He may well be but my club are quite happy with their manager thanks. You won't be overly bothered by my hometown team, Reading FC, I suspect. If this is a reference to Spurs, who aren't my club but are 2 miles down the road, then they may well have just done a worse deal than Sam

New Braxton House - at least co-founded by AB I believe Come to that, what about the Tri-Centric Foundation releases?

George Haslam - Slam Productions Simon H. Fell - Bruces Fingers Alex Ward - Copepod Whether they would describe themselves as Jazz musicians is perhaps a moot point

Just by me questioning the decision to cut at 45rpm and the resultant abrupt non-fades. Evidently one of those is on the original which I don't know so I was happy to stand corrected on that one.

It's great when that happens after a clean. Pleased your new kit is working out.

George Sams - Nomadic Winds [Hat Art] very pleased to discover this. Short at just over 30 minutes but it's quality

That's a hell of a line up. How was Moncur?

Culture no but CD boxsets almost certainly

Anyone who really wants to hear that music can buy the LPs, all are fairly readily available and not exorbitantly priced. They'll not get a CD reissue now unless as David says it's institutionally supported. Really how many units would sell worldwide, let's face it it wouldn't even get near to 50% take up on this board. I love the idea of Don't Preston trying to break it in the Zappa market most of whom would probably want a hologram of FZ included ☺ Streaming/digital possibly but I still don't see that happening soon.

He also helps his fellow enthusiasts https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/20/rod-stewart-donates-10000-model-railway-club-vandalised-market-deeping

Various Artists - Inspiration & Power 14 Free Jazz Festival [Trio Records]

I've bought two of their Company reissues. Nicely done but unconvinced that cutting them at 45rpm enhances the experience of this music very much, especially when they were sidelong pieces at 33rpm. I sent them an email with this observation and they got very upset... I have an original of that Music Improv Co. title. Excellent stuff, as is the ECM

Grachan Moncur III - Shadows [Denon]

I'm also a big fan of saved searches, my bank account less so

That result may well had been the ref's fault too

Your earlier 1-4 celebratory post seems to have disappeared overnight. So strange. Hubris strikes again... Always the refs fault

Just arrived, George Haslam/Nikolas Skordas -'Lethe Alexandros Aivaliotis/Nikolas Skordas - Duet both from Slam Productions

You should try to hear the other Music Improvisation Company album too. Then there is the Bailey\Holland album on ECM which is certainly noteworthy and early enough enough to be mentioned in this thread if it hasn't already been.

Very sad to read this. His posts were always ones to look out for and his generosity in sharing his knowledge with me via pm was greatly appreciated and will be missed. This place is a lesser place for his loss.

Some very important and very fine releases spread throughout the catalogue

Surprised these haven't got a mention The Bley is my favourite of his. Triptykon is up there with Sart for the 'icy fire' and has the added bonus of Vesala which is a very big bonus indeed

Angel Bat Dawid - the Oracle (International Anthem) Damon Locks Black Monument Ensemble - Where Future Unfolds (International Anthem) Jaimie Branch - Fly Or Die II (International Anthem) Olie Brice Somersaults Trio - Numerology of Birdsong (Westhill Records) Nerija - Blume (Domino) And I fully expect to add Matana Roberts' Coin Coin 4 when it arrives next week

I listened to it again this week. It's a very strong release. Sorry to have missed the Oto gig.

Maybe so but one man's crutch is another man's aid.

I'm less dismissive of the book idea than some of you. 18 months ago I found myself jobsearching for the first time in 30 years and it soon became very apparent I needed to master Twitter quickly. I went to my local library (we still have a few that haven't been closed) and browsed the computer, jobsearch and business shelves. Found three books that looked at Twitter from different perspectives. All helpful. Yes, it's designed to be easily accessible but some of us like to learn in a reflective rather than active, trial and error, style. So, my advice for what it's worth is your local library if accessible. Otherwise the local adult ed classes as already suggested. Look for the half day, taster style classes. I work for a charity for older people and we run such tasters so depending on your age this too is an option. Good luck. I will say I find Twitter increasingly addictive, so beware too!
