Sadly there's more chance of me scoring an original 'True Blue' for £150 than Reading coming back up Chinese owner doesn't seem to be able to pay the taxes or the staff. Two sets of points deduction last year and two transfer embargoes means club is hollowed out. More chance of a consecutive relegation. Hoping for mid table mediocrity All of which means it's a bit ironic that I booked tickets to a match in a few weeks time, it will be the first match I have attended in 45 years

His big move was from Newcastle to Liverpool and then later onto West Ham. He had a very big impact on his international debut with a great goal. It became apparent he really wasn't as good as everyone initially thought. A big traditional centre forward, really not seen much anymore, whose bulk outweighs his finesse, almost always referred to as Big Andy Carroll. Coming towards the end of his career playing for a side who aren't dealing too much in finesse, he's hardly setting the world on fire but still scoring goals now and again which is more than a lot of other Reading players! 🤣 His first competitive goal for the national team, not his debut. Euros 2012. Also, his last goal for England

Those need and want words, give my partner much entertainment when it comes to my music purchasing statements

1) 1500+ LPs (still adding, too regularly), similar number of CDs (not really adding to),500+ in my download Bandcamp collection 2) I stream maximum 2 albums a day, of about an average 8 played per day, either from Tidal or Bandcamp. I use Tidal to sample but also have a saved collection of albums that don't merit purchasing in hard format. This isn't necessarily due to perceived quality but often a reflection of genre. Tidal Jazz selection doesn't often come up blank for titles I search. Tidal essential for out and about listening.

Hurry!

JALC always sell out the Barbican in London too, fairly regular visitors

I saw an Instagram post saying exactly the same yesterday, you perhaps or there's two copies on the way to resale. I haven't played mine in years, possibly a third

Best to get it over and done with early

That presupposes that Reading's free fall doesn't continue to League 2 next season...transfer embargoes, points deductions and Andy Carroll Dulwich trip sounds great (even with necessity to cross the river). I know someone who really enjoys taking young son to see Hastings Town. That level is where the real football is, perhaps

The mighty Reading FC. Hometown club, watched them as a kid, now distant supporter

Which is why I'm not too sad to be following my team in League One this season, first time for a while in tier 3...

Nice cover design. Bet the music's pretty special too. I have so many recordings by both of them individually and a couple together that I'm not sure I need another but...

I have copies of both of those down to your recommendations at some point over the last few years. Both work for me

Peter Appleyard & Orchestra - Per-cus-sive Jazz [Audio Fidelity, 1960]

Very much enjoying episode 22, my first episode. I don't visit Mixcloud often, is it possible to get a full track rundown somewhere on the app? Scratch that, seen how to do so now

Sorry, not paying sufficient attention

Coppola's 'One From The Heart' perhaps Although the Waits/Gayle album is hardly household famous except in my household Marvin's 'Troubleman'? Quadrophenia Tommy?

Well it was definitely a precursor and crossover into Acid Jazz. Started around the great Jazz Revival that brought Courtney Pine, Steve Williamson et al. I suspect may even have been bubbling under in the club scene prior Here you go, not Blakey but Tommy Chase perhaps, but definitely IDJ I didn't dance...

Harish Raghavan - In Tense [Whirlwind Recordings, 2022]

My memory, a bit hazy, of the Jazz Dance movement in London is that there was a very good dose of Jazz involved. Groups like I Dance Jazz danced to Blakey's Messengers and similar hard bop, some Pharaoh tunes were big too alongside some more Latin influenced Jazz tunes. This was the first time I saw dancing to Jazz as a fairly common occurrence in the Jazz Cafe, Dingwalls etc

I saw Chance live and would agree with that assessment

Yes, I agree. Lots of pretty disastrous housing developments in the style here too but also some that are now enjoying a re-evaluation. A style that certainly divides opinion, still.

Saw him a couple of times with ICP, great musician His first name is misspelt in the thread title, 'Tristan'

Certainly some of its optimism Brutalism undergoing a major re-evaluation in UK. I'd say it was a style that followed but is distinct from Modernism as a style

I remember that too. The Blood Ulmer album of the time was often found amongst post-punk collections
