I had forgotten about her. I was knocked out by one of her novels back in the 80s but I can't remember which it was. I should reacquaint myself.

Interesting line-up

Yep. Others are 'I Talk With The Spirits',. 'Rip, Rig And Panic' and 'Slightly Latin'

Disc 5, 'For Bunita Marcus'

Donald Tusk Elon Musk George Smelly

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. The production values on the reissue I purchased are high, musically and presentation.

Duet 8 w. Erica Dicker

Jabba The Hutt JB Hutto Shakatak

LP 4. 'Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith'

11.30 for a great version of "The Creator Has a Master Plan"

Kieran Trippier Reese James Ben Chilwell

A yeast extract spread that is traditionally seen to have either lovers or haters, no fence sitting with Marmite

I was being dim, apologies. RLJ has a knack for interesting covers (Bad Company on her new album!). On this album she is assisted by some interesting names. It doesn't necessarily make it any more Jazz than her other albums. I suspect she's a marmite artist. I'm a big fan.

"Folk styles" on her debut album?! Not on my copy

Sorry, being dim, what is what? Agree about Pat Thomas getting more attention. That solo album is special.

Rickie Lee Jones - Pop Pop [Geffen, 1991] featuring Dino Saluzzi, Charlie Haden, Joe Henderson ao. Always loved this album, paid £8.29 back in 1991 according to the till receipt Preceded by Girl At Her Volcano [Warner Bros., 1983]

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

Pat Thomas - The Elephant Clock Of Al Jazari [Otoroku, 2017]

Matana Roberts & Pat Thomas - The Truth [OtoRoku, 2020]

The cover photo may have been a clue...

Paul Weller - Live at The Barbican. Songs arranged by Jules Buckley for the BBC Symphony Orchestra. This really hits the spot. Buckley's arrangements suit Weller's songs and voice perfectly.

That's great, been listening to his music today and hoping he'll be well again soon

Trigger pulled

Mine had a fault, replacement on the way Two very different but very good albums there
