I saw her a couple weeks ago and shes phenomenal. I follow her on instagram and when she was preparing for her US tour she filled her suitcases up with merch (vinyl) so hopefully you will be able to pick something up if you dont already have it!

And I listened, and I pre-ordered. Oh well, I almost knew that when I clicked on that link.

I got this one at Amoeba, when I was in the States last month. Seems to be widely and cheaply available and I wouldn't be surprised if VMP is using the same master.
It sounds phenomenal btw.
This tune is wicked. Like a UK jazzmatazz. Album out in mid september.

I got an email last night from the venue 'The Jazz Cafe' in Camden, London. Its one of my favorite venues and I was excited to see that Charles Tolliver And His All Stars will be performing 'Paper Man' in full. I started looking at the rest of the acts this year and its pretty phenomenal:
Sam Wilkes & Jason Mann's UK Debut - Sam Wilkes' 'WILKES' was released last year (I know a few of you picked it up) and is pretty decent.
Yazz Ahmed +Rosie Turton Quintet & Alina Bzhezhinska - Yazz Ahmed released 'La Saboteuse' a while back and Rosie Turton's 'Rosie's 5ive' is fantastic. Unfamiliar with Alina Bzhezhinska and she is opening with a harp solo.
Sun Ra Arkestra - Led by band leader Marshall Allen
Charles Tolliver & His All Stars - Buster Williams on Bass (Herbie Hancocks 70's band) and Lenny White on drums (Chick Corea's fusion group 'Return to Forever')
Joe McPhee & Ill Considered - This will be a great show. A legendary artist combined with a rising London group!
Cassie Kinoshi & SEED Ensemble - I saw Cassie Kinoshi & SEED Ensemble perform earlier in the year and it was up there as one of the best performances I have seen live in a long time!
Cykada - Their S/T release went down really well on this thread if I remember correctly.
Billy Cobham - Killer drummer that worked with Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Surely up there as one of the best fusion drummers?

No worries. Out of interest have you ever been to Cafe Oto in Dalston? Its an amazing little venue (I mean tiny!!) that specializes in free-jazz / experimental jazz, which I imagine would be right up your street?
I saw the Ghanaian funk musician Ata Kak perform there a while ago now and its a hilariously casual set up, just a one-step raised 'stage' area. Him and his band walked through the crowd to get on 'stage' then after just walked through and mingled with people. Fantastic stuff.

I haven’t. Unfortunately Dalston is a real pain in the arse to get to and from using public transport where I live. I saw that Joe McPhee did a week long residency there and would have loved to catch that. I like that they have a record shop too. I’ll make it there someday I’m sure.
OK Jazz heads, help me out here. I grew up hearing Big Band and New Orleans Jazz. My parents were married during WWII, so there was always Goodman, Miller, Louis Armstrong, etc around, but I didn't hear much 50's and 60s Jazz. I later discovered Gypsy Jazz and have listened to a lot of it, but I want to branch out. I picked up Coltrane's Blue Train and Brubeck's Time Out. Then got Bill Evans' Portrait In Jazz, (really like that jazz piano sound), so where should I go next?
Thanks. Any particular album you recommend I start with?If you like piano jazz then head for Thelonious Monk

Also Mingus' Black Saint and Sinner Lady and Blues and Roots are two excellent albums! Herbie Hancock's Headhunters is awesome too

Just got home from seeing The Randy Villars Band @Levitt Pavilion. For those that don’t know, Levitt have 7 locations in the U.S. and have 3 or 4 free concerts a week during the summer. It’s locally sponsored and the lineups are really eclectic, ranging from jazz,pop,bluegrass, funk, soul,classical, country etc. Designed to introduce peeps to new music.
I can’t remember all the cities, but LA has one, Sioux Falls and more.
Randy Villar is a Sax player from Cincinnati,been around a long time. Played all original composition s tonight, post bop with some fusion thrown in. Bass, lead guitar and a drummer. Great stuff! Look em up if they’re playing your city.

That's cool! I know about the one here in LA but had no idea it was a national thing.
