Sorry to hear how you were dealt with John. It happened to me out if the blue three years ago but I was a bit too young to be able to turn redundancy into retirement. Do give yourself some time to absorb the shock whilst sorting out the practicalities. Given how you describe your situation there seems no rush to find your next path. Here's wishing you a long and fruitful 'retirement', whatever that looks like.

Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet - Blue Beginnings [Jazz In Britain, 2021] Another decent release from Jazz In Britain

Indeed. The Fo'tet albums are all worth it, I think

I'm on this one now, great stuff

Hopefully Clark will get round to reissuing that one and now

Yeah, I was disappointed by that. Enjoy your visit and reconnecting to the live experience

Looks very good. I'm off to check if the venue's doing livestreams of them

Two good ones there. I remember buying the Shadow Vignettes after someone posted it here. Not the first purchase nor the last inspired by this board Now that's a great album At this point either Hutchfan, I think, or I usually mention how this feels like a Hill album

I listened to some of Birigwa off the back this thread. Interesting but not enough

Looks good to me

Europe by Christmas then...

Teddy's West Coasters - Volume 2 Finnish west coast sounds a lot like US's

Jorja Smith - Be Right Back

Mine's arrived, looks fascinating as I'd hoped

Beautiful album Joni Mitchell - Mingus

I'm listening to it now. Perfect for a sunny Saturday afternoon.

That's a great trio of LPs

Thanks Alex, that's where I'll start. Edit to add: just purchased the recording of the gig I attended

I was at one and my mind was blown too. Absolutely astonishing. I've been waiting for a Zim release since, bit disappointed it's Blu-ray but will probably buy download. I see that those nights are on this recording but I can't work out which they are from the BC page. When I do I'll buy them as each 'disc' is available separately
