I'd buy that. I only have 'Otis Blue' (probably like thousands of others) and could probably go and buy any other of his individual albums but 'Sittin'...' is such a musical peak (irrespective of genre) to my ears I'm intrigued by what else was happening in his musical world at that point. Yes,I may be suckered by the label promotion but sometimes I can live with that

and the Higgins and Lloyd duo album on ECM, 'Which Way is East' is the sound of that friendship. A distillation of their work together on some of Lloyd's other ECM releases too

it's not the strongest track in his oeuvre or on this album

making do with Larry in lieu of Johnny. He'll do, definitely

Yes, thanks. I've been hovering over the Discogs LPs for a while but many aren't in great nick and postage from US etc...it'll be the CD in the end If you don't get on with it let me know...

that's tasty on many levels, not just the Laws solo. Thanks for posting

I agree. Good time 'groove' music but then I'm a sucker for vibes most anywhere I've wanted that LP for a long time. Pockets have to be quite deep too, sadly

Just read this, entertaining https://www.allaboutjazz.com/buell-neidlinger-from-taylor-to-zappa-to-the-carpenters-buell-neidlinger-by-clifford-allen.php?pg=1 I trust Clifford's OK with it being posted here. If not, apologies

If I were there I'd be looking to go to Nubya Garcia (creating lots of noise over here at the moment, whether justifiably or not, I'm not sure), the Kim Myhr and the Arkestra. I'd be thinking about Terri Lynne Carrington and Chris Dave. Enjoy whatever you choose in the end

You can always rely on Williams to write thoughtful and informed pieces. A touching tribute

Alan Silva - Skillfullness [ESP]

Me too. Magic evening, the duo with Shepp was better than I'd initially feared - I didn't see them as natural partners somehow. My mistake obviously

Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone [ESP] a recent purchase that knocks me out each time I play it, which is often at the moment. The use of cello and bass, no drums, is masterful

That's a good one. Williamson has made a few live appearances in the last couple of years after many years seemingly away from the circuit. I hope he becomes more active still and records again Johnny Lytle - The Village Caller [OJC Riverside reissue] that's my Lytle's listened to. Need to get some more

Johnny Lytle Trio - Blue Vibes [Jazzland] my copy's seen some action in previous lives. In fact, it sounds a bit like the above sleeve looks but amongst all the "atmospheric" background noise the music shines through gloriously. Next up..

Great read. I've enjoyed listening to him since Vandermark 5.

Yes, of course (Sunday morning syndrome). Apologies to Mr Williams

Tower, Piccadilly Circus opened until midnight for some time so you could leave a gig and head down there to stock upon whoever had just impressed. Also, more worryingly you could do the same after an evening in a central London pub - great fun but invariably an expensive exercise especially in the cold light of the next morning!

Always enjoyed his musical contributions but also his pithy, informative and often humorous comments on a variety of posts on Richard Cook's Bluemoment blog. He was commenting there until fairly recently

Thanks for the Impulse suggestions

I've just read the thread with interest as I'm new to her music and it coincides with me being in a a shop with a number of her Impulse releases recently.I didn't know whether to go for them or not. Not too many mentions of Impulse releases upthread, any good ones?

Certainly sounds interesting I'd noticed some vinyl reissues on Souffle Continu recently at Honest Jon's, Louis Sclavis's involvement intrigues

Magazzino looks very enticing. I always seem to get a lot from Arte Povera exhibitions. They're not too common in the UK though

Thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to the work of Giorgio Griffa in his first UK retrospective https://www.camdenartscentre.org/whats-on/view/griffa it probably helps that it's in one of London's loveliest spaces for viewing
