One of our most prolific posters hasn't posted since 9th February and I for one miss his input and knowledge. I hope he's just away on a long holiday. Anyone know of his wellbeing?

Donald Byrd - Black Byrd [Blue Note, USA 1973] Ridiculously good this

Welcome back

I haven't heard a lot of her music but that I have I found involving and in parts challenging

That almost exactly describes my blind (deaf) spot with her, even in ensembles except Paradoxical Frog

Thanks, I'll check that out

Almost worth the tenner for the cover photo

Which is why, I think, I just dip in and out occasionally fairly safe in the knowledge whatever is there at the time is going to be worth hearing. Thanks for prompting the most recent dip

Recent-ish releases I've enjoyed https://www.discogs.com/release/27671295-Barry-Guy-Blue-Shroud-Band-All-This-This-Here https://www.discogs.com/master/3358678-Evan-Parker-Barry-Guy-So-It-Goes https://www.discogs.com/release/32594670-Sergio-Armaroli-Francesca-Gemmo-Barry-Guy-At-Sotto-Il-Mare-First-Visit And two I now want to hear having just visited his Discogs pages https://www.discogs.com/release/32222589-Savina-Yannatou-Floros-Floridis-Barry-Guy-Ramón-López-Kouartéto https://www.discogs.com/master/3649200-Barry-Guy-Barry-Guy-Plays-

Is the music on them both as good as the covers? Hope so

Perfect start to the day. I might just follow suit

That sounds horrible. I hope the symptoms begin to finish soon and your family don't kick you out beforehand 😃

That looks intriguing

And I bought a copy because of its inclusion

I'm waiting on the Sorey/Perelman duets album, arriving tomorrow Meantime I'm enjoying this, a lot https://www.discogs.com/release/32594670-Sergio-Armaroli-Francesca-Gemmo-Barry-Guy-At-Sotto-Il-Mare-First-Visit I picked up this today but not really given it a good listen yet https://lukestewart.bandcamp.com/album/the-mythstory-school

Interesting line-up. I shall have to investigate

So much great music. He was the soundtrack to the Jazz Dance/Acid Jazz/Rare Groove scene over here in the 80s which where I first heard him. But the leader albums on Atlantic and the work with Mann became my favourite

👍

I don't know that one. Do you know the Hat releases from 90s, very strong

I find myself wishing my deceased younger sister a happy birthday every year, part of remembering all she brought to my life. I also mark the day she was so suddenly taken from us, coincidentally two days ago

Interesting line up, any good? Another good day from the design team at least...

I hope you enjoy it, I suspect you might

Thanks

Thank you Thank you

Just reading this and the other thread about Fredriksson as I give a first listen to a Columbia 'Intervall' that arrived today. What a great album it is too and what a player.
