copies of Double Exposure are currently on Discogs if you want to bring the day closer

Played it today because of this thread and it is indeed an interesting listen especially because of the stylistic split of the two sides The Joe Chamber's compositions are very stimulating. Where can one hear more of his work in this vein? any clues gratefully accepted

Shipped to the UK, it's over $30. Seems a bit steep considering Chuck is shipping his latest releases for $18. Wait a month or so and I'm guessing it'll be priced on Amazon UK like Threadgill at 13.66 GBP eligible for free shipping. Based on today's exchange rate that would save you about $8. It's a two disc set isn't it? Which makes Amazon UK's current £14.94 (free shipping inc.) pretty attractive to me and I've pre-ordered and will snarl gently when the price drop Head Man anticipates occurs. In the past Amazon have had trouble sourcing the Pi releases to their advertised deadline but they do turn up fairly close to it I can never understand Pi's shipping costs, by far the most expensive i've encountered from US. I emailed them about it sometime ago but no reply

I certainly feel EP merits a biography, whether this is the one or not. http://unbound.co.uk...sity-of-purpose I have no connection with the author whatsoever. Apologies if this has been posted before.

Thanks for posting that clip, Alex. On the strength of it I went straight to Emanem and purchased Synopsis - what a terrific album. Don't know how this trio passed me by.

I've got an LP of it pressed so off centre it's unlistenable. happy to part with for a reasonable price ...cover's nice.... I thought it was too good to be true when I tracked it down on ebay for less than £20 and it was too good to be true BYG pressing? You got it spot on there

any thoughts or impressions of the McNair, especially "Flute and Nut"? I only know a reissue of "The Fence" which appears to have some tunes from "Harold McNair" tacked on as a bonus

Enjoy your trip, Bebop. I hope you get some time to enjoy London in its post-Olympic hangover

shopping-wise London's stores have been sorely affected by online competition so youre looking at a few specialists that stock varying degrees of Jazz, listed in order of Jazz stock (not scientific) Rays Jazz Honest Jon's Harold Moores Universal Sounds/Sounds of the Universe Then there's a number of second hand and other music stores in Berwick Street that's worth a visit. I find I very rarely visit the highstreet chains but HMV on Oxford Street and Fopp on Cambridge Circus might be worth checking. The good thing is that sll these (except Honest Jons) are within a 15minute walking radius. Honest Jons is in Portebello Market which has a coupple of other non-Jazz music stores about. Gig-wise, Headman's listing should see you right. Not knowing your taste in Jazz, I'd suggest the following are venues worth investigating as well established and well thought of The Vortex Cafe Oto (my favourite) 606 Club Pizza Express Dean Street and dear old Ronnie Scotts Might be worth checking the Time Out website or buying a copy on arrival. If you need any more detail on any of the above just PM

How I hear this album is it really highlights the contributions of Christensen and Danielsson throughout. Jarrett and garbarek are often the focus but without this rhythm section so much of this would diminish. Great release overall as likely as any other current proposal

Mo sure is a hero here right now. Alongside Ennis and Rutherford, GB enjoying a good day in the stadium rather than velodrome.

Sad news. I only know him from the Stanko but that's enough to show he'll be missed

Count me in as a fan. I've also made use of his website - very friendly service.. I first came to his music with the Silkhearts which i still hold in high regard. I haven't delved into the Diaagnim much apart from one Yells at Eels. Recent Hymn Project, Renegade Spirits and Matter of Blood all highly impressive and also display the range of settings that he works in.

Everyone will be growing them now ! fertilser out here already .As the man said himself "not as popular since Noddy Holder" !!

Mandela's walk to freedom said so much

Really? that must have been one hell of a concert. Or maybe one hell of a beer. Enjoy sunny Cornwall, Bev

Marvellous day for British cycling. First, second in GC and Cavendish winning again on the Champs Elysee. great to see the yellow jersey leading cavendish out for the sprint - no sitting back and enjoying the ride for Wiggins. What a team effort that's supported Wiggins, who is a great cyclist without doubt (boring or not), all the way. Next year...Chris Froome's turn, maybe

Another good day for Wiggins. Still looking comfortable and dealing with the challenges from Nibali so far. One more mountain stage to get through unscathed and he'll be looking set for the time trial. Evans looks nearly beaten now

Just checked and mine is Hote Marge 03. 2010 release so I may not have had it quite as long as I'd thought. Played it today and the recording's lovely, quite close up. Music is considered in a good way with plenty of space left by everyone. Number of different combinations play across the tracks. I can't see it would disappoint many folk, especially if you enjoyed the recent work of Motian, Peacock or Konitz

I've owned "Owl's talk" for well over two years so this must be a reissue. Very solid date. Nice playing all round (as you might expect from a group like that) and Grimal is certainly not found wanting in this company. Very interested in her new release with Sorey at al on Ayler. Should ne markedly different but hopefully equally as interesting

not quite as entertaining as the recent press conference but probably gets the message across better...

Interesting discussion of the chainrings on UK TV coverage the other day. Chris Boardman highlighting pros and cons and asking if Schleck's chain problems last year were caused by these. Yesterday was a fascinating watch and I think Sky's 'secret' weapon was Chris Froome - he looked like he could have left everyone standing if he hadn't had to nurse Bradley. Not looking good for Evans now

there will only ever be one Lol Coxhill
