  2. Sad news. Was one of my favorite living pianists.
  3. No more posts like this. That's why it's a pity to lose Fasstrack. How many of us played with Hod?
  4. In view of recent offerings in this genre, surprisingly good. Intelligent, subtle. Bradshaw got it right for once: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/sep/01/arrival-review-amy-adams-denis-villeneuve-alien-contact
  5. Very little is heard about Emerson in this country, so I'm pleased to have read him (and Thoreau) as part of an American Literature course I took in my youth. Fascinating ideas and, in the case of Thoreau, beautiful prose writing.

  8. I have it and it's a good 'un. On Thursday he was selling that and Kindred Spirits with Phil Woods which is an exceptionally good album. He told us it was a fine experience to be associated with Phil in his final years.
  9. Fascinating!

  12. MF&OA was a set text for elementary level students when I was teaching literature. Perhaps that's why I never liked it. Have much better memories of Justine and the rest of the Alexandria Quartet.
  13. "Blue 7" from this: Revisiting a classic!
  14. Yes, I'd like to have Greg permanently on the doorstep. Such a nice guy, too!
  15. Greg Abate with local rhythm section at Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester. My third "American visitor" gig in six days!

  18. What did you think of them?
  19. Absolute winner. Strongly recommended.
  20. Listened to it again yesterday and, yes, what a fine album!
  21. Saw him at Ronnie Scott's in the 60s. Best of all I like his piano work with Al & Zoot and Getz.
  22. The Cookers at Band on the Wall, Manchester. The band were very good - the venue's sound system less so.
