Not any more!!!!! Pride of north London!

Spurs, my local team, two miles away. COYS!! However who as a serious football fan hasn't got a soft spot for Ajax. Great history, great legacy throughout Europe and a classic home strip too

Elvin Jones - Live, The Town Hall [P.M. Records] after a few days listening to the Elvin Mosaic on Spotify it seemed fate that I should find this today

I'm always loathed to start these threads but a number of online sources are reporting his passing. His Discogs entry is updated to show a date last month for his death but tis tribute suggests yesterday https://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2019/05/fritz-novotny-november-21-1940-may-7.html I just wish his music with the Freedom Art Unit was easier to come by

Football. Lovely football. Marvellous Liverpool

Brexit, racism, Windrush, Russia and the Sex Pistols...I predict this thread will end well

YNWA!!

No one's messing with Larry, that's for sure

I'm new to him too (I normally veer away from improv guitarists - a personal prejudice I may overcome one day) but there are two relatively recent Intakts with the same trio that really worked for me - 'Another Day In Fucking Paradise' and its follow up 'Closer To The Ground'. Others I have enjoyed are duo discs with Barry Guy and Lotte Anker, both also on Intakt. I'm sure others will have lots more knowledge and recommendations though

I saw an excellent Frith\Anker duet set at Oto a couple of years back. Those trio albums on Intakt are great

Guy Warren Of Ghana - Afro-Jazz [Return To Analog] One of my favourite Chico albums

very much enjoying this. Took me a while to warm to it but thoroughly warmed now. I still remember the impact of 'Time Of Our Singing' ('Orfeo', a lot less) An apt follow on from this that I've just finished

I listened to it once on Spotify and was very impressed only to promptly forget about it (without the prompt of a physical item) until your reminder. I shall give it another spin. I agree about Intakt although the prices seem to have crept up. Paying a little extra for quality is an admirable approach which I don't always afford myself, I realise.

No one seems to be commenting on the biggest football story of the weekend, Reading FC's heroic survival in the Championship. I can't think why it has gone unnoticed amongst all this talk of Ajax, Barcelona, Spurs and Arsenal...😁

Onto disc 4 of DKV & Joe McPhee's 'The Fire Each Time' Some great music on this and the previous discs

Certainly a lively one for a Sunday morning. Another of Sakata's own leader dates on Enja, 'Clay', features the same trio minus Schoof. Well worth hunting out if you don't already know it.

Dewey Redman - Coincide [Impulse] Rediscovering how good this is after too long. Ted Daniel, Sirone, Eddie Moore, Leroy Jenkins, how could it not be good.

Very excited to have booked today to see him at Ronnie Scott's in the summer. I have really enjoyed a number of concert hall gigs but the intimacy of the club should be extra special.

Love that Steig must dig out for a spin. I don't know the Scott but suspect I should

Three great albums there

PM sent

The New Don Ellis Band featuring Patti Allen - Goes Underground [CBS] works for me

Happy Birthday to the poster of extraordinary and eclectic musical knowledge!!

I bought 'Time' on a whim and it took me aback. Coe is amazing and Bailey's not as 'spikey' as I usually hear him. 'Cyro' will be in my next HJ order meanwhile Michael White - Pneuma [Impulse/ABC] the third of the batch that arrived today
