I'm listening to 'Hornful Of Soul' as my introduction to him, because of this thread. Definitely hear that "great deal of joy" A terrific listen

That second side of Hutcherson's 'Components' and under his own name, 'Almoravid'.

https://www.henleystandard.co.uk/news/home/169825/musician-buys-saxophone-that-belonged-to-jazz-hero.html This is an idiosyncratically parochial report of a nice story. It's as if the paper has no real idea of what a stalwart Themen is. For our non-UK friends, Henley is an affluent, small town best known for it's annual rowing regatta

Yes maybe, but I suspect not more than one of them so that other artists can be covered. I'm not sure how many releases will emerge but I don't see it being so many as to allow multiple titles from artists. I hope I'm wrong. Thankfully my copy is mint so I don't feel the need to upgrade. I remember trips to that museum

Mike Westbrook Concert Band - Release [Deram, mono UK 1968]

This is the cover that came to mind when I saw this thread

James Moody - A Great Day [Cadet, RP] bought the pressing with the lovely colour cover, monochrome one arrived...music's plenty of colour to it

It isn't so! I'd be fascinated to hear what passes muster for inclusion

Exactly. The doc is well worth a watch if you can

Thanks, just found some of it online so will sample. Thanks to your and Hutchfan's advocacy and enthusiasm for Moody I'm always primed to investigate

Is that album as good as the cover suggests?

He wasn't at all as far as I know. Pretty upfront, had his trials like most of us but not mysteries. Serious answer. I'll be interested to see if anyone has a differing view though

Evan Parker & Paul Lytton - At The Unity Theatre [Incus, UK 1975]

Peter Brotzmann, Milford Graves, William Parker - Historic Music, Past Tense Future [Black Editions, 2022] Oh Yes!

Belfast is a masterpiece. Very resonant.

I hope the album with Harper sounds better than it looks...that cover design?!

Tony Oxley - 4 Compositions For Sextet [CBS, 1970]

Costly trip to a new to me record shop, Atlantis Records

That's just about where I am too, without having seen him. I like that he is doing what he's doing and folk are listening but it just doesn't click for me maybe because I love all the influences so much.

That line-up works for me. No recording date, I'm guessing at least ten years old if not more

Thanks, Hutcherson was my main attraction so that's useful to know

Marvellous

Cedar Walton Don Cherry Vic Ash

I'm intrigued by that Forman. How is it?
