Cecil Taylor Feel Trio - '2 T's for A Lovely T' Coming hugely recommended by 'The Wire' (best Jazz release of 2002) and The Guardian who had this to say: "This is where Cecil Taylor wound up over 30 years after the At Newport recording. He is playing here with a British virtuoso free-improviser and new-music percussionist with a rich jazz history (Tony Oxley), and the stormily formidable American bassist William Parker in an uncompromising spontaneous trio. These ten discs were recorded over a week of shows in London in 1990, The transparency of the sound enhances the differences of intensity and shape across these shows, though the set is intentionally a chronicle of the way a brilliant free-improvising ensemble works over a sustained period, rather than the interpretation of a repertoire. A very specialised item, certainly, but for Taylor disciples, and the more generally musically curious, it is breathtaking" 10 CDs £124.99

The Wizards From Kansas "These guys sorta combined mid-period Airplane and Quicksilver inflections, with a healthy dose and understanding of country music" (From borderlinebooks.com:) "This was an obscure country-influenced band whose sole album contained fine versions of classic period songs High Flying Bird and Buffy St. Marie's Codlne, as well as some excellent original compositions notably Misty Mountainside, Country Dawn and She Rides With Witches.
