So you're not be wanting mine then...😃 Very pleased it's all turned out well. Enjoy the music!

Thanks for the reminder, just put my copy on. Must be 5 years since I heard it. It's sounding great

A favourite, I have two copies!

Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Spin [Ronin Rhythm Records, Switzerland 2024]

I'm afraid not, too long ago and possibly too much alcohol involved on the night!

Kullhammar, of course, my mistake. He's good too

Agreed. That's run by Per Texas Johansson isn't it? He's very good in many different settings. Nacka Forum are an old favourite too

I used to listen to a lot about ten years ago so I'm behind the times now. From back then I'd suggest Atomic and each of the players from that band own leader dates. Also Paal Nilsson-Love Large Unit Definitely second Angles, in all its various sizes. More recently, Stahls Trio Organic Pulse Ensemble Oira Pena Superposition

Just back from 'A Complete Unknown' which I thought was pretty all round excellent I'm a Dylan agnostic so went with an open mind and no preconceptions about him as a person. Excellent performances by the main actors involved. I thought Chamalet was vocally very convincing, and Monica Barbaro as Baez was too, perhaps a little less What I really liked was that it made the music exciting, be that solo acoustic in a cellar or the electric performance at Newport.

There's lots more to discover by her too, all of it's good. Her more recent Snowy Egret band plays beautiful music

I had some very good news this week so treated myself to the Sam reissues. The Delmarks in my discogs cart would've cost the same as one Sam so it's wilful extravagance and I don't care a jot!

Never seen that cover before. Great album

Same issue for me

Here's hoping it ducks under the customs net on the way in.

I bet that's interesting I'm trying to decide which of my Circle LPs survive the next cull, this is the most likely. As a group they never seem to reach the sum of the parts and I tend to struggle with Corea

Great album, well worth the investment

Just seen Matana Roberts post the same. That's not very old. A great loss. A semi regular visitor to Oto. I never got on with her music but that's my loss, many, many people with good ears did

Yes, that one

No I saw them at Southampton University

How to inhabit someone else's song. And I say that as someone who would probably take Astral Weeks over every other album in my collection

She was kind of ever present in the background over here as a reminder of the swinging 60s but also someone who transcended that scene to create an interesting career beyond it. I agree that 'Broken English' is a great record. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/jan/30/marianne-faithfull-singular-icon-of-british-pop-dies-aged-78 Just read she grew up in my home town, quite a few years before me sadly

Sorry can't answer your question but they were a great band. I saw them about 1982 but no Don Cherry

Thanks, don't need my earth shattered today so it could just fit the bill

Vinnie Burke All-Stars - s/t [HMV, UK 1958 Test Pressing]

Acting Trio scared me witless about 35 years ago, bet I'd like it today. Coursil, Moncur and Terroade are the ones for me on that list but have LPs of each which I'll stick with
