Thanks for posting the photos, good to put a face to the name.

Yes, thank you for making the enquiry. I feared as much, such a shame. His knowledge of music and books seemed very deep indeed. I'll miss his presence here.

Lanthimos is a great director, I've enjoyed all his films up to 'Poor Things' which I'm yet to see. There's been some interesting commentary over here on the power dynamic between the main male and female characters and whether it's exploitative of the Stone character. That will be interesting to judge for myself I also thought 'Flower Moon' was terrific and definitely not too long

A Richter retrospective here about 10 years ago had the 'Daydream Nation' candle painting, such a privilege to see it in the flesh. The entire exhibition was knock out. I'd say the same about Richter's exposure here in late 80s. I had no idea when I bought the album, what an album too.

Looking forward to seeing both Ari Brown and Edward Wilkerson for the first time on Thursday. Playing together with an unknown to me UK band at a venue that doesn't usually programme Jazz. All a bit unusual but two masters in London is not to be missed

I'm just entering the "grab everything" stage. Her Artist Share CDs are very costly here so it's downloads of them and then any other CD releases like this one. I saw her about five years ago, knock out evening, just blew me away. That was an added attraction, I'm interested to hear her take on Weill Very envious, enjoy it!

I don't know that one, will have to rectify soon Edit to add: copy purchased, thanks for the post John

I have a ticket to see Joe in a couple of weeks at Ronnie Scott's, very much looking forward to hearing the legend in the flesh

Great album too

Elizabeth Frink at Dorchester Museum, lovely relatively small overview of her career. Well worth the trip out of London https://www.dorsetmuseum.org/event/elisabeth-frink-a-view-from-within/

Yes it's a fabulous album, I was lucky enough to see them play it live

For what it's worth, this was the one Tommy Smith album that made me sit up at the time

Can't you write them? 😃 I'd be first in the queue for both

I need to catch up with that one

I was thinking the same and I don't believe he has. It's been Eric Harland mostly in recent years.

That's really interesting, I've never thought about this but I've not many Enjas in a collection that really should have far more given the chronology and when I started buying/listening. There's few I've ever warmed to (whilst I have hundreds of ECMs), off the top of my head Sakata, Tolliver, Gary Thomas and a Woody Shaw. Count me intrigued.

From being everywhere Moses seems to have slipped from the spotlight for a while now whilst his contemporaries make the waves. Perhaps he's working in something new. Sold on my copy of the album recently, kept three later ones

The Rich Corpolongo Quartet plus Two - Just Found Joy [Delmark] Digging into my first listen, purchase prompted by @Eric's BFT selection It's tasty

I think those are the ones they were trying to flog at inflated prices in 2014. See up thread

The Schiaffini and De Paula are both highly recommended It is indeed, and I'm going to give it a spin today because of this thread

Watched the first two. It's OK, some clunky exposition. I'll continue I think Many UK reviews called it slow, that was an attraction to me, I don't need everything to move on so quickly. Pacing is important.

Mark Murphy - Midnight Mood [MPS, Japan 1979 RE] Mark Murphy - Sings [Muse, Japan 1983 RE]

That's an old favourite, purchased on release I think. I must have seen Wheeler and Sulzman play together so many times back then, John Taylor a little less so but still enough On here now, something strongly connected and inspired by your recent posts Norma Winstone - Edge Of Time [Wah Wah Records, Spain 2012 RE]
