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

Karl Berger

the 2021 reissue

Wow! Where did that come from, just found it on Spotify. Thanks for posting David 'Fathead' Newman - Davey Blue [HighNote] mentioned on another thread recently, lovely album

It is

And there I was all ready to give the album a chance to convince me of Adams/Pullen (I know, I know....) and you go and mention Ken "Hushpuppies" Clarke

I think VDS is great too. The flower market was crazy 30 years ago when I stopped going because it was too busy Doing the search again you get these - Kristina (used to be in Dalston I remember), Tome, Lion Coffee & Records, Jelly Records, Lobster Records, Vinyl Pimp. I guess a couple could be labels thinking about it now And moving slightly beyond the initial search map there's Harry's Record Shop, Play Vinyl, Love Vinyl, Stranger Than Paradise. I know the last two

Mr Nessa tells that story somewhere on the board, I'm sure. He ended up with a consignment to sell as payment iirc

sounds like the strongest J Jazz series issue for a while

That is keen pricing indeed, I need to make a trip. When I did a Google Maps search there were something like 5 other record shops highlighted on the same page. Hackney is vinyl heaven these days. Must apply for my hipster passport...

That's interesting, thanks. They've been adding tons of stuff if their Instagram posts are anything to go by. Shop looks fantastically haphazard too, like ten years ago perhaps. That's a nice Lindberg
