Yeah, Hamer really stood out on the first listen, more so than Harriott himself. "Reg, give the bloke his trumpet back in one piece, will ya"

Indeed. I'm going for the gappy smile option...too old to care now

Yes, I was going to note something about the power of the music overcoming the 'limited' sound quality... I blame GP for the purchase of this, wine in hand watching Jazz 625 thinking "why haven't I got that Harriott LP?". The joy of internet shopping, with wine

I'm in the midst of the self same dental treatment so I feel your pain. I am also very very grateful for our National Health Service looking at your costs

Joe Harriott Quintet - Swings High [Cadillac]

I'm a big fan of those Family albums and a few of the others on that list. This makes me think I should head over to Spotify to check out the names I don't know. Always an education, John

Which makes it even weirder as the album I'd been listening to previously was her 'Transfiguration'...

I have no idea but I'm very keen to find out. Any Brown from that time will have me investigating. Another live release like the Giuffre perhaps

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering what to listen to, saw this and thought "why not?". Thoroughly enjoying it, Leon T, Flora P, I had no idea! Last time I listened to Santana was probably "Moonflower' or 'Abraxas' in 1976 or thereabouts....I had no idea they were this Jazzy. A revelation!

Thanks for posting, Ubu. Ordered immediately

I didn't know about Elixir. Now I do I may have to chase down a copy

Understood. Just render away I saw Neneh most recently with The Thing. Have to say there wasn't much reminiscent of when I saw Cherry with Ward and Helias Glad she was good.

I wouldn't normally link to this site as I believe it transgresses Board rules but there's no longer a download link so I think it's OK to do so There's discussion of the concert etc in the comments and a mention of the release you linked to http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2018/06/don-cherry-universal-silence-berlin.html I also came across this

I'd seen it, assumed it was a boot and moved on but I am tempted.

Lloyd McNeill - Treasures [Baobab Record Co.] my introduction to this beautiful album today. Sounds Of The Universe are about to reissue it too

https://bombmagazine.org/articles/amina-claudine-myers/ Interview with George Lewis from 2006. I found it interesting

Two very interesting reissues seem to have snuck out. 'Opium For Franz' and 'Flaps'. CD and vinyl. https://www.discogs.com/Franz-Koglmann-Bill-Dixon-Opium-For-Franz/release/13092851 https://www.discogs.com/Franz-Koglmann-With-Steve-Lacy-Flaps/release/232656 Both are must buys for me

You really don't get it, do you? Or maybe you do but you're being deliberately obtuse. Threats don't need to be achievable to be unpleasant, even disconcerting and unnecessary in a forum that should have a level of decent behaviour

Really? How does it come to this that you feel you need to question someone's mental health with no apparent evidence? Keep digging, the hole's obviously not big enough yet

It appears I bailed out of that thread before it all kicked off - just wasn't interested enough in the groups' music. Now I read the linked threads and I'm more than astounded that such behaviour was allowed - no moderation indeed. Having read that, I'm not at all surprised Paul decided to remove himself from such an environment.

Lloyd McNeill - Tori [Baobab] very pleased to finally own a copy of this. Thanks John.

Dewey Redman - Musics [Galaxy]

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 - Primal Roots [A&M]

I hope he's OK and taking a rest. I really miss his eclectic posts in the 'Listening to...' threads and his depth of know;edge across genres. Always struck me as a gentleman in his online persona.

Hey, welcome back! Hope you find a buyer. Great set
