Yes, indeed

Me too. A big fan, waiting for some new work at some point I've even forgiven her for her non-appearance on the evening of a London Jazz Festival gig on my birthday, about 10 years ago. A subsequent Ronnie Scott's gig was very very special.

You can say that again 👍

All this love for Jethro Tull who I always think of as a band with such an almost quintessentially English sound that it always surprises me that they crossed over the Atlantic so much. I know they were huge at times. I liked them in smaller doses but when I did like them I liked them a lot, 'Aqualung' for instance.

Stop it you two, I can't keep up 😭 More Satoh to investigate...

Yes, mine is on now. Sounds great

I might just get my copy out too, thanks for the reminder

3 CDs by Sergio Armaroli

#3, no vibes player. I need my hearing tested

I bought the LP of this recently. My first Satoh solo, very special

Vilhelm Bromander - In This Forever Unfolding Moment [Thanatopsis Production, Sweden 2023]

And how did I forgot The Balimaya Project. Possibly concert of the year alongside the Brotzmann

I know them. This is a female vocalist, sorry wasn't thinking about his solo albums.

It is. Pretty typical Texier, those rolling bass themes, some nice added wordless vocals which I'm not sure he's used before. One vocal standard and a lovely tribute to Carla Bley and Steve Swallow It certainly is

Henri Texier - An Indian's Life [Label Bleu, France 2023]

My concert going has necessarily and unfortunately dwindled considerably over recent years but in 2023 I enjoyed Tyshawn Sorey - solo piano The Necks Charles Lloyd Ocean Trio Makaya McCraven playing In Our Times Peter Brotzmann Trio, his last concert. RIP Nik Bartsch Sophie Agnel Nubya Garcia playing Focus Matthew Halsall And away from the Jazz/Improv world... Jim Ghedi Alva Noto Works of Gerard Grisey Jeremiah Chiu Works of Gyorgy Ligeti The John Martyn Project

They're good. Interesting life story too

Nobuo Hara And Sharps & Flats - Double Exposure [Liberty, 1970 Japan]

Thanks, shall do

I don't know that but I'm always up for some indo-Jazz

An essential part of the UK, and beyond, scene. So much music released to the world's ears. I remember him regularly on the door at the Red Rose Cub and other gigs with an always tempting selection of CDs. Also not forgetting the work he did distributing and retailing Evan Parker's Psi label

Very fitting. If that was the funeral heaven alone knows what the wake was like...

Thanks. Tate was very powerful live

How is that? I saw them perform music from that. It was a very powerful gig, hope the album is good too. It will be a post Xmas purchase for me I think Anything that Reed's involved in is worthy of attention I find

Neil Young - Before and After Quintessential and quite beautiful
