Happy Birthday!

The original announcement (Lace Mill Facebook) didn't include Juma, but was revised 9 days later!

Interesting that his profile is rising like that in the UK. He is gradually moving to the front of pack, at a late stage in his life. I just assumed that was the case in the US too. He's playing with Corey Wilkes and Alex Harding at the Union Chapel, so that will be enjoyable too. I like Harding a lot: very satisfying and soulful stuff, although I find the 'twitching' a little distracting.

I have a bunch of CD's by the EHE, and appreciate them all. The one with Pharoah Sanders is especially compelling.

Plan to be at both concerts

RIP. I liked his twang, though the material was usually lacking.

Yeah, Juma is on that Lace Mill gig too. I am looking forward to it. See some of y'all this weekend I hope!

Excellent cake...

Soda Listelle - Fizzy!!!

Yes, hope to see you there! She might've had a few lessons, but "studied with" is debatable. There are grumblings about these reports. I don't feel like airing them here.

Indeed. Incredible sonics on this version.

On CD. Sound quality is better than I expected for live Sun Ra.

Plenty of good suggestions...thanks!

A Ben Tucker master class ....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday.

Didn’t even know he was here in DC — out of curiosity, what was venue?

I was excited to see him here in DC a few months ago. I went online to reserve tickets the day before and was surprised to see that they were all sold out. I regretted missing him this time but felt happy for his success.

Stan Getz “East of the Sun” disc 3 A great collection.

The first record I ever bought (at about 3 months short of my 15th birthday) was an RCA "Best of" compilation by Duane Eddy. It wasn't too long before I sort of tired of his style and found more interesting R'n'R guitar players elsewhere but later on I did pick up comprehensive vinyl reissues of his Jamie recordings. For completeness sake and to occasionally revive old memories. R.I.P.
