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

Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley - Ailanthus/Altissima [TriplePoint] finally took the leap...loving what I hear so far on the first listen through. The sound's such that it's like they're in the room with me

RIP, for once the word "genius" seems comfortably applicable

Bernd Alois Zimmerman - Die Befristeten and Improvisationen [Wergo]. Performed by the Manfred Schoof Quintet - Schoof, Dudek, von Schlippenbach, Niebergall and Leibezeit I wish I could read the the full notes that are in German

Yes, I enjoyed that alot and agree it worked well as an introduction. I felt a little short-changed by the missed opportunity of not having more of the interviews with the fours composers featured. If you go to the trouble of setting the interviews up then why not use them more fully, especially given the stated rarity of LaMonte Young interviews probably The Maximimalists

Wish I'd seen that duo. Brötzmann's choice of drummer is usually pretty impeccable, I find.

Today's two somewhat contrasting purchases. Both very listenable on first acquaintance Klaus Doldinger - Dig Doldinger [Phillips] Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone [ESP]

A shame indeed and doubly so that he felt so "left out" in his last years

Should hope so at those prices...OK, not necessarily too expensive per CD but in such large quantities it's costly

Thanks for a really stimulating listen that certainly enhanced my knowledge of Ashby and her music

Terrific album This thread really is turning into Memory Lane. Firstly it was Echo & The Bunnymen, then The Ramones and now even further back, the mighty Feelgood. "Stupidity" was the soundtrack to many a teenage evening. I just looked it up and it reached No.1 in the UK album charts!

Great, looking forward to hearing this. I've been discovering Ashby over the last few months

Currently touring Europe, playing with a certain Alexander Hawkins of this parish at some point. Hopefully building up to the next chapter of Coin Coin never heard of Grace Kelly...
