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'

That looks interesting. How is it? I don't think EWF get the recognition they deserve

Just read the synopsis. Powerful stuff if pulled off well

Imagine if that was even relevant. Of course he can think whatever he wants to. I haven't suggested he can't nor do I intend to.

That presupposes any were bought it the first place and if they were then it's a personal choice

Herbie Mann - Returns To The Village Gate [Atlantic, 1963] Imagine if there was more Village Gate Herbie than already released to be heard. Love these albums

Isn't it just the £30 for four discs as the minimum order, postage included for RoW? That's how I read it The prices listed are for a 4 disc bundle, minimum purchase is one bundle. I paid £15 for 4 delivered discs

Placed my order. Leo Feigin is 85, deserves a retirement.

Thanks. I watched the short documentary and did some further digging. Really interesting sound, sometimes I find the rock element a bit too dominant but more often the fusion works. It obviously sounds very different to some of the Tuareg bands but does put me in mind of them for some reason It's a treasure trove, thanks almost entirely to @kh1958

Yes, Confront CDs are all like that

Never been keen on Gayle since I learnt of his homophobia which I believe was in evidence at one of his Oto gigs as well as well documented elsewhere. But that's just me. No doubt other musicians I listen to have abhorrent views too but maybe not as part of their performances. As you were with the discussion of his music

Whoa! I've never heard of Witch before

Intriguing, may be tempted by this although the span of years makes it less attractive somehow As long as I don't buy the LP in the final photo

Add me to the completely love crew too

Yeah, it was stifling. Also miss the Red Rose, some great gigs and also union meetings attended there

I was at the Shipp Red Rose gig, great evening. Needless to say I wasn't at the Dalaschinsky but it sounds like an impressive event

That's just brilliant
