Two winners there

Lots to be thankful for in the Enja catalogue

I enjoyed that compilation. Strut seem to be on a mission to reissue the Black Fire catalogue. Apart from the JuJu reissues I've not bitten yet so interesting to see what thoughts are shared here too.

Can't believe I missed no.7, I've listened to the album at least twice whilst the BFT has been up. It's one of my favourites of the last couple of years no.11 makes complete sense too now. I only have one of his or the Pyramids' albums so maybe I have some excuse. But I have little excuse not getting the Bley and the Burton, both in my collection. I was a great selection

Muriel Grossman - Union [RR GEMS, Estonia 2021] Ingfried Hoffman - Hoffman's Hammond Tales [Philips, Germany 1963] The New Elvin Jones Trio - Puttin' It Together [BN Liberty, 1968]

Enjoyed both of these, must be ten years since I dug them out last

I like that dungaree fact. I also like Rowland and Dexy's a lot, despite some of their sartorial choices.

In that case, I need to hear this

What's the wealth of her family got to do with her artistic talent or worth? Surely we're not insisting on the old poverty stricken artist in a garret equals proper art trope are we? Apart from anything the article talks about how she reacted to the wealth and status of her family

Thanks for posting this, good article. I'm aways very happy to recognise her worth as an artist before, with and after her time with Lennon. I enjoyed the Serpentine show. The Beatles don't mean too much to me so never understood the backlash she experienced.

Not when Bananarama wore them in the 80s but that probably says more about me than dungarees (Brit usage)

That helps, thanks. On the 'to buy' list it goes

I like music but only have a passing knowledge of Blues history or music theory. I fancy this book from a historical perspective. Is it for me would you say?

Turntable repaired, time to catch up on new arrivals Ingfried Hoffman - Ingfried Hoffman's Hammond Tales [Philips, Germany 1963 mono] Misja Mengelberg Quartet - As Featured At The Newport Jazz Festival 1966 [Artone, Netherlands 1968 RE] Gunter Hampel Group - Music From Europe [ESP, 1967]

I think they do have locale influence, Reggae retailers in Brixton and Portobello very probably reflect the community at time of their establishment. I don't think it's a coincidence that Honest Jon's has focussed on Reggae, Jazz and music from around the world. I think the DJ culture's importance in London is reflected that shops focussing on all genres of dance music are spread throughout the city. Established in the same area as the original Honest Jon's shop probably reflecting the area's cheaper rates and 'alternative' history, now almost completely overwhelmed by gentrification. No squats now for the next Clash. It was a fantastically ramshackle shop.

Fascinating, I love the idea of Barnett and Ornette coinciding like that. Two of my favourite artists. I don't know Judith Lindbloom but will certainly do some research to remedy that.

thanks to @Dub Modal BFT compiler extraordinaire

OK, so ignoring all the blind alleys caused by mentions of Michael White and thanks to the prompts that it's not a violin that my cloth ears are hearing, track 8 is 'Bruremarsj' by Garbarek, Vesala and Andersen from the ever marvellous 'Triptykon'. https://www.discogs.com/master/108087-Jan-Garbarek-Arild-Andersen-Edward-Vesala-Triptykon Stellar trio and a fabulous album that I obviously haven't listened to nearly enough recently. Vesala was a monster precussionist and drummer. Great choice! Early Garbarek in a trio, should have got this a lot earlier

Thank you,and apologies for not paying full attention to the listing. Too keen to access the music, in my defence...

Someone else posted it recently on another thread - I can't remember who so can't give them their due credit

Can't believe I missed Garbarek. Kudos for that spot and the way it was arrived at. I thought I knew most of his output but obviously not nearly well enough. I'm going to be intrigued come ID time. The albums with Shankar are the only JG albums with violin as far as I know. Perhaps he's not the leader?
