Another real nice set from guitarist Luis Lopes and his ‘Humanization 4tet’.
Luís Lopes – electric guitar
Rodrigo Amado – tenor saxophone
Aaron Gonzalez – doublebass
Stefan Gonzalez – drums
Appreciate the commentary…
Might have to add this one to my listen and then buy list…

I have multiple copies. . . a recording I have been enjoying for nearly fifty years!

Didn’t expect to see my name in bold within the Mosaic Records Jazz Gazette today! Wasn’t even on my bingo card.

Ethan Iverson excerpted my interview, a sort of “illicit” full version here:
Just pulled the trigger adding Peter Brotzmann The Quartet to my collection. This 4 LP box set features Jason Adasciewicz, Steve Noble, and John Edwards performing at London’s Cafe Oto as part of Peter’s February 2023 residency.
Just ordered this recent Modern Harmonic double LP,
Sun Ra Uncharted Passaages . Solo piano from a July 1977 performance at jazz cafe Axis-in-Soho.
Excellent set of duets and excellent sound, too.
Alexander Hawkins: Piano
Tomeka Reid: Cello
Excellent indeed, and picked it up from Alexander while he was in Chicago. An easy recommendation.
One can never have too much Cecil Taylor, or Sun Ra for that matter.
A day for duets, again a great sounding set on Intakt Records.
Kara Draksler plays in a lot of settings but she really meshes well here with Susana Santos Silva. I think this is the second duet recording they have released.
Kaja Draksler: Piano
Susana Santos Silva: Trumpet
