Sadao Watanabe - Paysages [CBS/Sony, Japan 1971]

As LP on dodgy, bootleg label Doxy. Even those are going for £50 these days. Discogs lists this CD issue which is both "unofficial" and listed as Prestige so that'll be a bootleg too https://www.discogs.com/release/5308885-Ahmed-Abdul-Malik-The-Eastern-Moods-Of-Ahmed-Abdul-Malik There is the option of the official LP, yours for only 900 euros ...

Same here

Some British Jazz for the afternoon John Keating and All Stars - British jazz [Oriole, UK 1956] Bill LeSage directing Directions In Jazz Unit - Road To Ellingtonia [Phillips, UK 1965] Music From The Soundtrack 'All Night Long' [Fontana, UK 1962]

Such a shame, some are taken from us just too young I discovered his music in the late 80s with 'Debenge Debenge' which just knocked me out. I have followed his recordings closely since and have many on my shelves. I had some communication with him when ordering direct,. I remember sending payment in $ cash as requested which seemed bizarre but worked. He seemed an absolute gem of a person on this limited evidence. I only saw him live once, he played a solo set and it was every bit as good as I'd hoped.

Fan of 'Paysages' here too. I don't know 'Open Road' so will rectify that

One of the finest

Another thumbs down on Scofield on that Henderson and mostly in general too

x I wish that was nearer... I saw a very good Helen Frankenthaler woodcuts exhibition yesterday at the Dulwich Picture Gallery https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2021/may/helen-frankenthaler-radical-beauty/

Horrible to hear such news. A valued contributor. Condolences to family and friends like Mr Nessa

Thanks for the write ups, just bought the Gato on the back of that one

Charlie Haden - the Ballad Of The Fallen [ECM, Germany 1983] such powerful music, horribly apt for today's news

That I.G Culture mix is Broken Beat, surely. Funny you should say that as the video features people having a good chat behind the DJ.

Is Fred Frith on that?

This has got me listening to Peterson's final album 'Raise Up Off Me', sounding very good https://ralphpetersononyxmusiclabel.bandcamp.com/album/raise-up-off-me He was one hell of a drummer. I was lucky enough to see him once with David Murray. I'm not sure I do either, always seemed a bit older but not sure if he was.

Ralph Peterson's albums are the only ones I still listen to from this gang. Fo'tet especially

Thanks

Thanks for spotting that. I didn't check the site itself as it didn't come up in my Google search, silly me. £22/$29 is still pretty steep but it's the import price as there is unlikely to be distribution over here.

The Mwata Bowden sounds right up my street. Does anyone know of a download option? I have looked but no luck, CD looks like £40 to UK is cheapest, not in stock at Squidco unfortunately

I have always believed so. Major well-established online retailer (they do have one physical outlet) with a focus for Classical music, a good alternative to Amazon. I've purchased from them a few times, no issues

Absolutely HutchFan, couldn't agree more
