I picked up "Playing Changes," and I recommend it to anyone interested in jazz over the last three decades or so. It does much to put the whole "Classic Jazz Vs. Downtown" perceived dichotomy into a healthy perspective.
More later, when I finish it....

Sounds great! CD is 10 dollars at bandcamp. https://scubidu.bandcamp.com/album/natureza-universal Er, 25 dollars shp to the states. I'll try Amazon.Originally Posted by TCC
Finished "Playing Changes." He deals with the European, and more deeply with Chinese, scene in the penultimate chapter. He also comments on Nicholson's book, with some interesting observations.
All in all, a thoughtful and interesting look at the current jazz scene.

“With an unclassifiable sound alike the grandchild of the Canterbury scene, melancholic trip hop and krautrock, quirky Bristolian quartet GTB's latest album 'Lope and Antilope' marks a more mature, exploratory sound that is so much more what the media have branded ‘punk jazz'.”

Pura Vida!.

Duke Ellington.
Thanks for the H.U.
absolutely marvelous to these ears
Lookslike a Gonwana label (based vin Manchester) invasion of London
BTW, the Flemish band Stuff is really completely out there , but that's not meant in a good way... they can be excellent on some projects, but totally repellant on others... They fucked up (IMHO) Marc Moulin's 10 years tribute in the second half of the show last w-e.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

Le Triton live 2 hours, 18 hours ago

C'est bel et bien le trio légendaire de Christian Vander, avec Emmanuel Borghi et Philippe Dardelle, qui se recompose et qui est de retour en live au Triton.
So apparently Vander and Borghi are okay again...
