Yes, it is isn't it. All the elements come together very nicely. And, Happy Birthday (belatedly perhaps). Love the Wolf LP story

James Brandon Lewis & The Lutoslawski Quartet - These Are Soulful Days excellent tenor and strings album I read somewhere today that today's the anniversary of the release, not that anyone needs a reason to play that on any day

James Brandon Lewis Red Lilly Quintet - For Mahalia, With Love [Tao Forms, USA 2023] This is really very good. Thanks to @tkeith's current BFT for nudging me to buy it

More Lounge today I see

Jack McDuff - The Heatin' System [Cadet, USA 1972] Summer's finally arrived in London, 30 degree heat outside and inside with this music. Phil Upchurch! Special mention to @HutchFan for my intro to this

And flute Jazz here now, Herbie Mann - Windows Opened [Atlantic, USA 1968] Love the version of 'If I Were A Carpenter' on this

I've had packages get from London to east coast and in the opposite direction in 5 days recently. Certainly not sucking, at the moment at least, when in partnership with Royal Mail.

Saw them live about then, very impressive

Okay Temiz Trio - Turkish Folk Jazz [Sonet, UK 1975] Great album, exactly what the title says it is

Good to see Nat being played, not too sure too many folk know of him here

My 2 pence says the same... Also, I have thoughts about Tyner with Coltrane but I keep them to myself as I want to live a bit konger

Charles Rouse - Two Is One [Strata East, Japan 1976 RE] Today's arrival. Such an intriguing listen. Really enjoying it I'm pleased to heat I'm not the only one who hears Tyner as breathless, more often than not for me, especially on Milestone. I also rate 'Sama Layuca, thanks to Bobby H.

Washington's other Aussies did the damage by the looks of things Meanwhile England wrapped up another comprehensive victory against West Indies in the 3rd and final Test. I had no idea that Canada has a T20 league, it's everywhere i

I hope there isn't a cat, those claws

Jeff Mills - The Eyewitness Fascinating music, equally fascinating interview with him on the radio this afternoon

That's good news, I hadn't heard that

It was my entry point in 1976 so I'm very fond of it. I think 'Darkness...' is my favourite album though

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run followed by Bruce Springsteen - The River Breaking out the Bruce vinyl as he's in town this week. Would love to have been able to see him again, my last time was 1988.

Bet that's good

Travis Head, one of the best (and it hurts to say that about an Aussie😁)

On this now, better than I remember

Just looked up the scorecards. Texas only lost one wicket, a nine wicket victory is pretty comprehensive even if it felt close. It goes back to what we were saying about tipping points and run rates. In that position Texas would have been pretty confident I reckon given they had nine batters left to get them over the line. Let's just say if they hadn't made it it would have been embarrassing. Some interesting names involved including two of highly regarded umpires in world cricket, Erasmus and Taufel

Sounds like I should get myself a copy

👍 just pulled it off the shelf

That actually sounds like the Sun Ra book I need to help get some grasp on the discography. The layout looks good. A handy reference to have lying about perhaps
