Not until my 2LPs have at least arrived! Would love the Elvin Mosaic Looks like they have restocked too. Don't remember LRG being there on my last visit

All by 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, impressive! Nice selection. 'Black Palladins' is such a great album. Honest Jons? Yesterday...all online Elvin Jones - Live At The Lighthouse. LP, been meaning to buy this for ages. Yesterday was the day. Emma Jane Thackeray - Um Yang. 12" EP, enjoyed her previous releases and this sounded great on the radio Hozan Yamamoto - Ginkai. One of my favourite albums ever. CD to back up my LP and to hear if it works any better as one 'suite'

Interesting, I like a lot of that, just sometimes it sounds affected where the technique gets in the way and becomes too prominent rather than serving the musical idea and flow (something I've always heard in Peter Evans too, too clever by half. less is often more Peter) I'll be investigating this recording more. Thanks I rather suspect this won't change anyone's mind, whichever side of the fence they're standing. But I like it.

So was I. First time I'd done so for a couple of years. I always spot the bass solo not only because of it's musicality but also because my LP gets a bit crackly at that point and I always think I need to upgrade. Another great loss, as evidenced not least by felser's list up thread

Both look very tasty from here, Cheers!

Thanks for reposting this. An ideal soundtrack to the thread

OK, so now I"m giving 'On the tender spot....' that further listen. The first track is very strong indeed, the shift from improv to Latin is great. Second track sounding good too, dense, lots to absorb. Looking forward to listening to the rest now. This is reminding me why I rated the early albums.

I may just have to accept the inevitable...

Oh, come on Steve, I share your enthusiasm for all those and own plenty of albums by them but also like Akinmusire too and have four of his/albums. Not necessarily a case of either/or for me. There's a buzz because he is a talented musician, no one on this thread has questioned that. We're just discussing the progression or otherwise of his recording career to date. Whales swimming in shoals , lovely description. But I do read the Guardian music pages (lees than I used to), am I a "cool aunt"?

Same opinion. I really liked the FSNT and earlier BN releases. I admired rather than liked 'Origami Harvest'. The double live left me bewildered as I saw the band about the time of the recording and thought they were red hot but it didn't transfer onto that release to my ears. I haven't given 'On the tender spot...' enough time yet but first impressions didn't grab. There's enough to keep me coming back but returns do seem to be diminishing. Maybe the next one...

I think Sir Geoffrey might have something to say about that.... As may Messrs Hockney and Bennett and Barbara Hepworth but we'll forgive such hyperbole given the sad circumstances

That's a sweet sound indeed

Noted, thanks. Checking Discogs now!

Congratulations! How many albums is that? All you have to do next is listen to them all, in chronological order of course

Some of my favourite Peacock on this album

Oh no, what a contribution across so many years.

Thanks for posting. An interesting read and equally interesting to see reactions to it above. There's an informed response to the article by Steve Lehman on Twitter. He highlights the work of Jackie McLean at Hartford as a precursor to what some in the article are asking to happen.

And Kingbee Records is a great little shop

Glad to hear another's being played. I certainly noticed the bass being high in the mix.

£1.50 for them, they're not Free Jazz

in which case both of you are happy with what you have. A good outcome all round. Let the format wars cease here I find it quite odd that increasingly on this board someone says how pleased they are with the format they are listening to, and have just invested in, only for someone to poor cold water on their enjoyment by questioning how could they be hearing what they say the are hearing because of the format they have chosen to listen to. Let's just respect eachother's different choices for accessing great music without having to always question, shall we?. Just a suggestion.

Thank you, that is a really helpful explanation. It gives me information to work from.

Your certainly close to answering or at the very least giving interesting context I'm not up on the tech side in the slightest and get quite confused by the language sometimes. I was very happy with an arrangement that evolved built around the Chromecast which seems an ideal method of laptop to amplifier connection. But this is now the restricting factor as it requires the cast function in the player. When at home and streaming from your local drive are you doing so to an amplifier? If so how? I have thought about Google Drive as the cloud storage. Something to investigate more. I thought VLC would be the answer as their mobile app is just the sort of interface I was looking for and had used as my player on my Android for some timebut when downloaded onto a laptop it was very different and quite restricted. I need to look again as I can't quite believe there should be the difference.
