Yes, it's about a quarter of the price of buying the UK versions. Unfortunately the US version side 4 is pressed off centre which leads to a little distortion. This will do until I can afford a UK upgrade. Great music

Mike Westbrook Concert Band - Marching Song (An Anti-War Jazz Symphony) [Deram/London, 1970 uS 2LP] Today's arrival

Interesting. A couple of his Soul Note LPs are in my offload pile...

Yes, I passed too. Will no doubt regret it when it's sold out

Just off Essex Road, Hunter's Arms in Southgate Road. M-in-L's local so easy for her. Nice place, good veggie Sunday roast and non veggie menu looked ok. Lots of millennials and younger, we raised average age considerably. Looked kid friendly too. Mulled cider a hit

No, lunch with mother in law

I was in rain soaked Essex Road too, no Salsa or Xmas tree though 👍

That's special

Can't go wrong there

👍

Nils Petter Molvaer & Norwegian Radio Orchestra - Certainty Of Tides

Looks great

Break A Vase, episode 38 https://www.mixcloud.com/AlexanderHawkinsMusic/break-a-vase-episode-38/

Just the cover makes me want to hear this

Isaiah Collier - Parallel Universe Lots to like about this on first listen, not least Jimetta Rose

OK, I'm going to wait for an ID now. I have just listened to 'Changes Two' for the first time in years though, so something else good comes out of the BFT!

I've only just come across this post. It's an example of why I keep coming back here, such enthusiasm and passion but also maybe most importantly here, knowledge and a willingness to openly share all of the aforementioned. It made me laugh out loud, definitely not at it but with it, in sheer delight I don't know the Sato album but I am a fan of his and I don't know the Ives either but I'm going to seek them both out now. Thanks @HutchFan First listen and I'd say partially successful. Sometimes Shipp's playing seems a bit heavy handed for Mitchell. Other times the band sound very together though I'll enjoy revisiting

A truly great songwriter

So if Track 7 is pre 1975 with Adams and Pullen, are we talking Mingus Changes band I wonder? I haven't listened to them in a long while

Matthew Shipp Trio invites Nicole Mitchell - All Things Are

Is it David Murray on track.7 ?

Which explains why I know it, it's on my shelves!

I think Continuum may shade it but they are both very impressive. His drumming in Lehman's Octet is pretty impressive too, it certainly was live. And playing here... Joshua Raswon Octet - Polar Waters If I could be bothered to do albums of the year this would be high up and all the better for being a completely new discovery and a bit of a punt. Hints of Kenny Wheeler's writing for Norma.

I'm really pleased to hear that 2 and 3 are obscure and I'm unlikely to know them, always like new discoveries
