Ok thanks, stopped sweating which is quite an achievement today...

I didn't really want to hear that 😄 Sold out already!

Ezra Collective tearing it up at Glastonbury

Walt Dickerson - Peace [Inner City, 1976]

Absolutely terrific. A real discovery and complete punt a few years back when Sam released it Drums, bass, guitar, flute, flowing longer tracks with a great groove and lots of space, think Chico Hamilton Pacific as the nearest comparison that comes to mind on a hot Sunday morning. Even better, have a listen

Ron Jefferson Choir - S/T [Sam Records, France 2022 RE} Henry Threadgill's Zooid - Pop Start The Tape, Stop [Hardedge, 2004] accompaniment to reading in the autobiography about the development of his hubkaphone

Cafe Oto, February 12th. Possibly his last gig.

Arctic Monkeys at Glastonbury masterful display of Turner's songwriting prowess

That's special

Sahm and Farrar, match made in heaven

Soldier Of The Road

Oh no! True titan for so many years, a radical at the forefront of European, and worldwide, music for nearly 60 years. He leaves such a broad discography. Like @RabshakehI was privileged to see him at Oto a few months ago. He played with great depth and verve. The subsequent announcement of his illness didn't really equate with that concert experience. The Tentet+1 Oto concert is still one of the most memorable I have attended. He was a good friend of Oto and visited regularly. Once at Oto I grabbed a quick word with him and he was so self-deprecating about what he'd just played. Let's also not forget his graphic art.

I remember it all too well, watching it live. The final touch just before he shoots is exquisite. His other goal in the match was pretty good too...😁

Doom jazz??! I have one Bohren album somewhere, not often played in the last 10+ years I have always rated the Fire! Orchestra albums more highly than the small group ones, the first one aside which I still think is great.

Jackie McLean - Right Now! [Blue Note, 1966]

Another 50 or so pages on and it's settled down a bit, it was the early years that seem just a bit too disjointed. Maybe that's actually a good way of representing how we remember decades ago, not in a straight line I do like the anecdote/musing combination which is really effective in the Vietnam section which is where I am now. Also, did I want to hear those preachers? Absolutely

I'll look forward to continuing in that case

Lovely

Thank you, also just found it on Tidal

I'll see if i can stream it, I'm intrigued as the EWF sound is so sui generis I'd like to hear how others take it on. And I completely agree about their genius

Naissam Jalal - Healing Rituals [Les Couleurs Du Son, France 2023] Ustad Bismillah Khan - Shehnai [His Masters Voice, India 1969]

60 pages in and I'm finding this a frustrating read. Whilst the content is interesting enough, the seeming cut 'n' paste of some paragraghs/stories lead to some jarring non-sequitirs. I don't need a strictly chronological approach at all but the jump cuts appear clumsy to me and are derailing my reading a bit. this may well reflect how Threadgill chose to tell the story to Hayes Edwards. Hopefully I'll get used to the chosen style as I read on. Whatever happens, I'm not crossing great grandaddy.

Van Morrison - Veedon Fleece [Warner Bros., 1974 UK] I hope I never have to choose between this and 'Astral Weeks'
