I wasn't too convinced by the line-ups on the Watts disc. I will interested to hear what you make of it.

Yes that piqued my interest this morning. Looks like a fasciminating set. I'm pleased about the solo disc as I've not heard his other solo disc

Matthew Halsall - Salute To The Sun [Gondwana]

Only just snagged it, prompted by a thread elsewhere on the board a few weeks ago

John Coltrane Quartet - Creation [Blue Parrott] a new favourite

Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger - Force Majeure [International Anthem] perfect Sunday afternoon listening

Posting this for Steve Reynolds and anyone else who enjoys Dunmall

Billy Harper - Trying To Make Heaven My Home [MPS, Spain] today's arrival. Now I just need to improve my Spanish so i can understand the liners...

No, I've not. Thanks for the tip

Genius footballer. The second goal against England in that quarter-final is sublime football and for me eclipses all the fuss about the first goal. Asif Kapadia's film 'Maradona' is a fascinating watch giving some insight into the off-pitch Diego Just to add, I didn't think that at the time, I was apoplectic with rage. Hindsight's a marvellous thing

especially 'In A Sentimental Mood' and particularly Elvin's drumming on that tune Han Bennink & Willem Breuker - New Acoustic Swing Duo in Japan 1984 [Jazz & Now]

Always interested in hearing new to me Bobby H

I don't have that one. Good? Of course it is

Never time not to listen to 'Ballads'

I've recently been drinking the only Trappist ale brewed in the UK, Tynt Meadow. Brewed at the monastery where my uncle spent his life as a monk.

The Evan Parker solo on the first track knocks me out each time. I'd not thought about the trombone/vibes on this one

Watching this now. I'm very taken by Baba Zulu, the trio with the electric Saz. I'd heard one of their albums recently and live they're even better. Can't believe they played Café Oto last year - not really a surprise as it's located in an area of significant Turkish population.

That looks very interesting. I have a good number of earlier Hampels and was trying to think if there were any with trombone but failed to come up with any

Oh yes!

Yes, that's good 'un Thanks for the reminder of that one, needs to come off the shelf

Thanks all, 'Blue Moods' I know but the other suggestions have gone straight on to the 'investigate' list keep them coming.

So I'm listening to Teddy Charles's 'New Directions' which has some great interaction between Charles and Brookmeyer. Grachan Moncur's work with Bobby Hutcherson on 'Evolution' and the Jackie McLean albums are some of of my all time favourites and features the same instrumental combination. Any other suggestions? Preferably recordings of small groups not larger ensembles where the two instruments aren't so prominent.

I need some sunshine, I must catch up with it

I use Plex, my files sit on my hard drive. I haven't synced to other devices though as I use Tidal or Spotify when I'm out and about
