I watched that stream and it was red hot. A great tribute to the unstinting work of Gary Crosby and his Tomorrow's Warriors project. He's responsible for so many of the current crop learning their craft. It's been, and still is, an exciting few years as a Jazz fan in the UK and specifically London. What I particularly like is how many of this generation have looked to the musical heritage of their parents and grandparents. In a way that London music has always been infused with the musics of its immigrant populations this lot have done so with Jazz to great effect. There have been rumblings from the "Jazz Police" that some of it isn't Jazzy enough or is too popular. As far as I'm concerned they're are just missing the point. And finally, The Blue Moment is a great source of fine music writing across a number of genres

I'm a big Lloyd fan and usually pick up new releases. I think this is intriguing and can't wait to hear it.

Sorry that was probably my fault for posting the same thing in both threads. Although it was relevant to both Just adds to sense of confusion and despair!

I'm also confused and it happened to me! I suspect that duties were chargeable on entry but that the package slipped through. There's always been that "will it, won't it" jeopardy to ordering from outside the EU and I suspect the same will now happen from within.

No, just list price and shipping They deducted it from the list price at Checkout. It was only one CD so maybe it flew in under several radars

My Jazz Messengers order just arrived within 4 days. There is hope

Jazz Messengers order arrived in 4 days!

You may just have sorted this evening's viewing, thanks for alerting me to its presence on Prime

One of my saved Ebay sellers in Italy has already added a "+20% VAT" to all their auction listings, I'm assuming for the "benefit" of UK buyers

Great album. If it had been a BN it would be so much better known.

Another nice issue from Oto https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/somegoodnews/ You will need to like your vocals improvised but then I think Elaine Mitchener can do little wrong

They are releasing albums by younger Jazz musicians that aren't neo-soul/Jazz fusion. Joel Ross and Immanuel Wilkins are two examples. So they're releasing new albums by elder statesmen, new albums by up and coming players and branching out into genres with a connection to Jazz that are popular with a wider market. This alongside mining their back catalogue to meet a new demand in format and demographic. Given the current market for music I'm not sure what else they should be doing.

O-board in the 21st century...

I only have one playlist which isn't Jazz, Beatrice Dillon. Usually just play complete albums.

I may just take this as my guide on buying these reissues. I don't have any apart from The Awakening which was purchased on your recommendation (and I love it). Follow a man of taste, can't go wrong!

Great stuff. Two are 'must buy' for me. The ICP releases particularly interesting. Nice to see Vario get some exposure. I have the Bead on LP

I like 'Lanquidity' a lot, possibly that much. Thanks for posting

And Rooooooottttt back in form too! Not sure about German cricket but The Dutch cricket team has been competitive in the past in shorter forms of the great game. Bert Trautmann, the man who played an FA Cup final with a fractured neck. His mystique passed down the generations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/23372473

But at least orders still outstanding prior to the debacle are exempt - desperately seeking silver linings. I have one. Yes! But against a very poor Sri Lanka side. A win's a win though even in the context of national suicide

The key quote I think is this "a small exception for the frailest patients.” The Guardian reported these deaths as being amongst the very oldest. I'll try and find the reference. I know it was of great worry to my friend whose mother is 106. She is doing fine after her vaccination. Reputable source here highlights frailty and terminal illness as key risk factors https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n167 Hope you're feeling better?

I didn't want to spoil my Sunday. I'll read it and weep tomorrow
