Nice, thank you

Bet he has some tales

Bet the neighbours are pleased that the family is away....

Oh no! That's so sad, too young. A superlative musician and collaborator

Sad to hear this. Regret not attending her Oto gig a few years ago

I liked Mehldau for a few albums, saw him a couple of times but I certainly haven't missed listening to him I don't know that one, thanks for the tip

I have that somewhere, unlistened to for years. I should dig it out

I have that one, good album Worth a listen, Bzhezhinska is good. I've seen her live several times and Kofi is now almost elder statesman over here

Nobuo Hara And His Sharps & Flats, Elvin Jones, Frank Foster - Giant Steps [King Records, Japan 1978]

Ali Jihad Racy & Simon Shaheen - Taqasim, Improvisation In Arab Muisc [Lyrichord, USA]

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Karyobin are the imaginary birds said to live in paradise [Island Records/Hexagram, UK 1968] Keiki Midorikawa - Five Pieces Of Cake [Offbeat records, Japan 1975]

Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O - True Story [Mushroom Half Hour, RSA 2024] Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Liberian Suite And A Tone Parallel To Harlem [CBS/Sony, Japan !979 RE] Tristan Honsinger - From The Broken World [C.A.E Record, Japan 2024 RE] recent vinyl reissue that's cheaper than original CDs...great music either way

That's a great shame. A terrific musician which a gem laden back catalogue I will never forget seeing Les Diaboliques, improvising and humour of the highest order.

And the Hundred is ridiculous, as that indicates

Tricksy sport this cricket...but I'm not laughing because I hadn't thought before how someone new to it on TV would see that or not. Bowlers have preferred ends at most grounds they play on regularly

That's good if possibly a little overlong I find Black Top recordings consistently worth the time

Nice album, good news. I have a turntable technoidiot story to end all others but I'm not sharing it in public NP: The Complete Pacific Jazz And Capitol Recordings Of The Original Gerry Mulligan Quartet And Tentette With Chet Baker This is just a fabulous collection I can't believe I left it so long to properly acquaint myself with this music

Sounds great. The 'Americanizations' are all part of the T20 game here too, to attract the non-cricket crowd. I've always had great experiences with South East Asian crowds at cricket, raucously supportive but always with humour

I love lists like this. I've read 20, gave up on one, have had about another 15 on my 'to read' list for far too long. Lots of intriguing titles to investigate

Congratulations to the best team of the tournament. They are a joy to watch. England played well in the first half to negate the threat but Spain came out flying in the the second half

Lively stuff for a Sunday morning

Thanks

Just read the news,what a shame. Saw some great works over the years

First listen to, Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few - The Almighty [Division 81, USA 2024]
