  1. It's a very nice pressing too. Other Treaders have been reissued on vinyl too. Evan P 'with Birds' and a Tchicai. Treader seems to issue in fits and starts, presumably when John Coxon fancies a project
  2. Nice that a post-lockdown shop had it readily in stock and just waiting for you. I've not done a physical shop yet, I need to see if Honest Jons are open, also a couple of shops I happened upon online in Hackney (aren't they all nowadays).
  3. Another loss, such a shame. The BNs definitely work for me. I first really noticed him on 'Unit Structures'
  4. Vol.7, loved it, bought copies as gifts for two friends and left it too long to get myself one. One day.
  5. My thoughts almost exactly. It's almost a Impulse Greatest Hits. I wondered whether the Woods, Klemmer and perhaps even the White are the 'obscure' hooks for those sitting on the "I've got all this already" fence. Mind you, I don't think we or our ilk are the real market here. This will shift to people discovering Jazz and wanting to dive into a renowned label and all power to their elbow for doing so and to Jazzman for providing the opportunity to them.
  6. I know a few folk here follow this series. Here's the latest https://spiritualjazz.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-jazz-12-impulse
  7. Absolute masterpiece meanwhile, something very different Alva Noto - Xerrox 4
  8. Elvin Jones, Bobby Hutcherson, Hank Mobley and Andrew Hill all on Spotify in the UK. In addition to the above 'Capitol Jazz Vault' on Tidal for Bobby Hackett, Joe Pass, Don Pullen, Paul Chambers, Bob Brookmeyer, Bennie Green, John Patton, Dizzy Reece, Dexter Gordon, Krupa/Harry James
  9. Not nearly as tiresome as still having days where 150+ people are dying in this country
  10. Glad to hear it's good, it's on my list for the next Bandcamp day The one I can't stop listening to and being continually intrigued by is Corey Smythe's Accelerate Every Voice https://corysmythepyroclastic.bandcamp.com/album/accelerate-every-voice Enjoyed this, thanks for posting
  11. He's nothing of the sort. A survivor due to the excellent care of the NHS that his party has spent years undermining. A narcissist of the first degree and a lying racist with it. None of that's political just a matter of record.
  12. 'Dansere' is a great album from a great band, all of their recordings are right up there. I agree with everyone's high regard for 'Karuna Supreme'.
  13. Well it may be an unfounded fear but I can see a scenario where conversations starting there will obviously be followed there and a parallel discussion group would emerge. The board has shown a marked decline in members and traffic in the last few years (an impression, not based on any data) and anything that could potentially lead to fewer interactions here will also potentially undermine viability eventually. Again, I stress if it's what individuals wish to do then so be it I have no argument with it in principle just fear for the ramifications here, that's all.
  14. Not for me. I choose to go nowhere near Facebook. As much as I enjoy this board I can live with the very occasional drop outs - worse things happen. But if other folk wish to I can't honestly how or why it could be stopped. I do fear it would be the start of a slippery slope.
  15. As someone who often finds myself considering US purchases from Discogs this is interesting as $25 is fairly standard ask US to UK so I'd assumed it as a fairly accurate representation of cost rather than inflated to deter. Mind you with that cost to Canada it's got to be close to actual cost surely? It works as a deterrent for me definitely, it's got to be a particularly desirable item to consider paying that on postage, especially as there's a good chance of getting hit for customs at 20% of value+postage total. I always mean to check the actual postage cost on the item when it arrives but never remember.
  16. I agree, that was a great band, all of their albums are worth listening to in depth meanwhile... Rashied Ali Quintet - First Time Out, Live at Slugs 1967 [Survival Records]
  17. Let's not forget his essential contribution to Gruppo Di Improvvizone Nuova
  18. Yeah, that was a surprise to me too
  19. That's really interesting to see, thank you
  20. That was a very special night indeed. I forgotten about Jean Carn which is odd because at the time her untrailled [?] appearance was a bit of a cherry on top of everything else. What a band
  21. I had forgotten about that Okazaki thanks for the reminder. Fwiw I rate both the Reed And Paul albums, nice buys
  22. Here we are again. Today's haul Liberty Ellman - Water Walkers Ill Considered - 9 Lauren Kinsella - Kinsella/Challenger/Davis Feldman - piano violin viola cello (Apartment House) Amurtha Kidambi & Lea Bertucci - End of Softness Aisha Orazbayeva - Music for violin alone
  23. This is my take too. Always sounds the same whenever it arrives, I've found. Some waiting only heightens the anticipation or I forget about it completely and end up with a nice surprise. If I want it immediately I'll stream or Bandcamp. So many more options these days. And Bandcamp as well, can even own it then if that's your itch that needs a scratch.
  24. James Ellroy - This Storm
