I thought I was bad !

Shocking and tragic news. Huge talent, remember seeing her play around 20 years ago. RIP.

Cripes - I was downright sure I had this one but checked my racks and turns out I haven't. I must have been confusing it with the Stan Getz set. Can't even get a grip on what I have and what I haven't. One more to add to the list..

What's with the Batman post-it on the LHS? Adam West autograph?

Bl**dy great ! Better than Glastonbury !

Not to forget either that there are two new unissued Neil Ardley releases coming up on CD (sorry, wrong thread ). Must check out the 'Binker & Moses'.

Recorded onto what sounds to be a crude C90 cassette but vital music.

It'll be Grachan Moncur III 'Evolution' surfboards next..

I think there was a recent gig at Smalls with both Eddie Diehl and Joel Fass participating. Presumably it is available for listening for Smalls subscribers. RIP - always liked his work on 'Thinking of Home'.

The Bird Curtis Quintet LP is certainly no lost masterpiece but is a fine, very enjoyable session - especially so as these guys were semi-pro I believe. Ian Bird on tenor and alto, in particular, plays very nicely and should be better known. A cohesive and well put together session which any fan of, say, Rendell-Carr is sure to enjoy. The reissue package is also exemplary - considering the reasonable price. End of sales pitch.

The all-time greatest Direct-To-Disk recording, IMO..

Didn't the MJQ set only just become available again? Here and gone in a jiff..
