At the time I found lots of great albums by following players from Sclavis and Texier's bands. Dominique Pifarelly, Vincent Courtois, Francois Raulin, Yves Robert, Michel Marre, Francois Courneloup, Julien Lourau, Sebastian Texier all come to mind. Spellings may be a bit Anglocentric and awry...apologies to our French colleagues. I hoovered up Label Bleu religiously especially when at Paris Jazz Corner

That's a good album

They form a good part of my collection. I agree with you, lots of terrific stuff. Playing here now, Jackie Paris - The Song Is Paris

Casper the ghost Phil Spector Faiouzi Ghoulam

Gordon Banks Pele Milton Nascimento

James Stewart Stuart Broad Coleman Hawkins

James 'Blood' Ulmer's Music Revelation Ensemble! Reason enough to go I'd say. Wonder who's in it these days

Joey Ramone Michelle Mone Monica Bellucci

Have all these tracks been reissued at all? Just tried Discogs and couldn't see that they had. There's a 1957 album 'Skylark' that looks like it has a few but not all of them https://www.discogs.com/master/1248973-Jackie-Paris-Skylark If they're this good...

That's tempting in that case

Boy George Girls School Lemmy

Per 'Texas' Johansson Randy California Virginia Astley

Roy Scheider Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis Shirley Scott

The Japanese LP I have of it also sounds great so I can imagine how terrific the CD must do on your system. Such a good album too.

Puff the Magic Dragon Puff Daddy Father Ted

Sounds interesting

A contemporary player who I find fascinating and is 8nvariably a guarantor of a good release is Rafal Mazur https://www.discogs.com/artist/1988671-Rafal-Mazur

Some good suggestions already. Poland certainly has a rich Jazz heritage. The film music of Krzysztof Komeda is steeped in Jazz Tomasz Stanko from 'Astigmatic' with Komeda to his later ECM run any of which are well worth your time. Lots of excellent albums between too like 'Purple Sun' (apologies just read your original post where you mention Stanko) Some recommendations from the Polskie Nagrania Muza label to investigate from the 60s onwards, Andrzej Trzakowski Quintet Andrzej Kurylewicz Quintet - 10+8 Jerzy Milan Trio - Bazaar Orchestra of the Polish Radio - Jazz Studio Zbigniew Namyslowski - Winobranie

John Mayall - The Blues Alone I'd never really listened to Mayall before he died, mea culpa. Interest piqued by the obits, to my ears there's a deal of soulfulness in these Blues.

Tamar Osborn & Idris Rahman - Conversations

The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Herbie Nichols - Mosaic This music has haunted me, in a good way, since I borrowed it from the library about 20 years ago. Finally decided I needed to have it on tap. Also, Collocutor - Continuation LP Tamar Osborn and Idris Rahman - Conversations download Both featuring Osborn whose playing, improvising and writing I'm increasingly intrigued by and enjoying

And by doing so you may find new perspectives from members that have joined subsequent to the last post or even if your really lucky longer standing members repeating their earlier posts, because some of us are getting forgetful round here, or even better still contradicting our earlier posts. Entertainment, and possibly education, guaranteed whichever way you cut it...

I'm not sure that that wasn't also the case for the vast majority of those involved in the UK Mod revival in the 80s. It was the fashion and, some of, the music predominantly here too. I don't remember a particularly great connection to or insight into the 60s movement other than by imitation.

I've resisted so far, dug out the CD instead...
