She threw a strop in London on that tour and refused to come to the venue for two plus hours. I gave up, went home, she then decided to perform. Love her music, seen her quite a few times live and she's always delivered, apart from that once. Ronnie Scott's gig I thought I'd gone to heaven. I think there were posts somewhere a couple of months ago about her Q proclivities. Such a shame.

Bet it's vinyl only...

But they have announced a download option. Great to see Mosaic moving with the times...

Sun Rooms are a great band

I love the idea of all those Spotify listeners being introduced to Pharoah. I hear the piano motif is similar but it wasn't enough to make me think of Feldman, not sure it will be from now on either.

The Lone Ranger Tonto Toto

Which is a great outcome for both parties concerned. Nice one.

Listening to 'Oversoul...' now. It's certainly an interesting departure and holds my attention, intriguing.

Not necessarily. Not everyone's motivated by making as much money as they can. Maybe circumstances dictated a quick sale was preferable.

Michael Jackson Jermaine Jackson Tito Jackson (Jackie Jackson) ...(and Marlon)

I don't hear the Feldman connection

Anyone listened to 'The Oversoul Manual' written for voices only. I was quite taken by it initially but haven't returned to it. Count me as a fan of the cover artwork on his albums too

I read an interesting reference to Harold Budd's 'Pavilion Of Dreams" as a possible precursor to this collaboration. Just listening to that now, not having done so for a while and I can hear the similarities, although Brown is a bit more foregrounded on it than Pharaoh is on 'Promises'. I had forgotten how good the Budd is. Again, not Jazz.

The Irish Rover Lassie Dame Shirley Bassey

Sid & Nancy El Cid Cyd Charisse

It's not Jazz and anyone judging it on that criterion is missing the point, I think.

Wolfe Tone Howlin' Wolf Chester Himes

That description of Shades Of Black intrigues. Presumably that's one of the unrecorded projects?

I love it. I am a fan of Floating Points but a bigger fan of Pharoah

I had the AZ and suffered a slight fever then a few days fatigue (I have an underlying contributory condition) and no more than that. Of the twenty or so people I know have had it one other experienced similar after effects, the others nothing if note. Both my parents in their 80s also have had it with no Ill effects. It's gone into so many arms in the UK that I think any serious issues would have been flagged up by now.

He's still playing, I received a notification of a live stream recently. @Steve Reynolds may know more as I remember him being a fan. Sorry if I have that wrong Steve.

Little Anthony Big Joe Turner . Tiny Grimes

I love 'The Sermon'. Once the leader dates are sorted...

Gretchen Parlato Joe Lovano Pat Martino

Thanks everyone, interesting and useful observations. I'm erring towards the Tone Poet plus option at the moment but not wholly sold on that option. I'm more interested in getting the leader dates at this juncture and have CDs of 'Street Singer' and 'Jackie's Bag'.
