Alyn does baroque jazz on JRR and not the usual suspects [well not altogether] i am especially keen to hear Roland Kirk and also the John Kirby group plus the marvellous Dowland album that involved John Surman
Geoffrey does The Hawk a massive figure in the history of Jazz and prodigious drinker .. key track for me is not Body And Soul, though tis great, but The Man I Love for Oscar Pettiford and Hawk's soloing, as Benny Green [i think] once noted nobody was going to stop him on this one ....
Kevin has a mixed bag and features a gig by "by the Quentin Collins/Brandon Allen Quartet, recorded at the 2012 Scarborough Jazz Festival. The melodic playing of trumpeter Collins and saxophonist Allen are supported by the funky driving force of Italian drummer Enzo Zirilli and organist Ross Stanley."
Jon3 is devoted to the late twentieth century in jazz and improvised music ....
The ICP Orchestra
Pianist Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink have been instantly composing together for half a century in the Instant Composers Pool Orchestra, one of the world's longest-running improvisation projects. The ten-piece ensemble that they co-founded draws on the jaunty swing of Blue Note-era musicians such as Herbie Nichols and Thelonious Monk within avant-garde parameters: the pieces often have no pre-ordained structure, and the players can inject 'viruses', or themes known by the group, at any point in proceedings. The music veers from the arthouse to the circus, with a sense of surprise never far away.
serious listening there folks .... lend them yer lobes ....
