Yep, my parents have both had their second dose postponed. I work with older people and I only know a handful who have had the two doses within the timescale recommended by the developers. Having said that, I do agree that the government made the correct call (for the first time in this whole pandemic) to get as many first doses into as many arms as possible and not because it meant I got mine. When I booked my first dose, after contact from my GP, there was no option to book the second. The same for my partner. I was told at the centre that administered my first dose that my GP would be in touch about the second dose. I think the latest 'band' of beneficiaries are experiencing a different booking system to earlier bands who were largely called into their appointment by GPs. The 50+ group seem to have a more open self-booking system made available to them. Although I suspect there's considerable local variation. No matter what, it's been a very impressive effort (and no coincidence that no cronyism has been involved in the granting of contracts for the process)

Yep, he has done just that. It's very apparent he understands that music. And Pharoah is just so Pharoah, that gorgeous tone

My Harper arrived this week, unfortunately timed with my absence from my turntable for a fortnight. I'll just have to look at the lovely cover and imagine... Now in stock at Honest Jon's.

I hope you enjoy it. I'm a big fan of Floating Points and a bigger fan of Pharoah so it was either going to be a horrible disappointment or something rather special. I'm pleased I'm hearing the latter. I think Shepherd has composed something that shows his real understanding of the Pharaoh/Alice/Impulse legacy. I also think purists from both camps might not agree as it doesn't explore the outer realms of either genre but brings them together in the middle. Some will quite honestly see that as a musical compromise too far. I don't.

Floating Points & Pharaoh Sanders - Promises Genius

I love that album!

That's a good release

Completely agree about the Newton.

I'll be watching that tomorrow, looks interesting

I agree Pim. Happy to wait as it will sound the same whenever it arrives. It's not as if I don't have anything else to listen to...

Louis Moholo Len Cantello Joe Lovano

Lee Marvin Hank Marvin The Very Hungry Caterpillar

BBE usually do digital, definitely stream on Spotify etc

I like 'Cassandranite' well enough but Almarovid is absolutely wonderful. A different level from my perspective. And I've never heard it but will redeem myself asap on the back of that description

Hope you both come through it soon

Now, that is a special album by a special musician in my book. I saw her at Oto, duo with Mark Sanders. No more than 15 punters. Great concert.

Olu Dara Dara O'Briain Brian May

Thanks HutchFan possibly the thinnest vinyl in my collection, practically a flexi

It's a cracking album It's all in the title

Pinetop Perkins Perkin Warbeck Chrissie Hynde

I was playing Astro Black yesterday and really noticed the bass playing on that, Ronnie Boykins. I need to listen to more Sun Ra

Thanks folks. Autoplay took me to this today, so as long as the title is correct... Found it on Amazon, only $902.81, sadly not delivering to the UK

Laura Kuenssberg Bob Berg The Titanic

Calling all Sonny afficionados...is the audio from the 1965 concert on Jazz Icons DVD available legitimately as audio only? My Discogs and other searches haven't found anything
