A career much more as a sideman than leader. Lovely player, he's still very much about. I used to see him regualrly in Kenny Wheeler bands. This is good from around that time, if I remember correctly and earlier. I'm sure @sidewinder will be able to provide a better overview

Yes!

And that was the quiet months!

It would appear so

I still want to hear about it though. Does the Appleyard Percussive Jazz album fit into that criteria? I bought it recently partly reassured by your enthusiasm for it in historical posts here

Yes, it soundtracked a lot of the work day. Murray has a special place in my Jazz heart, the first artist I got into in a big way and there was a lot to get into back then.

I've listened to it all now. There's a lot of it but it's pretty uniformly good to my ears. Nice to hear Murray playing in this setting

Thanks, I'll check them out

Any good?

Their other one is just as good

I had no idea. 4LP set! I was at the London gig mentioned in the description I think.

That's the one

What poignancy Carmona's winner now has given the news of her father.

Interesting, thanks. There's a live album that's on Tidal which first turned me onto them. I can imagine that they were impressive live

Lovely listen. As for why 'Blue Monk' is interesting definition, raised a laugh

OK, got you. I can certainly understand that point of view.

That's interesting, I've thought that Reid's compositions have stood out right from the beginning. Her Hairy Who album was 2012.

Something England failed to score today

Or not. Well played Spain, gave England a footballing lesson. Well deserved champions

Thanks. Glad Moye was OK

Probably is. I was just very taken by that presentation at the time and thought I'd ask

Thanks TTK, shame

I'm coming cold to this but is that Dirty Harry suite commercially available in that form?
