Susana Santos Silva is really nice, thanks for the recommendation!

Plastic Kneecap by David Birchall / Andrew Cheetham / Colin Webster / Otto Willberg
https://rawtonkrecords.bandcamp.com/...lastic-kneecap http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7xa_unnUb-...birchall_2.jpg Birchall is a free jazz guitarist from Manchester. I don’t know who his influences are but on this record his sound strikes me as being founded in the traditions of Sonny Sharrock and Joe Baiza. This a good record and worth listening to. |
Eave by Eave
https://eavemontreal.bandcamp.com Deeply boundary pushing improv jazz led by Canadian reedist Anna Webber. I honestly don’t know how Brooklyn based this band is since at least three (maybe all four) members of this quartet are Canadian but Webber has been part of the new free jazz scene going on there. Whatever scene, if any, this band identifies with, this is a fantastic release. Honestly, as new as this year still is, I’ve discovered more top shelf free jazz already than I expected to find all year. I realize if I constantly blow sunshine up the ass of everything I write about here people might be less inclined to explore my recommendations but this one is 5/5 Stars good. I cannot lie. I love this. There’s a great new tradition of free jazz going on and this at the forefront. I see this as music growing from the tradition of La Monte Young and Don Cherry. |
Spoiler for album art:
Leave No Trace: Live In St. Louis Tashi Dorji & Tyler Damon This may be too far into the experimental/avant garde side of things to be called jazz by some but I’m using a big tent approach for improvised music here. This is great. 5/5 Stars. http://www.tylerdamon.com/wp-content...specified.jpeg |

kaze atody man This a part French part Japanese free jazz quartet featuring Satoko Fujii on piano. Fujii received mention on Lamp Lighter a few months ago. Her piano here is mostly on the third stream contemporary classical side of Cecil Taylor. Fujii was once a student of Paul Bley but it’s not so much the piano where Bley’s influence comes to play. This quartet utilizes two trumpeters to excellent effect and that’s where I hear echoes of Bley’s work. Percussionist Peter Orins plays a smoking solo on Morning Glow which works its way into a very powerful and surprisingly traditionally melodic ending. These are great musicians and they’re all on their game. 5/5. |
Satoko Fujii is great.
Love her stuff with Tatsuya Yoshida (there are duo albums and he's also part of her quintet). You should check those out, if you haven't already. |
Quote:
Satoko Fujii I’ve barely scratched the surface, tbh. I’ll look for those duets and there’s lots of other stuff in there that looks scrumpdillyicious too |
Quote:
I have about 30 albums she plays on in my collection and it looks like that's not even half of what she recorded. |

YoshimiO, Susie Ibarra, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe– Flower Of Sulphur Released yesterday. I am so excited about this! Number 1 AOTY contender 5/5 unassailable all that. I’ve had the good fortune of seeing YoshimiO twice. Once in Tokyo with OOIOO and once in Florida with only about 15 people in attendance playing an improv with Kawabata Makoto. Both experiences were amazing but the latter is one of the most precious memories of my life. Susie Ibarra, a huge fan of Sun Ra, has an astonishing resume and is one of the greatest percussionists of all time. Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe aka Lichens https://whywelisten.files.wordpress....l23-lowe-a.jpg Good lord, can music get any cooler? There’s a damn good chance you heard it first. Snap |

The Unknowable
Album by Dave Liebman, Adam Rudolph, Tatsuya Nakatani I mean holy ****. Is the recent output of indescribably good music freaking anyone else out? https://www.rarenoiserecords.com/lie...dolph-nakatani http://www.nga.ch/img/Langnau%20Jazz...ebman10-01.jpg |

Sylvie Courvoisier Trio - D'agala Funky/swingy tunes that go to some really interesting places. Also apparently Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman got married yesterday, maybe they'll be doing some more collaborative stuff this year. |
Pretty sure they have been married for years.
|
I guess it must have been an anniversary party that I saw someone congratulating them on FB.

LIVE KFJC 2007 by Z'EV - Steve Mackay Duo
https://muteantsoundsnetlabel.bandca...live-kfjc-2007 A live radio broadcast released today from two great artists that are no longer with us. |
Pass If Music by Sam Gendel
This could just as easily go in the ambient drone thread but he has it tagged as free jazz in BandCamp and free is a mighty big word. Not that the genre hasn’t been defined. If anyone is familiar with Gendel please chime in. This is a brief live solo sax recording utilizing extremely processed laptop style tones. One time, ages ago, back when I was in high school, I went to see Lee Ritenour in concert. The theme of the concert was like hey I can run my guitar through a synthesizer and make it sound like all kinds of things that aren’t a guitar. And I thought, who ****ing cares. |
LB_106 by Maxime Petit & Daniel Carter
http://lurkerbias.bandcamp.com/ Daniel Carter on anarchism: https://web.archive.org/web/20060303...interview.html http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com...iel_carter.jpg I recommend this very highly. Basically it’s modal jazz with laid back brushes with atonality. |
Wart Biter
On my Bandcamp app this is appropriately tagged free jazz. On the non-mobile version it’s tagged noise/drone. Two great things that go great together but this, to my pretty ears, is very aggressive free jazz in the vein of the too infrequently praised Borbetomagus. https://hominidsounds.bandcamp.com/album/wart-biter https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images.../0SiNjGy8.jpeg Brilliant |
I’ve been dick riding all these Bandcamp finds. Well I found one that absolutely sucks
I’m not even going to link to their ****ty record If you wanna know what really bad jazz sounds like listen to this bull**** Richard Koch, stop playing music. You’re terrible. |

Rob Brown Juan P Carletti Duo by Rob Brown and Juan P Carletti
https://robbrown.bandcamp.com/album/...p-carletti-duo Rob Brown has a great resume having recorded albums with Mathew Shipp and the great William Parker. This duo with the Argentine drummer Juan Pablo Carletti is very Ornettely in an Anthony Braxton kind of way. Fabulous stuff. I highly recommend having a listen. |
Thresholds & Other Crossings by Rodgers / Michalchuk / Helstrom

Jean Derome rules. His stuff with Frith as well as his solo albums are instant loves.

Music for David Mossman (Live at Vortex London) by Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Paul Lytton https://intaktrec.bandcamp.com/album...-vortex-london Hopefully, some of you remember September Winds (One of Frown’s picks for the album club). At this point Evan Parker’s name commands so much respect if his name is on a record you must start with the assumption that it’s unassailable. This record does not fail to live up to expectations and will be on the short list for AOTY. This trio is considered a classic line up. Amazing work. Amazing longevity. |

https://poorlittlemusic.bandcamp.com...street-037-c40 If Bitches Brew were a bit creepier and played on a solo alto sax in the rain. Note to self: Likely AOTY |
Grindy,
I’m almost positive you’ll love this one: His Flight's At Ten by Lotte Anker · Pat Thomas · Ingebrigt Håker Flaten · Ståle Liavik Solberg https://ilusorecords.bandcamp.com/al...flights-at-ten |
Haven't heard it yet, but with that lineup it's pretty much guaranteed. Thanks for the heads up.

nubya garcia when we are https://nubyagarcia.bandcamp.com/album/when-we-are I guess I’d classify this has hard bop. Nubya Garcia - Tenor Saxophone Joe Armon-Jones - Piano/Wurlitzer Daniel Casimir - Double Bass Femi Koleoso - Drums Not edgy at all but still well done. The musicians know how to go off while not startling you. Not that I want it everyday but it’s a sometimes snack. |
