usual standard, Lots of electronics, gut busting bass, and Molvar’s ethereal trumpet, make for an enjoyable listen.
Myra Melford, Splash, was recommended by my record shop. On the free side and not an easy listen. This will need a few more plays, to click completely.

Far from the edge.
They sound happy. Fine open recording. Mickey Roker is the modest vocalist.
Qobuz.

I caught Irreversible Entanglements in concert yesterday evening. What a concert. They played for an hour and a half non stop in an incredible sea of sound, sometimes stormy, sometimes calm. Several of the group are multi instrumentalists, and the microphones become part of the soundscape. Well worth catching for those who like experimental weird stuff.

Jazz does not get better than this. I must have played this 50 times and the way this quartet listen and react to each other is sublime. Genius.

The European Quartet original is perhaps my favourite group recording that Jarrett made. Heard Jan Gaberek perform when he came to Norwich. Wish I had made more effort to hear Keith Jarrett live.

Probably not Jazz to some but it comes from Jazz and Roy Hargrove’s playing who also wrote this tune is most definitely Jazz, also the very talented Neo Soul/Jazz artist D’Angelo passed recently so I also post this in his memory
The album Voodoo features Roy Hargrove playing on several records and also features bass player Pino Palladino father of Rocco Palladino who plays and has played with many of the leading musicians in todays British modern Jazz scene like Alfa Mist and Yussef Dayes
