RYKARD - North Cormorant Obscurity. Six albums by kid creole and the coconuts. Fred Kaplan’s Best Jazz Albums of 2011. I veer away from ruminating on war and peace in my Slate column today, to run down my list of Best 10 Jazz Albums for 2011.
My piece over there includes hyperlinks to 30-second sound clips (the maximum that copyright law allows), but here's the list (the more devoted of you readers will notice that I've written in this space about all of them over the past year). Best New Albums: SONNY ROLLINS, Road Trips, Vol.1 (Doxy). WORLD SAXOPHONE QUARTET, Yes We Can (Jazzwerkstatt). DAN WEISS & POINT OF DEPARTURE, Snuck Out (Sunnyside).
Best Reissues: MILES DAVIS QUINTET, The Bootleg Sessions, Vol. 1, Live in Europe, 1967 (Columbia Legacy, 3 CDs). Yes, you see that, in those two last-cited reissues, I indulged in a bit of audiophilia for the civilians over at Slate-land. And now a bonus to the above list, something I didn't include in the Slate list: a note about sound quality. Obviously, the LPs sound great. My Favorite Records of 2011. Mirror to Mirror's Here You Leave Today—one of my favorite records of the year.
In the January 2012 issue of Stereophile, I list my 15 favorite records of the year (p.52). Here is an expanded, slightly more detailed list. SM’s FAVORITE RECORDS OF 2011. Elvis depressedly.

[tyyny tapes 03] sredni vashtar - r.i.p. conradin new tyyny tapes release is out in exactly three hours on 26th november! Sredni vashtar has made a really avantgardistic album called ‘r.i.p. conradin’. it’s 40 minutes long and has a climax, wow! Listen to the track in the player and you know, what sredni vashtar and conradin is all about. if you like, what you hear, you can order a tape for 10 euros plus shipping costs. there are 26 copies, - so be quick, if you want to have one. :) the special thing about ‘r.i.p. conradin’ is not only the extraordinary sound, but also the cover. mister ernst markus stein made it himself in the serigraphy shop (siebdruckwerkstatt) in dresden and every case is a unicum!
Plus: there is a special gimmick inside the case and a very very red tape. you will have a great time listening, we promise! Tyyny & mini drugus 27th september: release date of ‘u8’ by maura r. Rebel.
