A goodly heap bought in this week plus a couple of promos:

Best reissue discovered in 2008: alto & tenor saxophonist Steve Grossman's (remastered) The Bible, with Jan Hammer (scorchingly good on electric piano/synths), Don Alias (drums) and Gene Perla on double bass.

Sugarcane Harris: Sugar Cane's Got The Blues (remastered and out soon in the UK on MPS - I bought in the US release via Amazon.UK) - Robert Wyatt post-Softs playing drums, and Terj Rypdal guests on one track.

The Web's I Spider (ex. Eclectic): I bought this and perhaps the more familiar Samurai  at the same time but played this to death - excellent example of rock jazz.

Thanks to Mr Travis I have just received Travis & Fripp's ambient/soundscape jazz of Thread, which has provoked me into relistening  to Travis & Lawson's For The Love Of Open Spaces.

Also suggest checking out the more than usual dense musical textures and cross-references of Surinder Sandhu's The Fictionist - 'indo-jazz fusion' doesn't provide a full enough description.
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.
