Beautiful, balladesque quartet album — moody, blue and restrained.

Inspired by the great poet Wislawa Symborska, who died last year. Ace NY quartet. Full of dread and life, tersely sophisticated, imbued with Miles. Monk and Andrew Hill in the pianism. Always recommended, TS.

Leading his New York Quintet.

Duets by trumpet, or French horn, and guitar.

Easy-squeeze, rocking steady loveliness from 1968.

Dark, funky and grooving, inventive and flowing but punchy and sharply focussed. Moebius’ electronics, Neumeier’s drumming, Plank’s engineering: from the early eighties but fresh as anything.
40th Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, limited edition, white vinyl.

Piano / cello duets.

Deadly digi sufferers, arranged by Noel Davy from King Tubbys. A one-off on Daniel Senior’s label, originally out in 1985, right on the cusp of the Sleng Teng revolution; finely reissued by Digikiller. A must.

Like volumes one and three, drawing on the legendary Amha Records catalogue, with several newcomers to this fantastic series, and a couple of very early Mulatus. You know what to do.
