That's interesting. I had quite a long chat with Harv about his Nimbus West reissues in Honest Jon's, where he was behind the counter, as I bought one a few years back. He told a different story of what I think I recall was a one-off payment deal to T.Albach for the permission to reissue. He was glowing in how he described his relationship with Mr. Albach. Obviously this statement puts a different perspective on things. I haven't received a response to my email about international shipping and it's still not available through the website

Emailed about the shipping to UK. Interested to see what they quote

Really enjoying my first exposure to this, thank you John. A revelation!

A couple of usually reliable sources online, Gilles Peterson and Dust To Digital, reporting that Carlos Garnett has died. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXYuKYMBgK/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://twitter.com/ecrocamo/status/1631834529928298498?t=Y4U2Ky4L4J-csBHKAY-QeQ&s=19

Peter Brötzmann & Jason Adasiewicsz - Going All Fancy [Eremite] I played 'High Life' last night and agree, it's a strong album Didn't know about the 'Schizophrenia' TP, I have the Connoisseur LP so not sure I'll upgrade

Wayne Shorter - Schizophrenia [Blue Note, Connoisseur 1995]

Just such a great legacy. Sad but he did seem to be more frail each time he was in public recently. 89 years, that's a good innings.

No not very surprised Pim, you always have good taste 😄

Claude Decloo, Arthur Jones - Africanasia [BYG, France 1969] Arthur Jones - Scorpio [BYG, France 1971] revisiting Arthur Jones, love his playing. On listening today I'm surprised that he hasn't been rediscovered by the 'Spiritual Jazz' crowd, he ticks a lot of their boxes.

Yeah, I have, many years ago and didn't get on with it all. I'm not a huge guitar fan and McLaughlin leaves me largely cold so I haven't revisited. Not sure that I haven't sold it on

Holiday fever! 😄

It is, I purchased it just because it's a new JC album and I'm pleased I did

Lucky you!

And this one is special too https://www.discogs.com/master/841138-Jimmy-Webb-Ten-Easy-Pieces https://youtu.be/NpBumzaAigU Apologies can't get image/videos to show using my phone for some reason

That is a great album That's lovely, thanks

Completely agree about Jimmy Webb. For me 'Wichita Lineman' just shades 'Galveston'. He wrote sort stories masquerading as songs. His run of songs is astounding in that period. He plays in London surprisingly often and I really must go and see him

Lots of great music there to fill 2 months, enjoy!

There's normally at least ten in each shipment from what i've seen before, maybe the Woody accounts for the other seven 😀

Blackstone Legacy, nice catch there. I'm still looking for that. This doesn't look like one of your Japanese deliveries.

The best/worst thing about that Tower was it was still open after the pub chucked out...

The label did an excellent job of Mingus 'AModern Symposium...', so I will certainly check this out. No shipping cost in the UK so it's about Tone Poet cost point for me. I'd like to have all this music in good SQ as some of the CD compilations I've streamed aren't the best.

Tomorrow at Ronnie's, Xhosa Cole with a sextet plus tap dancer interpreting Monk. Should be interesting. Will at the very least be an opportunity to see Cole live for the first time

Beautiful album. This post highlights to me how rarely Callier recordings are posted on the board.

I thought as much, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it then. Do you know the one he did on another UK label Gondwana? https://dwighttrible.bandcamp.com/album/inspirations also very good. Mind you he could probably sing me my shopping list and I'd like it!

If you're referring to 'Mothership', it's very good John. If you're already a fan, I am, you won't be disappointed I don't think. And for anyone looking for an intro to DT I'd say it works on that level too. Looks like they're releasing another by him in March which somewhat confusingly is already sold out... https://store.gearboxrecords.com/products/dwight-trible-ancient-future-cd?_pos=7&_sid=c4128ac00&_ss=r High quality SQ was one of their founding principles, they've stuck to it
