That's a memory jog, bet it still sounds good Something a bit more recent playing here, Chien Chien Lu - Built In System, Live in New York

Yeah, that treble trick...sure I fell for that a few times before realising

I've only recently got a copy of that, I still don't know why I hadn't been aware of it for so long. Now Slade, there's a band ...

Yes, I think I paid a bit more for mine about 5 years ago...

we can dream

The Brass Company - Colors [Strata East, USA 1975] This always surprises me how good it is, maybe I don't listen to it often enough. Writing, arranging and playing of top order, I'd say.

That's a bit of a tradition, fielders signing for fans whilst fielding Indian food, good weather and cricket, that's close to an ideal world right there. Bit of Jazz between innings might be the cherry on top...

Charles Davis - Ingia! [Strata East, USA 1974] This is a really good listening

It's very good, I attended the listening party on Bandcamp.

Lloyd McNeill & Richard Kimball - 'X-temp-ore'

Yabby You - Dread Prophecy

I was looking at them and thinking just that. Wrong side of the Atlantic for me though. That Cage box is marvellous.

Me too now. I didn't know about it, thanks for posting. I always enjoy a new Turre

That's good to know. Hoping for a new recording and a visit to London

👍

Thanks again

Brother Jack McDuff - Prelude [Prestige, USA 1964] As suggested by @HutchFan, kind of...

Thanks TtK

I think that's another impressive release from Makhathini

How is that? I see it about a fair bit. I like McFarland's 'Point Of Departure' and the one with Bill Evans but that's as far as I've gone

I'd say as long as the required run rate still hovers around 10/ov you're in with a good chance but there's the number of wickets lost to factor in too, and which batters are still in or to come. So if one of your top 5 is still there and you've got some big hitters still to come, you've 8 overs left and 80 to get you're feeling confident, 100 to get you're ok, 120 then you need a couple of big performances. Bearing in mind 20+ runs can be knocked off a total in one "big"over the equation can shift quite quickly. Similarly two or three quick wickets later on and you go from 4 to 7 batters out and you find yourself relying on bowlers who can bat rather than batters Is this making any sense? I should add I don't follow T20 nearly as closely as the Test matches so this isn't an expert opinion at all

Charmer

This was also mentioned on the "What are you listening to now ..." thread. Such a great shame. A true master and a great collaborator too. I was lucky to see him just once with his Orchestra I'm also now going to read this entire thread, looks very interesting

That's nice news on the tickets hope it comes to fruition for you both If I understand you correctly to mean when is a score too big to be chased , then this will give you some context https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/highest-innings-totals-batting-second-283214 We're in Test (five days) mode here at the moment with a very good second match against West Indies, following their abject performance in the first match of the series.

I shudder to think
