This Surman starts out pretty free, but gets fairly progressive around the 30 minute mark.
Nice Mickey Roker article in the Amsterdam News - I remember seeing him with Milt Jackson Quartet at the Blue Note. Really great player.

Sending best wishes and hopes for quick recovery to pianist Geri Allen,who is reported "gravely ill".That's the only information available at this time.

Damn.Just read that Geri Allen died,of cancer,age 60.A wonderful player, lyrical, soulful,comfortable in gutbucket blues to the most avant pastures.Saw her a few times over the years.Always a pleasure.
RIP.

Hot damn.Real Gone is re-issuing Ornette Coleman-Ornette At 12 and Crisis.My first instinct when i read this news was to wonder if this label is legit.A couple of folks of my acquaintance who seem to know about these things say it is legit.Hopefully,they're right.We shall see.I and many others have been patiently waiting and hoping for these seminal Ornette albums to see the light of day.It will be released in early September.Two lp's on one cd.No bonus tracks.I'm in(if it truly is on the level.)

Shabaka Hutchins' previous project called Sons of Kemet featuring him on bass winds, plus a tuba... Rather enjoyable...
Both albums (dating from 12 to 14, I believe) are really good too.
Weird videos... not sure they come from the band itself.

The Dinosaur album is superb. Inspired by this, I've been listening to Laura Jurd's debut album, Landing Ground. It was recorded with the Ligetti String Quartet, & is a remarkable confluence of contemporary jazz, celtic folk, & classical. Jurd's playing is outstanding. If anything, the album reminds me slightly of Miles' Sketches of Spain, partly because of the arrangements, partly because of Jurd's playing. It also evokes, at times, Colin Steele's brilliant Stramash, in being a trumpet-led jazz/strings ensemble, infused by celtic folk rhythms & melodies.
Goooooood stuff!!! I'll buy that Dinosaur thingie
Hey, just a return of favour for the Jurd/Dinosaur recommendation
Don't miss out on the Sons of Kemet and Ancestors recs, Shabaka Hutchings is the star of the moment: everone wabnts to play with him... even Kamasi Washington invited himself on-stage at the Ghent Jazz Festival during The Ancestors's set.

How do you get on with Seb Rochford's earlier bands, Trane? - Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland, etc?
The debut albums by both bands are the best places to start.
Seb is the more hirsute of the two drummers in Sons of Kemet. The rolling, pulsive, sound they have is, I think, very much a mark of his influence.
Polar Bear are more experimental. Acoustic Ladyland are more skronk-y. Pete Wareham plays sax for both outfits.
