New Michael Garrick Argo albums box set on the way 'Voyage'. Two volumes, first volume with 'Heart Is A Lotus, Homestretch Blues, Mr Smith's Apocalypse, Troppo. Remastered from original tapes, looks like LP only (please don't shoot the messenger) as it's part of the British Jazz Explosion series. https://www.instagram.com/p/DdZopxuEXFJ/?stkn=dmpsMG5tcjg4MzI5 I have originals but will be very interested to hear this. Volume 2 next year, no details yet

Tony Oxley - February Papers [Incus]

That is a very, very good album

Just been playing the Bailey/Tacuma/Weston, what a blast that is. Harmolodic funk!

Same here

That one track does sound very good. Hopefully we'll see UK distribution

Lovely, thanks Pim, that's just what I wanted to hear

Is that the new pressing from last year @Pim? First pressings are priced out of the question but I have been thinking of the 2x45rpm version. I would like a good sounding LP as my old CD is really not good sq

I got that off the shelf again yesterday, fine album with a lovely piece in the liners from HT about Wilson I have them all too, bought on release in real time. I also have the lovely 'Newyorker in a sentimental mood' LP only because you posted it here a while ago, until then I had no idea of its existence. So, thank you!

2015 was the last time she was in London. Had a dispute with the promoter and arrived in the concert hall 2 hours late, I'd given up and gone home by then I just listened to 'Point Of View' from 1985 and I'd forgotten how significant Grachan Moncur III's contributions are to it. Steve Coleman, Lonnie Plaxico and John-Paul Bourelly. That's M-Base house band almost

Terribly sad. She had been very quiet of late. I loved her music from Days Aweigh onwards. Lucky to see her perform a few times most notably at Ronnie's. I real favourite gone. That's tomorrow's playlist sorted

Her voice made more sense to me after I saw the sextet play live. I really enjoy her cello playing.

I'm no royalist but occasionally they get it right. Recognising a queen.

Her work in literacy alone would be a life well lived notwithstanding her musical achievements. UK media flooded with tributes, leading all the news bulletins. Her Glastonbury performance in 2014 reminded old about her and introduced new generations to her. And also a beacon of tolerance "I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge." Hollywood Repoter 2023
