Wasn't sure where to post this but wanted others to know about it.  

Hello David, @david_ten , +1 on Marcin Wasilewski.  Have you heard his fairly recent live album on ECM? I’ve been recommending it often.  

@femoore12 , hey there +1 on both Hem and on Toundra IV.  
 

you seem to have taste in music that resonates with me.  Very cool.  
 

do you know the music of Plini?   

@spiritofradio 

Thanks!
I’ve never heard of Plini, but what I am hearing on the Impulse Voices album sounds fantastic. It’s always a great day when I get to hear new music for the first time. Thank you so much for the recommendation! 

@femoore12  👍   Try Handmade Cities.  Favorite of mine.  

@spiritofradio  James, I have 3 of Marcin Wasilewski's albums in my library. I'll give "Live" a listen later tonight. - David.

Trilok Gurtu  ---  The Glimpse  (International Jazz / Worldbeat)

👍 @david_ten The Live record is fantastic on vinyl. Made me so happy though when ECM allowed their catalogs onto the services. Either way it’s a record that sounds to me like where it’s at. If anyone is discussing where Jazz is lately or where it’s going I point to that record. Several times I’ve heard live contemporary jazz performers playing charts they say are originals but they sound like they’re either right off either a Marcin or Shai Maestro record.

David Torn --- The David Torn Collection (Guitar Jazz / Experimental Fusion)

"When in Rome" by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra 1987 release

@femoore12  I had completely forgotten about Penguin Cafe Orchestra even though it was a favorite from my younger days.  I'm looking forward to listening to them again.
