Listening to this lovely ambient jazz release by London based Nala Sinephro right now.
Think Nubya Garcia plays on this one too. Kinda reminds of the Floating Points album from earlier this year

There are 9 there I'm in on. So not for meI hadn’t seen this whole list yet. Honestly kind of underwhelming considering the availability of most of these with good pressings.
There could be a chance that Doug can get them for the Paladin N&G RC as well. I cross posted the list there.Yeah. I'm only after one of those AP Coltranes. Also curious if Plaidroom will still sell these for $27.99 after the price hike, or of they'll be $32.99 now.

Are there good pressings of those Impulse titles available? I'm after quite a few of those but am not really aware of any good pressings, just the (I assumed now pricey) AP versions.
Yeah I'm mainly referring to the AP pressings of a lot of those titles. I supposed many may have shot up in price so it is great that they will get in the hands of many more for an affordable price, but I will be sitting out most. I guess I can't complain too much as it will save me a significant amount of money lolAre there good pressings of those Impulse titles available?

Coltrane One Step seems to be back in stock!
Oh god, I’m going to just pretend I didn’t see this
I have a distill alert set on the Craft One Step page and was wondering why it kept pinging today. They must have only added a few copies.Oh god, I’m going to just pretend I didn’t see this
Nice! I’m definitely interested in that. There’s a direct lineage from jazz to ska and beyond in reggae. Listen to some of The Skatalites stuff and tell me it’s not influenced by jazz. Don Drummond and Tommy McCook were straight up jazz players before moving to ska.Afternoon everyone. Just stumbled across this and it looks really interesting.
Appleton Estate rum has selected 4 contemporary jazz musicians to curate a record which is shipped with a small bottle of rum, pre-made mixer, and a copper or ceramic cup. The first release has a copy of Jazzwise included as well. The idea is that the musician chooses a track from their discography and pairs it with a Jamaican track that inspired them. So far they have them from:
Moses Boyd (Axiom) (Black Uhuru -Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner)
CKTRL (Love Bomb) (I-Roy - Leggo Beast)
Theon Cross (40TUDE) (Dennis Brown - Money in my pocket)
Demae (Basic Love) (tbc)
I think if each release included more music I would probably be a lot more interested. I LOVE the concept of pairing a musicians music with their influences and Jamaica's influence on jazz has long been in the shadows, especially here in the UK (Dizzy Reece, Joe Harriott, etc), so its great to see the current scene paying their respects in this way.
