Yeah, shame that "unknown" and "mysterious" sells more than "well respected", I'm guessing

darn that prune! revisiting some seldom played Gonzalez Dennis Gonzalez - Stars/Air/Stripes [Daagnim, 1982] Dennis Gonzalez - Witness [Daagnim,1983] Both well worth a listen. 'Witness' featuring @JSngry any memories?

Sounds intriguing and fun. I never listened to Snarky P. I see it's streamable so that's me sorted

This again

and it just so happens that I'm now playing my entry point. Such a varied and interesting album this one... Jaki Byard - Freedom Together! [Transatlantic, UK 1968]

Now that's a recommendation and a half, thanks. Over to Discogs I go... Jaki Byard - On The Spot! [Prestige, France RP]

A man driving down a country lane who runs over a cockerel. he goes to the farmhouse and knocks on the door. A woman opens it and he says: “I appear to have killed your cockerel. I’d like to replace him.’ She replies: “Please yourself, the hens are round the back.”’ RIP Barry Cryer, comedy genius

Lovely. Do you remember his response?

Rambunctious. Twin trombone over rolling Tippett. Great fun and well worth a visit. One of the few Allen's I don't have. Should I rectify that?

K. & J.J. - Israel [A&M/CTI, Germany 1978]

Now playing... Nicra - Listen/Hear [Ogun, UK 1977]

I was hipped to this album on this board (by felser, I think) so pleased to see an imminent reissue from a good label. No CD though (don't shoot the messenger) https://madaboutrecordslabel.bandcamp.com/album/jothan-callins-the-sounds-of-togetherness-winds-of-change?from=fanpub_fnb

I couldn't agree more. I'm always going to give something with Sommer in a second look.

It's on Spotify if you're that way inclined

I have a chronic condition one of the symptoms of which is sleep disturbance, especially getting to sleep. I do a meditation/relaxation before bed every day and haven't touched caffeine in 15 years. It helps but not always. Also, hardly any alcohol, in fact one or two drinks leads to a lot more disturbance than several.

Yeah, I have that. Haven't listened to it in probably a decade but remember good impressions. Thanks for the reminder All my CDs are boxed up so can't revisit it immediately.

Zerang, yes! Saw him with the Brotzmann Tentet, would love to see him again

Chico Hamilton and nowadays, Mike Reed

Most of his catalogue... Same for me with added earplugs

Sonny Rollins - The Bridge [RCA Victor, Canada 1962]

John Tchicai - Cadentia Nova Danica [Polydor, UK 1968] such engrossing music that cuts through the slightly distant live sound. Must have been great to have been in attendance.

Both my local Morrisons and Sainsbury's have noticeably empty shelves.

I streamed some of it before pulling the trigger. Sounds interesting and the Coltrane album is really hitting the spot
