What other Peterson collections should I get? I know he's been around a long time, I see appealing titles, but no idea where to go next.

Holy Modal, just listened to Nubya Garcia's new Source: so far her tenor's seeming heavy and unresponsive to peppery drums etc. on first two tracks, but the rest blows me away, and is mostly thread/mix-relevant:3. Source (featuring Ms MAURICE, Cassie Kinoshi, Richie Seivwright) 12:08 4. Together Is A Beautiful Place To Be 07:36 5. Stand With Each Other (featuring Ms MAURICE, Cassie Kinoshi, Richie Seivwright) 03:38 6. Inner Game 07:44 7. La cumbia me está llamando (featuring La Perla) 04:15 8. Before Us: In Demerara & Caura (featuring Ms MAURICE) 08:00 9. Boundless Beings (featuring Akenya) 02:46 aboutAward-winning saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia announces her debut album SOURCE, to be released August 21, 2020 on Concord Jazz. Produced by Garcia herself in collaboration with celebrated producer Kwes (Bobby Womack, Solange, Nerija), the album is announced after the release of lead single “Pace” and a rousing live performance on the BBC’s 2020 Glastonbury Experience.SOURCE explores a multidimensional jazz sound layered with soul, afro-diasporic sounds and hints of dub-step along the way. Tracks 4 and 6 are the relatively mainstream--vibrantm and in the case of "Inner Game," fast-ballads, the rest is more cosmopolitan yall, all ranging from affecting to exhilarating. (Well-rounded, and even a bit more variety in the closer, which is Arkestra-worthy Earthlight serenade.)I listened here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbzDZxmJypQ&list=PLddSkUxmPEC-f9Ly6O1i_YdMzXHE_9EPR&index=1

What the hell, anyway check YouTube for Nubya Garcia Source full album (opener "Pace" is playing again, and now I get it, but think those I pasted fit thread better)

Is there any catch-all thread for the whole current London jazz scene including Boyd, Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Yazz Ahmed, Camilla George, SEED Ensemble, Maisha, Nerija, etc? There's so much interconnections between these people and their sound that a separate thread might be nice?

Well yeah, but that one is technically about Hutchings just like this one is about Boyd... I meant a thread for the entire scene.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 09:37 (three years ago) link
I can start one if it doesn't exist yet, I feel like they deserve a single unifying thread?

There's a great set by KOKOROKO at the Proms on the BBC i-player at the moment

This one is about Boyd... I meant a thread for the entire scene. This one's gotten to be about others as well, but good to have more threads covering the scene, scenes, yeah!

Can't manage the post now, but on youtube check Katy B vocals for Boyd's remix of "2 Far Gone"--hope he'll remix--the whole album maybe? Why not. Check her thread too.
