  1. A friend of mine was there on Wednesday and sent me a photo, looked very sunny. He said Jimmy Anderson had bowled very few overs. Think Lancs are using his name to get the punters in?
  2. Beautiful memories, thanks Alexander. Saw Louis with you at Cafe Oto a couple of times I think. Great gigs. Re classical music, my late brother in law working for Serious Music collected John McLaughlin from Heathrow years back. He flipped when my brother in law put some loud jazz rock stuff on the radio and demanded silence or classical music.
  3. Agreed. I began listening to jazz through a lot of my Dad’s 78s. Parker Gillespie and Mulligan have never sounded more powerful to my ears. Still have ‘em.
  4. Great! Henry deserves a thread in the Artists section.
  5. Yes, that would have been in the side room to the pub, now unrecognisable as a restaurant. Music is now upstairs. Henry Lowther was on great form (nearly 84). I knew he had played at Woodstock (for the only band not recorded or filmed) but I hadn’t realised the range of artists he had played with over the years, ranging from Elton John to Buzzcocks.
  6. Yes, Still Waters. Veteran Dave Green on bass. Pete Hurt on tenor.
  7. Henry Lowther tonight at the Bull and Gate London NW5, the new home for jazz in Kentish Town. Last band I saw here was Half Man Half Biscuit in the early 90s….
  8. Interesting, many of these early Tyner dates on Impulse are not easy to find.
  9. Wow, two CD reissues. I’m happy to pass on my copy to anyone Uk based who may appreciate it more than me.
  10. Freddie Roach’s All That’s good has evaded most reissue programs over the years. There’s only one Japanese reissue I’m aware of but otherwise, nothing. It’s dreadful. But I’m open to offers!
  11. ‘Alan’ Eager. Such a great record and a great live sound, well recorded. One of my desert island discs. The follow up on X, Handy with strings, is so disappointing
  12. The original Pendulum LP was only ever mono, the Sunbeam CD reissue was stereo. Interesting which way the reissue goes. As an aside Mike Taylor opened for Ornette Coleman at the renowned Croydon Fairfield Halls concert in ‘65. Wonder if any tapes exist of that performance.
  13. Harold Moore’s! Interesting old shop, Mole Jazz was there upstairs for a last gasp before closing. On the CD reissue of Trio, the first track is listed as ‘All the tings you are’…. I think Tony Higgins was involved in that reissue series. You need a magnifying glass for the sleevenotes. The Sunbeam Pendulum reissue is v good
  14. Intriguing that for Trio it states vaguely that “new edition has been remastered at Gearbox Studios, London, using the original tapes (or high-resolution digital source files, taken from the original tapes)” whereas for Pendulum, the source is clearly stated as digital. I think I’ll stick with my CDs. Trio is a compelling record which repays close repeated listening. Wow, jealous. Never seen Pendulum on sale ever. Must have sold in the 100s when it was first issued.
  15. I see the forecast is good for the weekend as I am heading to Manchester to visit friends. Packing shorts! Will miss the cricket, as focussed on a certain football club’s last attempt on some silverware this season….
