Just got to track 3, Byard Lancaster 'Drummers Of Ibadan'. I need that in my life now! I feel a purchase coming on

First listen this morning and I agree it's a very strong statement but then I also thought that of the Morgan duos

That's a fascinating read, thanks for posting. Only in the last few months have I really become aware of and listened to JuJu and very much regretted not doing so sooner. I tend to the freer end of things so the shift to Oneness of Juju hasn't quite lit the same fire for me yet but I'll be revisiting. I'm searching out this compilation and given Strut's past efforts the news of their ongoing commitment to the catalogue can only be great news. As an aside, I vividly remember go-go arriving here in UK and finding it really exciting.

Got that too, not sure I agree

i rate "Tone Hunting" highly too. I find the presence of Mazur is quite often a very good indicator of quality

Thanks Clifford. I have my eye on a 'Chamberpot'

Yes, i read the first pressing was sold out already somewhere. Listening now, lovely job done.

Thanks. I'm a Fuchs fan so may start my search there

Mine arrived too, yet to partake but heartened by your reports. "Free Mrs Beckett"

Apart from the Stabbins which titles would you recommend? I see 'Chamberpot' around most often I think

That's a shame, I was assuming downloads were available like other No Business releases. Space constraints dictate dl over Cd increasingly.

What I love about downloads is you can discover something and be playing it within minutes. This is so good, just purchased the live follow-up

Also a couple of great recordings on 482 Music from a few years back, particularly the duo with Mike Reed (who seems to have gone very quiet of late)

And in Europe, Rogue Art have done Mr Mitchell proud in recent years

It's download only (cue outrage and gnashing of teeth) https://markhelias.bandcamp.com/album/pillars-columns but if you want it, you want it...

I always had trust in the maligned Mrs B

Restrained today, just Matt Moran - Return Trip Laurence Pike - Destiny EP Harry Beckett - Joy Unlimited

My needle will drop on a needle drop, all sounds a bit Escher to me

Thanks for the detailed review. It is still available through Amazon it seems. I came across the Cadillac 'Joy Unlimited' reissue whilst looking for the book and ordered the LP

Yes, thank you. I'd not heard it for a while (I'd forgotten it is cut at 45rpm which led to a moment's confusion). Marsh really standing out on this listen (at correct speed)

Mitchell, Marsh, Edwards - Improvisations [OtoRoku]

Scanner - Warp & Weft

Interesting, how is it?

Bandcamp day strikes again Purchased the day of release. At the time it had trouble standing up to Swoon which I still prefer

Indeed but not quite post-Snurdy as requested though
