Joe Henderson - Tetragon, 1969 reissue. Coming from Australia (hopefully)

yes, it does doesn't it. Thinkig about it more, I remember now being surprised at depth of his mental ill health at the time of watching it A well respected news outlet over here, I think it's fair to say

I don't remember this documentary touching on his death or not but I do remember it being a warm tribute to him. I could only find the trailer but it's streamable on Amazon Prime over here so maybe available in US and elsewhere too

No complete 'Rings' that I could find quickly

Thanks for the link and 👍🏼 on your assessment of Togashi. Have you heard 'Rings' or 'The Face Of Percussion ' both solo recordings? Well worth spending time with

That's been on the wantlist for a while

Thanks, yes,sold out now. Friend disappointed ☹️

Did they have any more copies? Asking for a friend...

Absolutely, and nor do I Great album

Thanks. I got in touch with Red Records, they are releasing remastered CD and LP in September

Thanks that's a really interesting development. Unfortunately the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble release is "no longer available" at Jazz Messengers. Hopefully they'll restock as I've been after that for a long time.

Sorry, thought this was a joke rather than just making fun of a foreign name

Always fancied a copy of 'Seant' but prices are steep for the first Polish presses. I'll be interested to hear what folk have to say about Nahorny too

That's a good one. Purchased my LP from another board member a few years ago now. And another terrific album. Togashi really did make some great recordings

Didn't know of it. Great line-up

Seconded. I thought he seemed in pretty fine fettle at Oto last month. I do remember reading somewhere recently that he suffers from COPD which if that's been exacerbated by playing and traveling could well be the breakdown to which he refers. https://twitter.com/burn_amb/status/1638970211306196992?t=gETA_kA436CYOti7hVQOmQ&s=19

Is that a James Reese Europe album? I hope so as I saw him perform the music at the Barbican.

That's interesting because I thought it was not RFH as there was no choir stalls or organ behind them. It looked like a Barbican backdrop to me. The WR clip was fabulous

I was at the Barbican, don't recall a RFH gig but I did see the quartet twice.

Thanks, I'd not spotted that. I was at the concert

One of my favourite J Mc

first time I've heard this. Streaming the new Strut version. It's very good

A very good and probably important guitarist. His later stuff gets a bit too shreddy for me but anything up to 1972 works fine. Also, often features Harry Beckett which means you can't go wrong. He also plays in Beckett's Joy Unlimited band. Try 'Dragon Hill' for a good starter. There's a couple of recent very good releases on Jazz In Britain which should be streamable. As to why so few recordings form the ICA? I have no idea, too many Happenings instead

The album with Derek Bailey still surprises me whenever I listen to it. A great player with a terrific sound.
