Guardian is reporting that Antonio Conte si the next to sup from Perez's poisoned chalice. He'll certainly bring character and verve and maybe persuade someone to start scoring some goals.

McCraven works for me. Enjoyed all his International Anthem releases so far and looking forward to hearing the new one soon.

Similarly in the process of getting to know this. The more I listen the more I'm intrigued. Pillar 2 doing it for me the most so far

Aha! Hadn't done the necessary Spotify search earlier, phew. Wallet relieved for the time being

I'm not sure whether I'm pleased to hear that or not . I might have to spend out on it now...

the book isn't this big!!! Thanks to Ghost of miles for the prompt

I wasn't so keen on the live album as his other albums although seeing that quartet live was a really intense listen.. I find the new one a stimulating and enjoyable listen. It's no great diversion from his earlier BN releases (spoken word, string writing, a political conscience all appear on the earlier albums) or that really impressive debut on FSNT (ten years ago now!) I remain a fan and I'm looking forward to where he goes next

Sorry to read this. Also sorry to have to read it from The Mail Online which is a rag of a paper that usually peddles pretty salacious titillation - see their sidebar. There certainly seems a disconnect between them reporting potential sexual abuse and their editorial standards towards the portrayal of women. Not to deflect from the seriousness of the story one iota

I did wonder. Nice idea. I've recently had some bespoke shelves installed (not nearly as many) and have been thinking about genre dividers

Fantastic!

Alan Braufman - Valley Of Search [Valley Of Search] My reissue of the year, so far Archie Shepp - Three For A Quarter, One For A Dime [Impulse] John Tchicai, Archie Shepp - Rufus {Fontana, mono] United Front - Live In Berlin [FMP]

That's a very good album indeed. I was lucky enough to see the trio live about that time too

Ruweh, interesting label with some very good releases

It's coming home again! good performance by all accounts. Counter attack in the first half and defend for your lives in the second...
