Not much has got across the Pennines. A brief heavy spell yesterday refilled 1 and a bit water butts. But apart from that it's been overcast, threatened rain but kept dry in eastern parts. And we're the ones with the hosepipe ban!

Typical British summer: 65F, overcast, rain never far away, everything looking very green. Quite pleasant if you're used to it.

All very true!

Love the price sticker on that one ! A lot of good Savoy mayerial on those Realm issues. Unfortunately, I can't claim to have bought it for 22/6! I got it used at Vinyl Exchange, Manchester for £4 just a few years ago. But I am the proud possessor of 5 Realm vols of the Parker Savoys, which I bought when they came out at low price in 1963. Prior to that, at the age of 18 in 1958, I could only run to one vol of Parker Savoy on London American. Not a bad deal actually, as each vol gave a reasonable sampling of the Savoy output and you had to buy further vols largely to get alternative takes. A friend had one other vol and we collaborated on our bebop education!

Al Cohn's Tones (Realm/Savoy)

Very sad news. Big loss to the British jazz community. Saw him several times in recent years at Wigan. His weight gave me cause for concern.
