It got passed over in a lot of year-end lists but I think it belongs right alongside Evolution or Aco Dei de Madrugada. late to the party, but it’s been seeping into my brain for a while, the 2007 Grachan Moncur III release Inner Cry Blues on Lunar Module.

I did. They said they had nothing to do with it, it's not their style whatsoever (they are a trio) and that they originally got it from a blog called Never Get Out Of The Boat. They said they thought it was genuine. You should have just asked them instead of spreading rumors. I did.

Still fun to play though. My free fusion choices for 07 can be found here: http://databurn.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=26 Thanks again to D:O for just BEING. Always a joy to listen and learn.

Thought you might be interested in this oddity. First saw it mentioned at Julian Cope's site and had a hell of a time finding it. Art Jackson's Atrocity "Gout." http://sharebee.com/8f112629 One of the great lost experimental jazz/rock albums. According to legend, Gout was bankrolled by Miles Davis in 1974, delivered to Columbia Records and pressed for promotion... then summarily abandoned by the label. Specializing in free form, live-in-the-studio, jazz/rock experimentation, The Atrocity was a chaotic, 8 to 11 piece collective fronted by the 20 year old junkie Art Jackson - whose guitar explorations were prone to both violent outbursts and spacey sonic excursions. A long lost curiosity ripped from a very rare vinyl promo. Here's the review for it at Julian Cope's site... http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/1824 Shaft In Afghanistan (7:39) Arabian Fabian (8:59) Available Bush (7:11) Tomato Reign (16:20) Gout (6:22) Great Page.

The CD "Constellations" has spun quite a few rounds in my discman since I read about it on the big 90's bonanza you had going here for a while. I have also started picking up Rage Against The Machine, to my own huge surprise. And in 2007 I saw Steely Dan live for the first time in my life.

Some new discveries The Mingus Sextet @ Cornell that was released this year was phenomenal. Matthew Shipp-both his own work and with David S. Ware. The man astounds me. i heard him this october with the Nu-bop quartet, one of the best shows I've seen. Joh Adams-Harmonielehre: A truly complex, beautiful, engaging piece that owes a lot to Steve Reich minimalism, but isn't confined by those boundaries. Wadada Leo Smith's Gloden Quartet- What can I say, that album just kills. I haven’t actually listened to muc new music this year. Some new discveries

Been listening to a lot of Henry Threadgill during the last year, especially "When Was That" and "Rag, Bush & All". As expected, the 90s lists also inspired me to check out some stuff I for whatever reason hadn't picked up before, some of which may even have found a place among my own top 10 had I known them before. Abrams' "Blu Blu Blu" is perhaps the most obvious contender. I also picked up 8 Bold Souls' "Sideshow" thanks to Dan Melnik. I've also enjoyed reissues by the Diagram Brothers, Pylon, and Thelonious Monk Trio, among others. Current (2007) faves can be found here: perfectsounds2007.blogspot.com.

And this led me to a full-fledged immersion in jazz and improv from the United Kingdom, again music that's been "out there" for ages but remained unheard by my ears. Previously Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott and Stan Tracey were just about the only Brits I was familiar with. Man, there are many, many world-class players: Graham Collier, Shake Keane, Harry Beckett, the recently departed Paul Rutherford, the amazing John Butcher, and on, and on...

I get the feeling this one slipped under the radar somewhat, and that's a shame.
