Ezra Pound Ezra Collective Joe Armon Jones

A couple contemporary examples Irreversible Entanglements - s/t Jaimie Branch - Fly Or Die And the one, Van Morrison - Astral Weeks. Anyone who doesn't consider it a Jazz album doesn't rate Richard Davis's central contribution. That's a hill I'll die on.

I think that's one of the best UK series in the last few years. Beautifully written and acted.

I don't have a fetish for vinyl just for music and I don't have a DVD player so this LP is the only way for me to enjoy the music. And enjoy it I do. I can't get over how agitated people get on this board because some of us make particular choices of formats on which to enjoy music. If you don't enjoy listening on LP that's fine by me but leave those of us that do to enjoy doing so.

Mine's in the post, can't wait. I was at the gig.

He's someone I know I need to investigate more. I know 'Slaves Mass' but need to know others. thanks for this mini primer HutchFan. i want a copy of the one you've just bought if only for the cover Just got me a copy. Sampled it on YouTube and had to follow your lead @HutchFan

Venus Williams Pluto the dog Keith Moon

Absolutely, she can sing them too. That's a total gem. I was lucky to see her play it live a few years ago. Music heaven.

Thomas Crapper Bogshed (the band, who I haven't thought about for 30+ years, thankfully) Jacob Rees-Mogg

Cool Ruler! Such a great songwriter - tender, angry, often in the same song. sadly missed.

Shorty Rogers Long John Baldry Hairy McLary

+1

Yes, that's on my list too

First listen and I think it's very good. I've a heap of Wooley albums but haven't bought anything for a few years so took a punt on this as a pre-order. Sounds quite composed to me, it's probably not, and errs on the 'not a lot' end of the 'does it swing?' spectrum Seriously, it's serious music played very well by some very good musicians. If you've an ear for Wooley then you'll enjoy it. It wears all the intellectualising in the notes and on FJB lightly I'd say

Madonna Donna Summer June Christy

Slipper Of The Yard Peter Bowler Nora Batty

Friar Tuck Thelonious Monk Elvin Bishop

Thanks. Giving it another spin and I agree with you on the most successful collaborations. Salif Keita could sing a shopping list and I'd enjoy it!

How are you finding that? I sampled a few tracks and wasn't too convinced by some of the collaborations Edit to add: decided to listen to it and can see that I fell for the danger of random sampling. Still not sure about the Camille track at all

Dick Emery Jimmy Nail MC Hammer

Joe South Kanye West Sheena Easton

Barry Galbraith - Guitar And The Wind [Decca, Japan] First listen to this, sounding good.

The new tendency to alphabetise by first name rather than surname.
