    Dexter Gordon Quartet 'Live at Chateauvallon 1978' (Elemental). Nice INA recording from a few RSDs back. Bonus of sleeve notes by Michael Cuscuna and Maxine Gordon. A superb LP !

    The idea of a Singers Unlimited TV show for teens on Sunday night in the 70s would be unthinkable here in the UK. We would have more likely had T-Rex, Slade, Bay City Rollers, the Glitter creature or something from the Osmond/Cassidy corporations !

    That 'Yoshis' is a really good CD. Bonus for me is that my copy came from our good friend BillF's collection, bless him.

    Picked up straggler LP copies of two of the Sun Ra's (Elemental Chicago concerts plus the Strut) so that is me done for this year. The store also had a second hand copy of David Meeker's 'Jazz in the Movies' book so added that one too. All of the stores I visited seem to have sold their copies of the Bill Evans on Craft in super fast time.

    Bizarre !

    Yes - she was (not sure if it is still going). In fact I saw her mc-ing there on a few of my visits to that venue when located at Helms Ave and even doing a vocal, although can't remember who with. She is interviewed in the booklet.

    I've been happy with their LPs to date. The one time I did have a defective disk they shipped out a replacement from the US pretty pronto.

    Yeah, it's nice - and very varied stylistically too, something for everyone for the audience who were there. Originally wasn't going to get this one on LP but succumbed. Sonically it isn't audiophile but is very acceptable. I'm not a fan overall of the Yusef Atlantics and this one is very much in his acoustic/non-fusion bag. Lots of solo space for Kenny Barron, not surprisingly.

    Just a couple? 😅

    On the second disk from 1966 with the Penthouse broadcasts, Ruth adds a vocal to the short 3rd track of each broadcast. Works well ! As mentioned in the booklet, she was also a good friend of Manne and helped him to scout out the location of the Manne-Hole club.

    Shelly Manne and His Men 'Jazz From The Pacific Northwest' (Reel to Real 2LP) A definite find - Monterey and Penthouse, Seattle recordings by 2 groups in good sound.

    He effectively curated my whole jazz listening life, apart from the UK stuff. Right from the time I saw those brown bag twofers put out with Charlie Lourie in the little provincial shop window - as if from Mars. Huge and grateful thanks to him for this gift.

    My local still had LP copies this morning so succumbed and will give it a spin later on. Bread and jam for the next month ! He has over-done himself with good stuff this year. Thank goodness this is only an annual thing.
