Have you been to see Parker at the regular gig he has in highland park? I walked by it when I went to see the Comet is Coming. Always wanted to check it out.

My Parker arrived direct from the label this afternoon. Agreed, sounds fantastic.
Speaking of International Anthem, this Pitchfork piece will likely be of interest to some:
How Chicago Label International Anthem Is Rewriting the Rules of Jazz
The label founders walk us through their six-year history in seven songs.pitchfork.com
“There’s going to be a lot of energy and emotions and people trying to topple over the fucking fascists running our country. We want to be putting out music that’s fueling the fire.”
Taking on thrill Jockey eh?
I like that Mauzurek album.

So what are the absolute must own International Anthem releases? I own Damon Locks and Jaimie Branch Fly or Die and I preordered the To Cy & Lee. What do I NEED
In The Moment - Makaya McCraven

Got any Makaya McCraven? If not then I would say thats what you should look for next, fantastic stuff. Below is a list decending from his latest release:
Makaya McCraven - In The Moment
Makaya McCraven – Where We Come From (Chicago X London Mixtape)
Makaya McCraven – Universal Beings
Makaya McCraven - Highly Rare

My tops on the label are probably Makaya "In The Moment" and Irreversible Entanglements "s/t." The Ben Lamar Gay record is really great too.

I would agree with others, you need some Makaya (maybe start with either ‘Universal Beings’ or ‘In the Moment’) and both of the Jaime Branch albums (‘Fly or Die I and II) are also excellent.

I scratched my head for a minute and then I realize that you were talking about LA's Highland Park. I thought, "I didn't think Jeff Parker moved back here." I've been fortunate to see him for now, yikes, a couple of decades when he lived here. I still dig his first couple of records, though I've yet to hear his latest.

Ive mostly seen him with Tortoise in LA. He does little regular gigs around LA, but when he moved here I was in school and then moved to the burbs with my wife and kid. As a result don't get into the city much.

Whoa, totally missed this somehow. Didn't see it posted on here. Hopefully not redundant.
If anyone balked at the $60 price tag for the Nat Birchall - Live at Larissa reissue ($40 + $20 shipping to America!) on bandcamp, I ran across Dusty Grooves selling it on their site for $40 shipped. Not bad for a 2LP that's been going for $100+!

Nat Birchall : Live In Larissa -- Divine Harmony In Duende Jazz Bar (LP, Vinyl record album)
Sublime live sounds from the great Nat Birchall -- one of the most spiritual jazzmen currently working today! The set has Nat and his quintet really stretching out -- playing his own great compositions, plus some Impulse and Strata East classics too -- all at an open, searching, constantly...

I can't argue with any of the suggestions so far, but that Junius Paul - Ism is some hot shit and you need that.
