How many here, on this site, follow the "current" free scene, I wonder? Lots of these posts revolve around the Classic artists and labels...but is anyone else digging the Far Edges of the scene--stuff like Jason Stein, Ingrid Laubrock, Ivo Perelman, Vasco Trilla, Michael Bisio, Rodrigo Amado, Joelle Leandre, Dave Rempis, William Parker, Matthew Shipp?? I've seen the names mentioned in passing, a few times, but there's a huge amount of music coming from the far edges on labels like Clean Feed, Intakt, Trost, AUM Fidelity, and of course Rogue Art?
"And this is the chorus.....or perhaps it's a bridge...."
I have quite a few Vandermark Five albums with Rempis. A few by Parker which are more on the conservative side, not really free blowing sessions. I have a recent CD by Perelman that is definitely a free blowing session. There is a Matthew Shipp CD that was re-issued recently with a different cover. I forget the title but I do want to pick up a copy.
Just looked them up. Matthew Shipp: Circular Temple, Ivo Perelman: Embracing The Unknown. Today I ordered Vijay Iyer: Compassion CD on ECM, so I'm looking forward to that.

Love the Clean Feed label. Listen to their albums as soon as they get posted on bandcamp and have a long list of ones I still need to buy. Trost is pretty great too, although they seem to dip into the LP only market a bit too much for my liking. Sotoko Fujii (Libra label) is another follow closely, although she sometimes gets into more of a completive mode then I like.
Other artists I always try to follow their releases: Jim Black, Peter Evans, Luis Lopes, Vasco Trilla, Tatsuya Nakatani, Christian Lillinger, Martín Escalante, and Chris Pitsiokos (at least the ones that immediately come to mind). The scene is very much alive and pretty great.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

Relative Pitch is another great label that likes to operate on the fringe.

Ah, I am amongst friends. LOL.

Some of those names are new to me, too. Vasco Trilla is primarily a drummer/percussionist.
Jim Black is a long time fave....love Alas No Axis's records, and he's drummer on several other artist's releases.
I have some Vandermark, he's like John Butcher in some ways, as far as involvement and name recognition goes....if not stylistically similar.
Iyer gets more mainstream recognition, but he's pretty experimental, too. Taborn is similar in that regard.
Parker is omnipresent. As a bass player, I am fascinated by his approach--he sort of embodies what "Bass" is about.

Excellent documentary about Paul Motian's last years in NYC
Any love here for the new Nubya Garcia?

Quit honestly I was a little bit disappointed by the debut. Its a good abum but it was hyped so much in the music press and by Shabaka Hutchins in particular that it was almost impossible to live up to this hype.
I think the second one finally does. It is a better album. Versatile and lush, great playing and overall better tunes.

Pretty excited to see this archival offering by Ray Russell Quartet on the Jazz in Britain label.

Uffe Steen - Danish lefthanded guitarist. Plays on a guitar stringed as a right handed.
This is pretty out there....
"And this is the chorus.....or perhaps it's a bridge...."
This looks like a good one. The Jazz in Britain blurb says: "The tracks on this album were recorded between 1967 and 1969 and include all the tracks on the five sessions Ray Russell’s Quartet recorded ‘live’ for Jazz Club in that period. Those sessions included compositions from Ray’s first two albums he made as leader for CBS – Turn Circle and Dragon Hill."
Both those CBS albums were great - but this JiB release also includes Dave Holland on some tracks and some rare recordings of Roy Fry, a highly talented pianist who died young.
