nice. i got excited thinking that the aaron parks was a new group record, oh well.

judging from your list i think you would dig this record i posted upthread.

Cool; I like the people in his band. I'll check it out as soon as The Wire tops off my Paypal account.

Francis Davis, with comments on the year in Jazz and overall poll results (agree w his disappointed minority opinion of the latest Shorter), but I prefer reading about his own choices and comments on same (damn, a New York Art Quartet box?!)

I'm on his side w/r/t Shorter too (that album was never even in contention for my ballot).

oh shit there was a new mary halvorson?

There several mary halvorson cd´s this year.
i guess this one was too late for Davis´ list:

It was reviewed at Stef´s freejazz blog.

There was also a bass/guitar release on Intakt with Halvorson and Stephen Crumb calles ´Super 8´.
A new Meg Okura cd? Nice.

Started new thread, hopefully the title will not confuse you: I don't know what they mean when they say 'swing hard' anyway. Rolling Jazz Dflat 2014 Thread
