Here is where I post, at a frequency of about once a week, a list of the new music that has caught my attention that week. All of the releases listed below I’ve heard for the first time this week and come recommended.
Some really hot stuff in today’s list. I highly recommend the Anker / Tabron / Cleaver release as one of the best coming from these three gentlemen. Blast and Thee Maximalists are also great as usual. Mion and Verin are two of my recent discoveries on the GRM label, and both are wonderful modern electroacoustic. Enjoy.
Lotte Anker / Craig Taborn / Gerald Cleaver – Floating Islands (2009)
Synflict – Prismatine (2009)
Blast 4tet – Sift (2009)
Thee Maximalists – Crosstalk (2009)
Magee, Massimo / Amos Manne / Lee Noyes – Sax, Bass and Drums (2009)
Philippe Mion – Si c’était du jour (2002)
Nicolas Verin – Quatre pièces pour solistes et sons fixés (2005)

From All About Jazz:
On a sheer sonic level, John Butcher goes further into his instrument—and further out of it—than any of his monumental precursors in the iconoclast tradition of abstract British improvising. Not that he’s going to bury such icons as Terry Day, Trevor Watts, or Evan Parker; but as he demonstrated in solo performance last week at The Stone in Manhattan, this tenor and soprano saxophonist—trained in physics—is particularly well-attuned to the properties and propensities of the sound produced by his horns, apart from its customary dissection into elements of harmonic theory and acoustic principles, and takes it to places unknown to most listeners until now.
