Released on 8th of July and includes all tracks from this which I'd recently been looking for:

Someone clearly forgot to tell him that Eric is Harry's evil side-kick. Plus Scotty, of course, to complete the Unholy Trinity.

Simon gave me a couple of very nice CDs - by Eric Alexander!

Happy Birthday!

Saw this exhibition at Liverpool Tate today. Wasn't impressed. Although there are obvious similarities between late Turner, late Monet and abstract expressionism, Mr Twombly just wasn't of sufficient stature to support a third of this show, otherwise given over to two giants. Would have been better if his solo contribution had been replaced by a representative collection of relevant abstract expressionists, such as Pollock, Rothko, Tobey, etc - as well as some Twombly, too.

No Abate this year but off down for the annual Barnes-Fest at Swanage tonight. Let's hope that the rain holds off a bit. Best of luck for the weather. I see you have youthful alto/clarinet prodigy (and Manchester college graduate) Amy Roberts at Swanage tomorrow. I'll be seeing her with Abate (40 years her senior) at Wilmslow on Monday.
