Pacifica Koral Reef
by Wadada Leo Smith, Henry Kaiser, Alex Varty
supported by 15 fans who also own “The Nile”
This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters!

The Other One
by Henry Threadgill
supported by 14 fans who also own “The Nile”
A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up!
