I picked up an album by the sax player Zbigniew Namyslowski. It's a great dynamic recording made in '73 that sounds new.

Can someone please post a good Elephant9 cut? This is the band with Reine Fiske, right?

cool i'm in for learning listening and jamming. old stuff fo sho new stuff yep im down wid it. seems lots of cool intersting stuff coming out of scandinavia bout now
Sure! Post what you want. I just want to avoid label arguments.
This was the Cecil recording that warmed me to him as well. It's one of the few I have left in my collection as my love affair with free-jazz waned after I got in a little too deep. If you've never heard it, I would jump on "Air" next.
I'm a big fan of Malik and first heard of him when he appeared on albums from certain Belgian groups like Octurn. My favorites are probably XP2 and Saoule. Here are a few tracks:
That XP21 track is killer!
As a few people like Hugues can attest, I have a large Belgian/French modern jazz selection and it's one of my favorite regions because some artists tend to mix in avant-garde elements with a healthy dose of what's referred to as "M-Base" (Steve Coleman's philosophy). In fact, this Malik album is on the label that Coleman was on at the time (French label 'Label Bleu") and he appears on the album.
I get the feeling that if there were ever a gateway for Ian (Nogbad) could lose significant cash, it would be by exploring this scene.
Excellent. Formanek has been somewhat hit/miss for me, but his last two releases have all been very good to great, imo.
Yeah, I'm a huge Hollenbeck/Claudia fan. Not every album has clicked with me, though I think he may have peaked with "Joys & Desires" with the Jazz BigBand Graz.
Speaking of bass players, have you or Jerol followed Drew Gress' work (bass player in Claudia)? His last few albums are fantastic - 7 Black Butterflies and Irrational Numbers.

Thanks for the Fight the Big Bull Clip. I'll have to put that on my list. I was a big fan of Bernstein's "Diaspora Suite" back in 2008. I should pull that one out.
Lehman is hit/miss for me, but I agree he has a compelling sound which draws me back in and really thought he shined in the Octet format.
Good call on Harrison. I actually became familiar with him from his work on Vinny Golia's 9 Winds label. My favorites are Urban Myths and Harbor.
This is great news! I am fortunate enough to have the Arcade CD, but these Abercrombie albums were at the top of my reissue wish list for ECM. After these come out, that'll move DeJohnette's Directions and the two Liebman albums to the top.2. John Abercrombie - Arcade (1979), Abercrombie Quartet (1980) and M (1981), three ECM recordings that, barring a brief, limited edition Japanese CD of Arcade, have yet to see CD issue. Until now.
Good call. Some of that material has that back alley feel.
Feel free. I only started the discussion with the vibe talking about today because of the relative lack of attention it receives. I apologize if I gave a different impression.

A challenge!
With as much free stuff as I've heard, I tended to gravitate away from the "balls to the wall" intensity of Brotzmann AND with the saxophone itself as a lead intstrument. I found my favorite free-jazz/improv stuff being that with more texture or different tone. Examples might be Parker/Guy/Lytton trio albums, George Graewe trios, Ganelin trio, Satoko Fujii, Scott Fields, etc. I can think of one or two people that post at PE that may be able to help. I could probably think of a few things as well given enough time.
In scrolling through my database, here's a few I've heard (but don't remember enough to be of great help in some cases) but may be some names you want to check out: AALY Trio with Ken Vandermark, Derek Bailey, Mats Gustafsson, etc.

Thanks for posting. I'll put this on my radar.
Fiske is on the most recent album "Atlantis", which will get pretty solid recommendation from fans like myself. It's hard to pick one track as it's fairly dynamic, so I'll just go with a jammy one... (

You might dig Cecil Taylor's cds 3 Phasis and/or Cecil Taylor Unit, both on New World Records.I owned them both at one time but culled my Cecil Taylor collection a few years ago, and these went to a friend.I recall the music as being mucho high energy,even for Cecil Taylor;a bit too intense for my somewhat changing tastes at that time.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I'm one of the 212.
I do have 7 Black Butterflies. I haven't played it in a few years. BTW, Grooves Inc has good prices on some of the Polish jazz releases, but I'm not seeing the Winobranie CD listed anymore. I don't know if it went oop?
I'll hang in case it goes private.

How about Monica playing Bill? Anyway, how about this for the greatest jazz band that never made a record?
For fiery aggressive but also spiritual jazz, check out David Ware. For fiery aggressive punky jazz, check out Acoustic Ladyland. (on a mobile phone just now, so can't post linky things).
I'm off to see a double header with Roller Trio & Get the Blessing on Thursday - 2 bands exemplary of the way in which urban UK jazz has started to explore a new realm of jazz/post-punk "fusion".
Can't blame you there! The sax can be particular piercing in this context. Certainly can drift into the 'mood music' realm quite easily. I think thats my particular "problem" with the more textual stuff you mention. I need to be in that particular mood to enjoy it otherwise my ears and mind wander too much to fuller appreicate it. Nevertheless I'll add the artists you mention to my list of things to investigate (S Fuiji sounds familar to me for some reasons). And I'll definitely look into AALY trio and Ken Vandermark (who somehow escape my investigation even though he was part of The Flying Luttenbachers at one point).
Thanks.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.

Don't have much time to contribute, here's my bit (sorry, it's the ones from the I Hate Jazz thread)
listen to the man's voice in the seond part
Fabrizzio is the Aka Moon trio saxman, btw (and Hatzi on bass and Galand on drums are in the project as well)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

Cozy... yeah, I think you and Nosebone (and more surprinsingly Yves) all have a certain/good knowledge of the Belgo-French scene and history Probably more than me...
Excellent Malik choices too, BTW
reine is a guest with the band (there is a E9 YT vid posted on the first page)
=========
Cool stuff with Good God and Zbigniew Namyslowski. Thanks for posting!!
Also for that excellent Threadgill vid.... Never heard this project... Is it the name of it : Society Situation Dance Band??
(my library system doesn't have it)
==============
Ian, are you familiar with Aka Moon, Flat Earth Society or Octurn yet??

Energy music question: David Ware and Charles Gayle are great suggestions. Can't remember if you mentioned Albert Ayler ... the reigning saint of the form. Sonny Sharrock, of course.
Marilyn Crispell's catalogue has a lot of this kind of stuff. Really great, especially if Gerry Hemingway is along. It's a different texture from Last Exit and the electric guitars, though.
I just saw Roy Nathanson's Sotto Voce group up here in Maine. Roy and the Jazz Passengers were a favorite from my days in the NYC (the early 1990s). Still, amazing,
