Looking forward to getting this after sampling online. Sounds like a good one.

The Tubby Hayes Orchestra - Tubbs' Tours [Fontana] from 'The Fontana Albums' box set. I don't have an original to make a comparison but the sound on this is just fabulous.

Thanks Brad. I nearly wrote in my first response the words "Falange" and "forest" but wasn't sure it was that one. It was. Different cover in the UK didn't help. I do remember it being a good read. Hope you enjoy the rest of it

I remember being very taken with that one but can't remember much detail.

Glad it was good. I really like the new album. I think I noticed they're approaching a tenth anniversary which seems incredible Meanwhile... Kuzu - Purple Dark Opal now that is a fine noise indeed ( and I don't usually care much for full on guitar)

They've almost taken the roof off the couple of times I've seen them. There's a good new recording to purchase too.

Were they only allowed to choose US artists? and the other two for me

Honest Jon's could go for it. Fits their profile

I was afraid that's what you'd say. They're both sitting in my bandcamp cart awaiting a moment of weakness

I nearly fell for that boot, glad I didn't. Now I'm wondering whether I really need all the added material on the legit reissue

Tribe - Hometown: Detroit Sessions 1990-2014 [Strut]

Horace Tapscott - Live at Lobero [Pure Pleasure/Nimbus]

Having seen Leandre several times I'm not sure I've ever witnessed anything 'clownish' other than her tendency not to approach improvisation in a po-faced, overly precious manner.

London will do just fine They were great at LJF a few years ago

I listened to the two tracks of Slugs today and whilst the music sounds good I'm not sure about the SQ. My enthusiasm has dimmed a little now

I thought the postage wasn't too outrageous at £15 for the pair but there's still the possible customs fees to factor in. I like what I hear. I can't see there being distribution outside US.

making me think of Braxton (unsurprisingly), George Lewis and Bill Dixon. Not a bad set of references. Interesting stuff. There's a volume 2 too

You do! It's as good as you think it is. Note the "45 tours" which I didn't spot before ordering.

Francois Tusques & Sunny Murray - Intercommunal Dialogue 1+2 [Ni Vu Ni Connu]

Good experiences with Ella for me too. I'm not sure I have bought from madpierrot but do recognise the name. I do find buying Japanese used vinyl a bit of a lottery though. I've had a number of examples of visually perfect LPs having significant background noise. I wonder whether it has something to do with the humidity which can also play havoc with the covers.

Turn the Tubby up and celebrate!! Happy Birthday CA

Would love to see those musicians, and some other Chicagoans (native and assimilated), in the UK. When my lottery numbers come in I fully intend to pay for Cafe Oto to put on a Chicago evening. Until then, I dream and read reports like this

It never takes much time for the hoary old "vinyl good v vinyl bad" debate to raise it's head does it I regret selling my copy of "Live Bullet" and giving away "Back in 72", both by Bob Seger...for almost entirely sentimental reasons

Bandcamp has the function to give download albums/tracks as gifts. Things move on but stay the same. The Liebman CD is available here - third result on a Google search https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/davidliebmanfriends You may have to import from US but that's a price we have to make occasionally living in Europe. All depends on how much you want to hear something. The reason I buy occasional downloads too.
