Interesting. She has done several Bowie live albums and reissues the last few years.

Bit of an odd one but the Pizza Express Jazz Club here in London now has their own record label.
Really great idea imo, the live jazz there is always fantastic.
The first 2 albums are available for pre-order, the Scott Hamilton Quartet and Mamas Gun. Im not actually familiar with either of these BUT the Scott Hamilton group includes Dave Green, who is a legendary bassist that played on the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet's Lansdowne releases.

Are any of these worth a purchase?

This was posted on the discord, I haven't finished reading it yet but so far it's interesting from what little I read Cicely Balston of AIR Studios: Mastering Engineer of The Year (and there was specific discussion about her mastering of the shades of blue for vmp vs the blue note)

yea. i almost just dropped way too much money on that Alternative Fox bootleg!
I agree, big news. This is a very hard to find record, and somewhat of an outlier in the Pharoah discography as it is quite mellow. And great music.
BIG news.

I literally had the Alternative Fox one in my ebay cart last week and held off. PHEW.

I’m really interested in the backstory they plan to highlight. Seems like LB worked closely with Sanders and his estate. India Navigation was such an obscure label and an interesting idea, so hearing more about how this record came to be will be cool.

Yea I saw him with Haino in the shows in LA. It was amazing. I was thrilled when Black Editions released a deluxe box with his art. I was bummed when his gig in Ojai (a small mountain hippie town outside of LA) was canceled by the pandemic.

I think Marcus Moore wrote the liner notes. He's cool and I've enjoyed some of the stuff he has written in the past. Looking forward to that!

This video of a Hamid Drake solo improv is amazing. I think drunkenly sent it to a bunch of friends late one night when I discovered it.

Im cross posting this from Fresh Grabs as im sure a few of you will be interested:
Andy Hay – Children Of The Sun (Private Pressing, 2023 Limited First Pressing)
I had to take a photo of this one in isolation as its just so incredibly impressive. A while ago (maybe during lockdown) I saw a British jazz musician, Andy Hay, on Bandcamp that self-released a record with hand painted covers. I stupidly didnt give the music a listen and passed on it. The other day I saw Andy had posted another album on bandcamp and I was blown away by what I heard. I put the order in and a treasure trove of goodies turned up. In addition to the 2LP's it also includes a hand painted cover (each one is therefore different but fits the theme, an additional wall art painting, a booklet of 'liner notes' and comments from the group, and a personalised hand written message of thanks from Andy. THIS is a musician that clearly takes pride in his craft, WOW!!!

Sweet! And thanks to you/this post, I did a thing.....to the tune of two of his titles. They look like true works of art in many senses of the word. Thanks for the tip!
