Late Junction Sessions - Diabel Cissokho, Kadiale Kouyate and Finn Peters (download - UK only available until the towards the end of December).
For this month's Collaboration Session we feature a trio who came together for the London Jazz Festival earlier this month, Diabel Cissokho and Kadiale Kouyate on koras, and Finn Peters on sax and flute.
@kargatron, yes, that names the dilemma nicely. If only I know what I was doing :-). Actually, given our modest audience I think a third rationale beyond the two you mention is feedback/encouragement; I know from correspondence last year that a couple of my more obscure picks were delighted to be noticed on a list. In the bigger scheme of things that might be the biggest benefit of my lists. @amc2, ha, taking your comment and karg's together leaves me with my original dilemma :-). I think I'll just see how strongly I feel about other items that need to be included at the bottom of the top 20.
Through concentration on listening or concentration on what we are listening to we can enter a state of simplicity of mind which is a state of the highest inner clarity or inner silence. In other words: when concentrating on the flow of music we can reach an inner state: The inner silence which is the simultaneity of stasis and flow. This paradoxical situation poses the question: Is the flow of music passing us, is music flowing through us thus evoking this inner stasis or is it not a state at all what we experience: should we not most seriously take into consideration the possibility that it is us who are flowing through the sound?
@jonahpwll, yes, that's very well put, the "tight, subtle electricity" is exactly what I am missing, except maybe on Message in a Bottle.
There should be a long compound German word for that feeling when a favorite artist brings out a long awaited record and you really want to be captivated by it but are not quite. Something like Mögendrangenttäuschung.
BTW, have you heard this? I seem to remember you like Nils Frahm - if you like Screws I think you'd really like it.
Their last recording because they're retiring the ensemble.
The album title translates as "We Pass On". Music from the
15th Century that's somewhat based on the Christmas story.

...And I am seeing these guys, opening for Kenny Barron/Dave Holland. Link goes to free EP on Noistrade
Hope you enjoy seeing Omar.
I have a t-shirt with his image
that gets the occasional slant-eye
from the city folk here.
@ Doofy: yeah, I kinda wish it was that whole album with pan pipes.
An opportunity lost.

So far this morning:
Frond, Janek Schaefer, Arun Ghosh, Arc, Kryshe.
Eta: (that's Run The Jewels 2, for everyone but Craig) and wow, this is pretty amazing. I just can't believe how much good stuff is free lately.
I think you should just write what your ears tell you
and damn the torpedoes (and who would be manning
these torpedoes anyway?)

I like the new Wasilewski just fine, but it definitely lacks the tight, subtle electricity of January & Faithful.
