I don't have any other Jimmy Smith so I don't have anything to compare it to, negatively or otherwise. I just liked it in isolation I guess. It had a good relaxed groove which hit the spot at the time.b

I streamed this album for the first time because of this thread and also enjoyed it enough to look up the current prices but not to bite

This is my favourite Desmond, I think

First official report in the UK today confirms your optimism. Small sample size but serious scientists here are taking it seriously https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/23/hospital-admission-risk-up-to-70-less-with-omicron-than-delta-ukhsa-finds Here's hoping

CD4 'Time Of No Reply'

So strange to only release one track from 'Pendulum' but have three from Cream. The trio tracks are fabulous in lovely sound

Jay Clayton & John Lindberg - As Tears Go By [ITM, Germany 1988]

I remember passing up on a copy of that a couple of years ago, wish I hadn't Today's arrivals Mofaya! - Like One Long Dream [Trost, Austria 2021] always pleased to welcome more Jaimie Branch Stahls Trio - Kalltorp Sessions, Volume 2 [Moserobie, Sweden 2021]

Ordered mine here https://madaboutrecordslabel.bandcamp.com/album/tete-mbambisa-tetes-big-sound

I've been drinking non-alcoholic beer since August. Brewdog's 'Nanny State' tastes best chilled but has the best name. Their 'Punk AF' is drinkable too. I had a very good non-alcoholic stout recently but forget the name. I didn't realise Leffe did a non-alcoholic version, I hope that makes it to UK. I'll try the Guiness. edit to add: I have found Leffe 0.0 is here

Irreversible Entanglements - Open The Gates [International Anthem, 2021] I nearly bought a copy of that this week but resisted

The Royal Family The Royle Family The Shrewsbury 24

So it did

I realise that, not questioning the correction at all. My original statement was also preceded by "I think..." so wasn't meant in any way to be definitive. And after all it is the efficacy that's important and if that is lower throughout then it kind of makes my initial statement redundant but reinforces the point I was making that there is less protection from AZ.

And is a lower efficacy throughout

I agree, I think AZ has a quicker tail off in efficiency than the others. Majority of early vaccinations here were AZ so that waning has been noticeable. Double vaxxed and boosted are catching Omicron and we're waiting to see what the impact in ICU is.

Maria Schneider Orchestra have postponed their European tour so no concert for me in January. Can't say I blame them

David Sheppard David Shepherd Nelson (for all you cricket fans)

JD73's Electrio - Pyramid [JD73]

I can't see how we know that yet as Omicron hasn't been around that long. Lab experiments obviously give an indication but how the booster responds in the community is still to be seen. The waning of the original vaccinations only really became apparent with time. UK medical authorities are suggesting 5-6 months so we have a range from 2 months in Holland to 8 in the US. And there in lies Pim's and everyone else's conundrum. Each new variant brings its own new range of unknowns. I will say that Pim is providing a very eloquent counter to many of the arguments that I naturally adhere to and providing some food for thought. Pim you are your middle ground!

These now have a new home

I'll PM you shortly
