anyone like Marilyn Mazur's Shamania? I love it!

Tuomas has nominated it on the ILM poll.... "Force of nature" is right!

I'm afraid the only band member I knew much about was the pianist Makiko Hirabayashi, who's been part of the Danish jazz scene for many years.
Marilyn Mazur has hardly done any interviews recently. There's one in Die Tageszeitung – she talks about her early experimental group the Primi Band, and working in the U.S. in the late '80s:
It all happened very quickly. I played with the Gil Evans Orchestra, including Wayne Shorter, and I was on tour for three years without a break. Then Miles asked if I wanted to tour with him again. But I couldn't anymore, I just wanted to go home and do my own thing and cancelled.
How did he react?
He wasn't used to people turning him down, and he was upset. As much as I loved playing with him, Miles' music had become so strange to me. Back then he was very popular, his sound was also macho. I've never used the term to refer to Miles, but it's true. The atmosphere on stage was not very communicative, everyone had their role.

haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, so posting here as it may be of interest: earlier this year austrian label black-monk reissued franz koglmann's "flaps" and "opium for franz" on both vinyl and CD.
i've found it incredibly difficult to track down even an mp3 rip of "opium for franz" (to say nothing to say of an original LP), so this is most welcome !
looks like some of the european distributors still have copies, but americans might have better luck sending an email directly to the label.

Opium/For Franz was reissued on CD in ‘99 or 2000, but it was a needledrop. Curious if this new reissue (the vinyl, particularly) is mastered from a different source.

four months pass...
Brad Mehldau - Finding Gabriel is really hitting me, kind of adventurous in a low key MOR way, a lot of electronics and synth textures, jazz-meets-Brian-Wilson vocal arrangements
I was going to say that I've been checking this out yesterday and today and loving it, then saw that I apparently actually posted that I liked it literally a year ago.
