I'm considering going but may not make it. I really want to see these shows:
Thursday, January 10 - Gary Bartz Plays Another Earth with Pharoah Sanders; Nubya Garcia openingFriday, January 11 - Marathon, Night 1 (I'm hoping to see Ezra Collective, Makaya McCraven, and Aaron Parks' Little Big)Saturday, January 12 - Marathon, Night 2 (I'm hoping to see Anteloper, Nubya Garcia, and Irreversible Entanglements)

I have 12 nominations left for the ILM poll if anyone has used up their noms and wants any jazz/improv/classical/avant on the ballot.

i heard a cut from makaya mccraven's universal beings today and was honestly quite blown away. and i never expected i'd be taken in by a jazz record like that.

What was the name of the song? I'm way behind in checking out the last few MM things
Not sure if this is the right thread, but the new Jeff Parker album is phenomenal

Yeah, Universal Beings is wonderful.

I've just discovered McCraven's CHICAGOxLONDON mixtape from 2018 which is fantastic. Lots of lovely Rhodes piano.

Something I was shockingly old when I learned (this week, in fact): this isn't a jazz-centric rebrand of the guitar soli-type label from a few years ago. Obviously I was confusing it with Imaginational Anthem

This revive has really brought my “should I start a dedicated McCraven or an International Anthem thread?” dilemma to a head. Anyone have a preference?
― rob, Thursday, 23 January 2020 22:40 (four years ago) link
I like label threads because you can talk about more stuff in there. I made one for Soundway records and do not regret it :)

Also IA are really doing an amazing job elevating their artists to the international level, like it's kind of amazing

It really is, and it's nice that they're so thoroughly Chicago-focused.

That's my fave track on Universal Beings.
― jaymc, Thursday, 23 January 2020 23:29 (four years ago) link
McCraven thread is overdue imo
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 23 January 2020 23:48 (four years ago) link
I agree and will probably make one anyway when the GSH thing drops, but in the meantime: International Anthem: S/D

Too late to vote but fwiw I too like the idea of a dedicated thread. I thought about starting a similar one for Astral Spirits but, err, didn't
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 24 January 2020 01:22 (four years ago) link
astral spirits is such a sick label start the thread
intl anthem thread good too, keep up the good work posters
