Well that really is enlightened and brave too. On 'Yi Yole' now

What an enlightened family This one with Tchicai

Rick Deckard Johnny Diamond Sam Spade

I was a bit underwhelmed by that and have filed it. Maybe I should revisit. I love their one with Tchicai

Cunning plan saving the toilets. Always good to have some room for expansion. I've yet to move into the basement. Too damp.

My 'man cave' is my entire flat. One advantage of living alone. The collection sprawls through most of the rooms which isn't difficult in a small London flat. My partner, a regular visitor of course, can't abide Jazz so the non-Jazz section and Spotify gets well-used too

I assumed it's just the covers up there?

I'll keep my eye out for it again then

Teddy Charles - 3 For Duke [Jubilee]

And there I was planning a raid on the original Pure Pleasure surely will at some point Aha! I did wonder as I had that Howard in my hand last month and put it back because the price was too steep. Is it any good?

Nice display. No sleeves on my walls. Too many art prints and exhibition posters so no room. I see you have a copy of Mtume Umoja Ensemble! Also, what's first on the second row, can't make it out when I magnify

Shame is it may also be the hill that medically vulnerable people, who are vaccinated, also die on due to the selfishness of others

Jef Gilson - A Gaveau [Sam Records, 2020] thanks to sidewinder for the nudge

Ron Wood Sharon Stone Roger Waters

Itaru Oki - しらさぎ {Nadja, 1974]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Felser is a man of great taste. And as someone who has had the pleasure of buying LPs from him previously I can assure anyone wondering that he also looks after his LPs. Happy buying folks!

Listening now. Yes, dated it certainly is. Ouch! on some tracks I think most of the trumpet still works in that post-Miles, Nordic cool way (although Henriksen has always been better and more original at that to my ears) and I like Aarset's guitar treatments It's the rhythm parts that really let it down in places especially when they pick the tempos up, when they "rock out" or use dance rhythms. In that way it is the crossovers that fail. It's interesting to compare my reaction to this to recently listening to Miles's 'Live At Vienne' which didn't sound dated as much as of its time and I thought was mostly a very good listen. It was the template for a lot of what Molvaer is doing 6 years later. And I do remember how fresh and interesting it all sounded last century, even without the dreads...thanks @Rabshakeh for taking me back to a great gig but also for making me feel old

Loved that when it came out. Saw him perform it at the Jazz Cafe I think. Haven't listened to it in 15 years at least

They did the same about ten years ago and followed it with Prestige designs. Snaffled a couple. I like the 'Unit structures' from this run

Even better if you were there...

How about on the same day. Possibly my top two. Do your dreams ever come true?

If ever an album deserved a good reissue, there you have it. One day, hopefully

Early 90s for me and I know exactly what you mean hence the very occasional not-meatballs and spaghetti 🍝 (emoji added only because I had no idea one such exists!). In my carnivore days I used to love cooking clams and linguine, would have loved your Mum's recipe I'm sure Big fan of chickpeas and cashews here too. Broad beans instead of endame only because I love them so much.

Honest Jon's still have the LP and at £65 at the most reasonable price I have seen but my streaming listens have promoted a purchase yet

I'm a longstanding vegetarian who doesn't really deal in meat substitutes (except for the very occasional 'meatball'). I can honestly say I don't miss the taste of meat one iota so don't really bother. Gorgonzola and artichoke for my pizza today, if I were having one. More seriously, it's good that meat substitute exists and is gaining some traction. This poor planet needs s lot less meat eaten that's for sure.
