Charles Lloyd - The Sky Will Still Be There tomorrow [Blue Note, 2024] Lovely. It's not going to convert any non-believers but if you like Charles this is a strong one, more so than the Trio albums I think

There's an interesting interview with RLJ on Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired https://www.jazzinspired.com/browse-shows/rickie-lee-jones?rq=Rickie Lee Jones

That's a good one to start the day Great stuff

Bobby Hutcherson - Linger Lane Rickie Lee Jones - Pieces Of Treasure Peter Evans - Ars Memoria Ism - Maua Zoh Amba/Francisco Mela - Causa Y Efecto vol.2

Wow! Lucky you

I bet that will be absolutely glorious, I heard some of it on the radio a while ago. I have their Orfeo

I really like that album's arc. I don't know 'Angry Waves' but have just sampled it online and it sounds great. If they weren't all so expensive I'd love to deep dive into Takayanagi's discography as I feel I haven't really got a grasp on him with the four or so titles I own or heard

Donald Byrd - Off To The Races Trying to decide whether to go back and buy the LP I saw at the weekend

Thanks for posting the photos, good to put a face to the name.

Yes, thank you for making the enquiry. I feared as much, such a shame. His knowledge of music and books seemed very deep indeed. I'll miss his presence here.

Lanthimos is a great director, I've enjoyed all his films up to 'Poor Things' which I'm yet to see. There's been some interesting commentary over here on the power dynamic between the main male and female characters and whether it's exploitative of the Stone character. That will be interesting to judge for myself I also thought 'Flower Moon' was terrific and definitely not too long

A Richter retrospective here about 10 years ago had the 'Daydream Nation' candle painting, such a privilege to see it in the flesh. The entire exhibition was knock out. I'd say the same about Richter's exposure here in late 80s. I had no idea when I bought the album, what an album too.

Looking forward to seeing both Ari Brown and Edward Wilkerson for the first time on Thursday. Playing together with an unknown to me UK band at a venue that doesn't usually programme Jazz. All a bit unusual but two masters in London is not to be missed

I'm just entering the "grab everything" stage. Her Artist Share CDs are very costly here so it's downloads of them and then any other CD releases like this one. I saw her about five years ago, knock out evening, just blew me away. That was an added attraction, I'm interested to hear her take on Weill Very envious, enjoy it!

I don't know that one, will have to rectify soon Edit to add: copy purchased, thanks for the post John

I have a ticket to see Joe in a couple of weeks at Ronnie Scott's, very much looking forward to hearing the legend in the flesh

Great album too

Elizabeth Frink at Dorchester Museum, lovely relatively small overview of her career. Well worth the trip out of London https://www.dorsetmuseum.org/event/elisabeth-frink-a-view-from-within/

Edwards/Noble Drake/Parker Edwards/Sanders

Azure

Yes it's a fabulous album, I was lucky enough to see them play it live

For what it's worth, this was the one Tommy Smith album that made me sit up at the time

Can't you write them? 😃 I'd be first in the queue for both

I need to catch up with that one

I was thinking the same and I don't believe he has. It's been Eric Harland mostly in recent years.
