  1. I hadn't noticed that but I think you're correct. Looking at the back cover picture labelled Francis Haynes it's obviously the man on the front cover. How odd
  2. Listening to it now. Strong
  3. Beaver Harris Quartet - 'Beaver Is My Name' [Timeless] I hear this as a lot more successful than 'In:Sanity'
  4. Tomorrow night at Cafe Oto, Anthony Braxton 'Zim Music'. Sextet with two harps, can't wait
  5. Amongst his many admirable traits and skills Robben was superb at throwing a dummy. After following that link I now know how defenders must have felt like when they'd been done like a kipper by Arjen
  6. So speaks the fount of common-sense and balanced reporting. Health warning required. I found myself feeling quite sick visiting that site for the first time
  7. I'm listening to 'In:Sanity' now and I hear a good album in there trying to struggle out. Oddly for a drummer-led date it's sounding a bit rhythmically constipated (and the muddy mix doesn't help either). I'm not sure the writing's there to support the larger ensemble either and when it breaks free from the arrangements a bit it sounds more vital. Still a fine line-up. I very much rate 'A Well Kept Secret' and also the Timeless date ' Beaver Is My Name' but then I like a steel pan or two - it's a London thing
  8. Beaver Harris 360 Degree Music Experience - In:Sanity [Black Saint] spinning this for the first time in a long time on the back of comments in the Reissues thread about this band
  9. The only sensible approach, i agree. Get out of the group if we're lucky One of the worst offenders I've witnessed is Arjen Robben, whilst playing for Chelsea, Holland, Bayern and RM, so North Europeans can be just as bad
  10. It's the same across many high level teams. Just don't let club allegiance blind you to the fact that it doesn't happen with your own team too
  11. Spring Heel Jack, Wadada Leo Smith, Pat Thomas, Steve Noble - Hackney Road [Treader]
  12. A big hole in my AEOC collection that needs filling soon
  13. LP3. Enjoying Bartee's contributions and hearing CJ Shearn's observations about the drumming loud and clear
  14. My team couldn't afford Ramos, thankfully
  15. It's obvious to me that he had no intention of unlocking his arm as that would have prevented him from the roll/pull manoeuvre that was intended to injure Salah. As they move together Ramos has the option to simply shoulder barge Salah off the ball and achieve possession for his team. He chooses not to and instead locks Salah's arm. Klopp is bound to say something like that as he wants to respect the occasion. It doesn't lessen the Ramos's culpability one iota. I think it's a shame as a team of RM's quality should be able to win trophies without resorting to such tactics
  16. Glad it isn't just me. A case of less than the sum of its considerable parts for me
  17. Oh, it was most definitely a foul and I think Ramos knew exactly what he was doing - the more I view it the more obvious that seems. Part of his remit was to nullify Salah and what better way than that - premeditated cheating. To have such disregard for a fellow professional's welfare is a disgrace. All great defenders have the ability to exploit the dark arts and Ramos has that in spades. And, no I'm not a Liverpool fan
  18. I thought I could hear your applause... The longer tracks work best. It's a shame they didn't make it a double package and maintain more of the band playing on each piece to provide greater context for Gare's solos. Sounds fine for what this is, a fond memorial
  19. Worth the entry fee for the first track alone
  20. Parker, Edwards, Corsano - The Hurrah [Oto roku] Fantastic!

    Evan Parker

    Anyone interested in EP's work will enjoy listening to this discussion with Dave Douglas, I think As always, he's an entertaining, informative and modest conversationalist https://greenleafmusic.com/anftd-49-evan-parker/
  22. Brotzmann, Mengelberg, Bennink - 3 Points And A Mountain [FMP] Fuchs, Schneider, Huber - Momente [FMP] two marvellous trios. The Fuchs sounding particularly impressive this morning
  23. I like that one a lot
  24. Indeed...another interested party here?
