strict 6 month gap here between second doses and boosters so it's another 3 weeks + for me. Having had a major op in the interim I wish it were sooner especially given our government's negligent management of community infection levels.

I remember really enjoying it at the time and thought it sounded quite fresh but maybe a little weighed down by the concept. Just having listened to 'Magdalena' I think I prefer that but to be fair it's a while since I've heard 'Reciprocity'. Time for some attention. As you say, it's early days for her recorded career so one to keep an eye on, I think. Now I'm reliving the late 90s and watching an Erik Truffaz stream from Ronnies.

It's still readily available. Mr Bongo reissue is fairly new I think, supersedes the Jazz Man one from a few years ago https://www.juno.co.uk/artists/Mankunku+Quartet/

What a voice that man has. Last time I saw Massive attack he came on in a wheelchair with a leg in plaster and still sang like an angel

What do you make of it? I listened a few times a while ago and thought it had something. Yesterday I listened to her preceding one on that label and thought it merited the attention.

Really?

And that's an "interesting" perspective that I'm not entirely disinclined to agree with. Or putting it another way, there's a hell of a lot of very interesting things going on around him from everyone else on that bandstand. I like the bass "interludes" too, in fact I think calling them "interludes" undermines their contribution to the whole a fair bit.

Probably not the time to say I've never heard of him but the Guardian are running the Press Assoc. piece https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/oct/27/funniest-of-them-all-tributes-paid-to-mort-sahl-after-death-aged-94

I need to spin that again, not done so for ages Meanwhile, always great to have a new ElSaffar arrive

The pre-release tracks on BC

I saw that line-up in London in 2018. They were great

Oh to be 22 again

He's a completely new name to me so I had no idea, sorry.

Me too now, thanks to JSngry's posts. She left me behind a few albums ago but this has something about it and that Wayne solo too. I'm only half way through so it could well be too long later

Spotify lists 1983 for what that's worth Same here https://www.jazzinbelgium.com/person/janot.morales

Don Cherry - Mu First Part/Mu Second Part [BYG Japan, 1971]

What a shame. He did so much for music whether playing it or organising it

Yes, that duo with Wooley is a real highlight

Looking on my shelves it looks like 2012 was my cut-off too. Although I did see him with Shipp after that and it was an excellent gig. The one I have bought since, mostly because he's playing with Karl Berger is 'The Hitchhiker'. It's very good. So I'm also going to be interested in what folk come up with.
