Head Man

... who's another overlooked pianist....

Good to see that Nimbus West are continuing to reissue their catalogue on CD. I've just noticed a couple of new reissues on their website, including one by Horace Tapscott that has only been available on vinyl before. http://www.nimbuswest.com/

Salter's a beautiful writer, there's nothing he's written that I've not enjoyed. I particulary enjoyed his non-fiction ...."Gods of Tin" & "Burning the Days" and his last (fiction) book "All That Is".

Beautiful album...like everything by Henry.

Oooh, Ran Blake.... yummy!

See PM

not so sure about that... ... nor me!

Arrived yesterday... thanks, Chuck... will be playing it later today.

I'd be sick to my stomach.....FULL STOP!

... muesli or porridge... decisions, decisons...

Thanks, Chuck

You won't find a bag big enough.........

Ah well, it's a long time until November........

Thanks, doug... yummy!

Just finished this. An interesting story but I found the writing style rather uninvolving...something lost in translation, maybe?

Ordered together with a copy of "Congliptious" via Paypal

Thanks everyone......

Hey, that's REALLY nice! Do you know where it's taken from, Jim?

As someone who doesn't live in the US, I continually ask the same question........

Yes, I like all the albums I have by him but I must say that I was very disappointed when I saw him live at The Sage last year. Part of a stellar group (The Spring Quartet) with Leo Genovese, Esperanza Spaulding and Jack DeJohnette, they never seemed to get going. Lots of drum and bass solos and mainly squeaks from Joe. Maybe it was just a bad night.....

Finished this on holiday recently.. well plotted and written, as ever by him...recommended. Now part way through this.... ... lots of very interesting (to me) background to the London folk scene in the 60's and 70s. In fact not a great deal about Bert Jansch after reading a third of the book. I guess that will come later, although he does seem to be a rather enigmatic figure.....

Yes, I saw him recently with The Cookers. He was predictably brilliant...in fact the whole group were terrific, one of the best jazz concerts I've been to in years.

Yes, I finished reading my copy recently... enjoyed it. Definitely better than most musical biographies I've read.

The original liner notes in English only appear in the reproductions of the back covers. Yes, that's a great shame because some of the orginal liner notes are worth reading. Sound is very good, though....
