A couple of weeks ago I had an LP arrive from US to UK in about 10 days

I'm still waiting for the Scott here in the UK. I did receive a notification that postage was delayed by a week or so, about a week ago

Yes, I was thinking more of protesters

A proportionate response, I'd hope. One that doesn't use one of the world's largest armies to resolve a non-military situation. Armies against unarmed citizens is rarely s good solution. My country's history is littered with examples that illustrate this. That's a very eloquent exposition, I wish your family and community safe John.

Maybe as an outsider to this I shouldn't be commenting and whilst absolutely agreeing with the "cooler heads" plea it strikes me that there's a vast disparity between the force currently being exercised by state forces, let alone their potential firepower, and "throwing rocks/bricks/water bottles/small explosives". The scenes I'm seeing are indistinguishable from those I watched from Hong Kong recently and that's got to mean something very worrying, surely

Watching it all with the safety of distance. Stay safe everyone. Worrying times.

He was

I had no idea that this existed until Gilles Peterson played it on his radio show yesterday. Knocked me out

yes to this. The American and European Quartets for me, sometimes one is my favourite sometimes the other, great musicianship in both. I also very much like this trio https://www.ecmrecords.com/shop/143038752916/hamburg-72-keith-jarrett-charlie-haden-paul-motian I can long a very long time without feeling the need to listen to any Jarrett mind you.

With you there. Number of times I've not bought an album of his for that reason

Sonny Greenwich

Look out for 'Clay' and 'Distant Thunder' by this group, the latter has Manfred Schoof added for extra impact, if that's possible.

Tempting but shipping costs to UK make it unlikely

Gilles Peterson has just announced the death of Jimmy Cobb. Wikipedia and some other online sources also showing the sad news.

Tragic and so unnecessary. The Care Home sector has been largely hung out to dry over here, horribly large numbers of deaths despite valiant efforts of underpaid and under-recognised staff. My mother has just come home from a 6 week stay in one where her care was tremendous.

I got notification that LP postage is delayed by a couple of weeks so I may weaken and stream

Allen,Haden,Motian - Segments [DIW] all gone now...

But if moving away from that 'tradition' of naming meant pain and distress for people could be avoided I can't really understand why someone wouldn't choose to. Plenty of things that have happened "for a long long time" don't happen now.

here you go... and yes, it's a great cover

Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy [Earthforms Records] I'm not sure it comes better than this

Owned all of them once. Sold on in harder times...shame. Hopefully someone's enjoying them.

Yes, the condition concerns me a bit. At some of those prices I'd be looking for a 100% seller feedback score on other sites. It's not as if they'll take a return if their grading is off either. Anyone out there know how well Mr.McRae looked after his collection? As for the pricing, looks a lot like they've done a trawl of Discogs certainly for the items I'd be interested in - not overly outrageous but pitched the reserve at the top end of the Discogs scale I'd say.

I could spend a LOT of money on 6th June... Those Aylers...amongst many others Some of the bundles are bizarre. And some seem to have been designed purely to prevent me buying the one in the bundle I don't have...

Andrew Cyrille & Maono - Junction [IPS] Lisle Atkinson! Andrew Cyrille & Maono - Celebration [IPS] and maybe the Black Saint next
