I'll keep my ears peeled from here Just checking its availability and saw this track title "For Deep Deep Finnish Forest Cymbal Governor" has to be one of the best

Now that I didn't realise. Time to upgrade on the CD methinks. Fiery stuff as I remember?

John Stevens - Spontaneous Music Ensemble [Polydor] masterpiece

It's good to listen to this again although maybe a bit too knotty for the day's first. I can hear what MD means, the drums are very foregrounded, especially on side 2. Of course I may have only spotted this because it was pointed out. I'm not sure they dominate the music but certainly I hear them dominating the mix in passages - a drummer's collective

I took it to mean that Erwbol now has so many CDs with the dedication "for Martin" that he's considering changing his name accordingly Unlikely to be Martin Davidson as he's based in Spain and if he were selling his personal collection he'd probably utilise his own retail channels rather than sell to the third party. Nice for Erwbol to hit such a generous seam. 'Pakistani Pomade' is an absolute must. One day I'll find 'Swinging The Bim' reasonably priced, probably at the end of the rainbow

I think that I haven't listened to it nearly recently enough to comment but I may give it a spin tomorrow and get back to you

Grachan Moncur III, Jazz Composer's Orchestra - Echoes Of Prayer [JCOA Virgin]

Don Ellis - Haiku [MPS]

which may explain why the LP was so cheap!

But I'm not judging you or your life. I wouldn't be able to as I know not the first thing about it. I am judging your judgemental reaction to someone's suicide and by implication to their mental ill-health and I hold by that judgement. We'll disagree on that and so be it. I'm comfortable there.

Don Ellis - Tears Of Joy [Columbia]

I didn't know about this album. Something to definitely investigate now I read what it contains I was a big BVSC fan at the time of the first album and that first round of solo albums. A couple of very memorable live shows too

Good to see the milk of human kindness runneths over. Such empathy bowls me over You obviously knew him very well to be able to make such insightful comments on his psyche or maybe you're being exactly what you say you're trying not to be. No two people's challenges and problems are alike.

Enjoying this on a sunny London afternoon, prompted by the Clare Fischer thread

Enjoying the first listen to this one...not in the slightest Clunky

Prince Lawsha - Firebirds Live At Monterey Jazz Festival, volume 3 [Birdseye]

and thanks for the warning about The Nightcrawler, I'll be careful with the iplayer.

Perhaps they could replace 'Thought For The Day' with daily snippets of the album

Now if Mosaic could only find and release some unreleased Coltrane I'm sure they'd find lots of takers and considerable media interest...

thank you

Damn, missed it. All Bolloxit now, go Bojo go

I like vol.1 too. Vol.3 is currently in the post. If I stopped buying all these LPs I might be able to afford an upgrade
