Looks like John is playing the electric mandolin that he played on many records like Gateway 2. By the way there's a new bio-type DVD out on Abercrombie.

Sad to hear of the death of pianist Randy Weston, at age 92.R.I.P. and thanks for the music.

Thanks for the obit link, Walt. Weston's African Cookbook is a long time favorite.
Have to check it out. I loved Cuong Vu Trio meets Pat Metheny. Stomu Takeishi is an amazing bass player. Just saw that Bill Frisell plays in his Quartett, really curious now...just listening to the tracks on the site great music , the ease with which they move between ternary and binary , acoustic and electric, soft and loud ...

Love Cuong Vu. I enjoyed It's Mostly Residual with Frisell more than his side with Metheny, so this is an auto buy for me. Stomu will be missed, but I'm sure that Luke Bergman will bring something great to the table. And Ted Poor is a total badass.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
Interesting "jazz discussion" recorded at Hamilton College near Utica, NY. Abercrombie discusses his entire musical career from his pre-college days forward...
Archival live Mingus from 1973.Available for pre-order at Bandcamp.As far as i know, this is a legit label and release.

An interesting piece about what's going on in jazz and the genre's future. At the end of the article there's a list of recommended albums.

Cone, any particular recommendations off that list?

Actually I don't have the book, nor the list, except for the ones the author has posted thus far. Guillermo Klein's work is amazing, I am a big fan. Geri Allen's Life of a Song is a great disc. I'm a huge fan of Mulgrew Miller's, listening to the Live at Yoshi's disc now, as I type....this is straight up jazz in the classic tradition, with genuine heart and soul. I assume everyone's heard Metheny's The Way Up around here.

That's as safe as an assumption as you can get in this placeI assume everyone's heard Metheny's The Way Up around here.
Here's the list - each entry is pretty long and there's camples so I'll be working through it slowly

I think Prog fans might dig Klein's stuff--the Los Gauchos albums in particular are great.
If you're already a confirmed Jazzaholic, you've got the Holland and Jarrett stuff. I don't have that Jane Ira Bloom album but I have a couple of hers, they're unique. Fred Hersch is phenomenal, I don't have that one but I have Sunday Night at the Vanguard.
Looking forward to this book.

You can access the list from the book's website. https://www.playingchangesbook.com/

I will of course anayse this a bit more in depth (I don't think the 129 albums mentionned in the book are featured there), but a first perusing glance showed me that it may not be going in my direction (at least the one I seem to be heading in in the last five or six years).
Another thing is that a lot of what's featured in those YT samples will not be accessible to western-continental Europeans.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Whilst this is a reasonably interesting article, I would say that it is compromised by being wholly focused on jazz in the US. Without wishing to undermine the significance of contemporary US jazz, I do think that many of the most important developments in jazz over the last couple of decades have emanated from Europe, & Scandinavia in particular.
