                    As I really couldn’t settle on just one track from ‘Out Of Nowhere’, which really is a superb album, this is ‘Night In Loimaa’, with Tenor on keyboards and flute, Gary Miles bass, Mike Kearsy trombone, Caroline Boaden drums, Baluji Shrivastav sitar, vocals and percussion, Chris Dawkins guitar and Lodz Theatre orchestra even more to the fore.

                            I've been really enjoying listening to the adventurous modal jazz of Japanese saxophonist Kohsuke Mine recently. A load of his stuff is being reissued. This gives you a flavour. It's great.

                              Nice post, dd. Like you, I love the jazz that came out of Japan in the late 60's and early 70's - it really was a match for the American and European scenes. I have this album and a couple more of Mine's - 'Daguri' and 'Out Of Chaos' (rips only, not the original vinyl alas) and without checking think that I may have posted something from one of them on this thread last summer. Mine was also on the Yoshio Suzuki album that I featured a few days ago - he was some player that's for sure..

                                                    A couple of tracks this morning that ad hoc might find of interest. The 2020 album ‘Transylvanian Folk Songs’ by Romanian pianist Lucian Ban was inspired by the extensive archive of peasant folk music collected by composer Bela Bartok during the early 1900’s. This is ‘The Dowry Song’, with John Surman baritone saxophone and Mat Maneri violin.
