  1. Thanks, I like that description of them. I will definitely been checking the other two. Already have 'Solo/Quartet' which is very special, I agree
  2. Are the pies any good?
  3. Bobby Hutcherson - Conception: The Gift Of Love [Columbia, 1979] I've largely ignored BH after his Blue Note years. On this evidence that has been foolhardy. Any views on the other Columbia releases?
  4. Ted Curson - Pop Wine [Soufflé Continu, France 2021]
  5. Milt Jackson - At The Museum Of Modern Art [Mercury Limelight UK, 1965 mono]
  6. James Moody - Feelin' It Together [Muse, 1974] Proof positive, if any were needed, that listening to the consensus opinion here pays dividends. My first Moody LP purchased yesterday simply because of all the positivity towards him here, led unflaggingly by @HutchFan Absolutely feeling it, worth the entry fee for 'Wave' alone. Two more Moody albums ordered already Edit: make that five more ordered as they're all less than £10 each, some just £5 which is about as cheap as it gets for used vinyl here these days.
  7. I only know Bheki too, well worth investigating. I'll be interested to hear your impressions as your investigations proceed
  8. That's sad I didn't realise he was UK based. I listened to a lot of his work as MD and arranger for Van Morrison.
  9. Souffle Continu reissue
  10. Lindy Morrison Sir Ivan George Morrison The Lizard King
  11. That's really interesting. I never realised that Szabo worked with Womack and would never have guessed it. And that 'Breezin' was the result.

    Matana Roberts

    Here's some news about Matana https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/International-Contemporary-Ensemble-Announces-New-Ensemble-Members-20210923
  13. Irreversible Entanglements - Who Sent You? [International Anthem, 2020] and before Ben Lamar Gay - Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun [International Anthem, 2018]
  14. I can vividly remember hearing it for the first time, driving in a mate's car to the Jazz Café. My introduction to Mwandishi band for which I am ever grateful to him
  15. Jackie McLean - Jacknife [Blue Note, 1975] thanks to @felserfor the reminder. Marvellous music
  16. One I forget about and shouldn't, thanks for the reminder
  17. That has a fair deal to live up to given the hype and expectation created by 'Normal People'. I'm waiting for the paperback One that doesn't quite live up to the hype in my opinion but before that I read one that most definitely does Beautifully written Between those two I read this which was a stimulating read
  18. Chico Hamilton Quintet - South Pacific in Hi-Fi [Vogue UK, 1958 mono] I like all Chico's albums in the 50s (and beyond) but this strikes me as the weakest. Perhaps the source material or concept gets in the way
  19. I have a good number of CD/LP duplication. I also duplicate favourite LPs of which I have original pressings, when good reissues appear e.g. 'Astral Weeks', Marc Levin's 'Songs Dances and Prayers' and soon Jeanne Lee's 'Conspiracy' I have three different LP versions of 'Unity' and a CD. Same with 'Black Fire'. This is just upgrading and not selling on. Which goes some way to explain why I have someone coming to quote for building more shelving...
  20. Peter Brotzmann - For Adolphe Sax [FMP]
  21. Interesting read
  22. John Coltrane - Live At The Village Vanguard Again! [Impulse, 1966 mono] Love this. Also, fine Jazz socks from JG
  23. Didn't know about that. Listening to some of it now, sounds great, current prices less so
