Thank you TTK, certainly sounds like I should hear it

Who's ever truly done? Now a bit different Milt Bernhart Brass Ensemble - Modern Brass [RCA Victor, 1955 Mono]

Thank you, enjoy the revisit

GianluigiTrovesi - Baghet [Dischi Della Quercia, Italy 1978] Santucci-Scoppa - On The Underground Road [dire, Italy 1978 RE] Does the quartet get much exposure on that or is it predominantly the orchestra and chorus?

Both are very good indeed, I think you'd enjoy them.

Giorgio Gaslini - La Stagione Incantata (Suite) [La Voce Del Padrone, Italy 1968] Giorgio Gaslini Ensemble E Quartetto - Nuovi Sentimenti (New Feelings) Suite - [La Voce Del Padrone, Italy 1966]

Gastr del Sol - Camoufleur

Me too, need to dig it out

My choices have been covered already I think. Brotzmann (every solo album), Parker (soprano and tenor albums), McPhee (I like the run he did on Roaratorio). As we're nearly all disregarding @Pim's limit of three I'll throw in these as well, I have a fondness for Hamiet Bluiett's 'Birthright' and Hemphill's 'Blue Boye' Evan Parker's 'Zanzou' took a while to track down and was definitely worth the effort. There's more recent examples too I'm sure but they're not coming to mind right now

Listening to 'Dansere', he was superb

I think the secret for me was to not compare to the others you mention, all of which are favourites. I found myself listening to them almost as if they weren't John Martyn albums and therefore not freighted with the attendant expectations. I also think that the bands and arrangements can sound very of their time, and therefore dated, but again I tried, and largely succeeded in hearing them with fresh ears. I'm not sure how much sense this even makes and it was achieved after 30 years of largely disregarding them. Perhaps that distance helped. 'One World' was my entry point, and played endlessly at the time so always sat on the right side of the divide for me.

It took some time to appreciate later Martyn, post One World, but now I really enjoy them

My bank balance saved by the Atlantic again! Hope you find a seller for both soon

Took a few days but here myself now. It really is a cracking album

That looks like I need to investigate it

Aha! I enjoy that Substack, good writing

Bought it on release, saw them live at the time. Terrific album and band. Mykaell Riley co-curator of the British Library's 'Beyond the Bassline' exhibition https://blogs.bl.uk/sound-and-vision/2024/04/beyond-the-bassline-500-years-of-black-british-music.html Never heard of that album until today when I've come across it twice.

Thanks

OK, that looks an intriguing line up of guests

👍

That sounds like an evening to remember. Never seen them.

That's good to hear. My interactions with them have always been positive from a customer service perspective. Here's hoping it makes it to you soon. I'm just back from the venue and spotted they have just two sets left now

Oto posted that they had found 5 new sets yesterday so it might be worth asking them to send one of them as a replacement?

Glad it was a success. I'll be at Birchall too.
