I have the French one sitting here too. It's a good job it's a long weekend

This again. The medley on side C is particularly special

Same here. A real "buy with confidence" artist

Tasty. Is it as good as I suspect it is?

Grant Green - Slick! Live at Oil Can Harry's [Resonance] my first dive in. I like the very present sound that puts you in the front seats

Really enjoyed listening to this, thanks. I need to read the rest of the thread now

Definitely Jazz. No discernible Folk and I suspect the World comes from the use of steel pans (which work really well). It's a cracking album. Any fan of Harris or Pullen is going to like it I suspect. Plenty of it on YouTube to sample

Looks like Keith Tippet could do with some assistance from the community of his fans and music lovers https://www.dgmlive.com/news/Help%20Keith%20Tippett https://www.thewire.co.uk/news/50855/keith-tippett-fund-set-up

Beaver Harris - Don Pullen 360 Degree Experience - Well Kept Secret [Shemp]

There's a new Five Blokes just released on Ogun, adding Shabaka Hutchings to the quartet

Late to the party but I've just ordered both (without having to queue ) in no small part to the enthusiasm expressed above and the rather slick but informative YouTube film that promotes them so looking forward to GG fest in the coming days,perhaps even in time for the long weekend

Yes, Happy Birthday Alex. Glad to hear the Oto residency went so well

A man of such impeccable musical taste as well, such a shame...we all have our crosses to bear too many years living and working in N5 and N7 I'm afraid

Hozan Yamamoto + Karl Hans Berger - Again And Again [Victor, Japan] Two of my favourite musicians in a quartet setting. Never quite reaches the heights I always hope for - a little safe, perhaps

I predict it'll not be 0-0 and penalties! I also really hope Klopp can pull off the surprise. It would be great to have a different team win again, especially one with the history and pedigree of Liverpool. However, all football sense points to Real not least because of Liverpool's inability to defend. Come on you Reds!

Let's hope he completes it. It's a testament to him that he's doing so at the age of 94. It'll be either very long or less detailed to go from where he left off to Picasso's death. Maybe he'll just cover the next decade or so

Listening now. Joyous I do have qualms about Spotify's business model but when I surprisingly find gems like this I am pleased I have an account

The Richardsons are very good but very detailed. I wonder whether we'll get another volume

Happy Birthday!

Pat Martino - El Hombre [Prestige]

That looks intriguing

Charles Tyler Ensemble - s/t [ESP] an album well worthy of an oversized image He's still about and performing but not recording, sadly. Soundtrack to my university years, too long ago to mention now

Nice album but what's that cover all about? Pizza anyone...

Me too. A couple of Joe McPhee CvD reissues were needle drops of not the best quality

that's a great album
