Oh, it was most definitely a foul and I think Ramos knew exactly what he was doing - the more I view it the more obvious that seems. Part of his remit was to nullify Salah and what better way than that - premeditated cheating. To have such disregard for a fellow professional's welfare is a disgrace. All great defenders have the ability to exploit the dark arts and Ramos has that in spades. And, no I'm not a Liverpool fan

I thought I could hear your applause... The longer tracks work best. It's a shame they didn't make it a double package and maintain more of the band playing on each piece to provide greater context for Gare's solos. Sounds fine for what this is, a fond memorial

Worth the entry fee for the first track alone

Parker, Edwards, Corsano - The Hurrah [Oto roku] Fantastic!

Anyone interested in EP's work will enjoy listening to this discussion with Dave Douglas, I think As always, he's an entertaining, informative and modest conversationalist https://greenleafmusic.com/anftd-49-evan-parker/

Brotzmann, Mengelberg, Bennink - 3 Points And A Mountain [FMP] Fuchs, Schneider, Huber - Momente [FMP] two marvellous trios. The Fuchs sounding particularly impressive this morning

I like that one a lot

Indeed...another interested party here?

Mike Westbrook - In Memory Of Lou Gare [Westbrook Records] https://thebluemoment.com/2018/05/22/lou-gare-a-souvenir/

Enough Mr Murray. Now for an all time favourite, irrespective of genre I remember the DIWs being available at Mole but costly. I was surprised that 'Ming's Samba' was released in 1989. In my head it was later but I have no recollection of buying it. Just another in The Great Hoovering

David Murray - Ming's Samba [Portrait]

David Murray Octet - Home [Black Saint] the line up of this Octet is quite something

Herbie Mann - Stone Flute [Embryo Records] Herbie Mann - Gagaku & Beyond [Finnadar] and now, another spin of this

Well, that was a very fun couple of hours. Keith Richards is really just there for effect now as he plays little guitar of any significance, Ronnie Wood was on fire taking the vast majority of lead guitar. Charlie Watts is still the coolest of the lot and Jagger is just Jagger. Obviously the back catalogue is huge and full of classics but it's still a surprise when they pull yet another gem out of the bag. Expectations fully exceeded (and partner ecstatic).

"The Ritual" has moved to the top of the 'to buy' list

Really? Does Iverson not know about Dean to that, somewhat dismissive, extent - "this person".

The Rolling Stones I've never felt the urge to see them but my partner has always wanted to and they're not getting any younger. I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised...

Kahil El 'Zabar & David Murray - Golden Sea [Sound Aspects] I saw this duo in a not yet finished Jazz Cafe in London in about 1989 when this was released. Winter, no heating, no licensed bar but the music kept us all very warm. I don't listen enough to the El 'Zabar recordings I own

That's what I thought too Andrew Hill - Invitation [Steeplechase]

Paul Bley Trio - s/t [Radio Canada International]

I keep meaning to get that

Worry not, it's not really very good at all... It's from the same session as the ECM 'Ballads' which is at the top of my list of favourites - both are sparser than many of the other trio recordings and foreground Altschul and Peacock to great effect on some extended solo/duo passages. Glorious stuff. I discovered its existence on here too. There's a Paul Bley Trios thread somewhere. Dangerous place

This one's right up there with my favourite Bley trio recordings
