That picture made me laugh more than it should have done. I've always thought India Navigation was a tasty label but not quite in those terms. She has good taste!
That's going to sound great, I'm sure and within no time you'll have forgotten the cost as you wallow in the SQ
Did it come with toddler adaptations so they can play with it when Dad's not about?
Emailed Mr Bongo who I placed my order with. Not holding my breath that all European preorders will be honoured if there's been a high US demand.
We'll see.
I've just listened to 'Free An' One'.
What a great listen, great remastering. Punchy music that swings like a good 'un. Peter King is tremendous on this, as they all are really.
I'm no Tracey expert and in fact will be using this series to rectify my lamentable ignorance of anything other than 'Under Milk Wood' and the duets with Tippett and Surman. Other frequenters of this thread will know a lot more and have greater insight I'm sure but...
'Wisdom In The Wings' is out here already and highly recommended as an opportunity to hear his quartet and big band work. I sampled 'Hong Kong Suite' on Spotify and was knocked out by it. I think my next purchase will be 'From Stan with Love' as I've wanted the Ellington tribute for a while.

a stroll down memory lane inspired by a fantastic 'with strings' broadcast by BBC yesterday.
He has written some great (and a fair few less great) songs. Always preferred his soul man musical persona over the guitar rock-god one. He certainly deserves his position in the UK pantheon
