Took me 5 weeks to track that album down, and then by luck found a secondhand copy (with MM's Live) at Ultima Thule in Leicester. So please let on wrt seller! Trends & Other Diseases is great, although you will find Live and Thanks For Flying With Us more sophisticated musically, Live being predominately instrumental, zappa-influenced jazz fusion.

I got this link http://www.101cd.com/music/info.asp?id=6093426
from a friend...

I have played trends a couple of times and I'm very impressed, in fact amazed that there are albums around as good as this I still haven't heard

I intend in getting thanks for flying sometime early next month (when funds allow).
I'd like to hear there most recent output.

In many respects my reaction in October last year when I first heard Mats Morgan - and having already read that Zappa and Bruford were into them, and I had never heard of them before. So keep on checking out all sorts of musicians.......... and be prepared for surprises

You know what, I've been thinking about getting a Jaga Jazzist cd and I think that this thread has convinced me. Off I go to spend some $$! I dont have any of their stuff, but from the samples on amazon, I think I would like their album The Stix. Is this a good one to start on?

Alright, I'm bringing this thread back up... because Jaga Jazzist is awesome. Just listened to "The Stix" in its entirety. I do believe it's some wonderful stuff. The song "Another Day" is so great.

Since they are a local bamd (I live in Tønsberg, Norway), I've seen them live once. That was incredible! I highly recommend the "Animal Chin" and "What We Must" albums.
