Head Man

Absolutely essential.... both of them. Well done, Hux!

I haven't played it for some time but I don't recall that disc being any better than the others. I am a fan of Mr. Tolliver, though.....

Everything on here of course.......

I agree, he was on fire during this period. I already have all the CDs so won't buying the boxset, though.

Richard Williams likes it....... http://thebluemoment.com/

Yes, I guess he should have thrown it out of the hotel window into the swimming pool.......

sez who?........oh, irony...irony....

My Horace Tapscott arrived this morning and it's a knockout! The sound is unbelievably good, so good in fact that I had to dig out my old RCA Novus CD to confirm I was listening to the same album. The artwork is just what you'd expect from Jonathan... beautiful. Also included is an interesting essay by Bill Shoemaker which gives some background to the making of the album and the state of the LA jazz scene at the time. My reissue of the year.......

Great news..... if it happens.

Pleased to find it on Spotify! Oops! Looks like Spotify only has the title track :-( Oh dear......more expense!

His four albums on Concord, released in the 80s and 90s, are all excellent...plus his albums with Toshiko Akiyoshi, of course. Has he released much since....?

Any idea where I might be able to pick up a copy of this on CD at a reasonable price, Roger? Amazon has some second hand CD copies but at quite a price. It is an excellent album though. Too rich for me, I'm afraid. I contacted Fellside Records about the possibilty of them re-issuing it, but the cost of relicensing it from Unversal make this uneconomical. (How many times have I heard that!)

Thanks for posting that, Lon. I think I'll treat myself for Christmas...........

Vorsprung durch...leather trousers? .... leather everything.......

Any idea where I might be able to pick up a copy of this on CD at a reasonable price, Roger?

Dac Thien Quyen.........oops, looks like I have his first and second names transposed. Gene Quill Ike Quebec The Quintet plus Quicksilver Messenger Service Question Mark & The Mysterians

Although this is a jazz forum, I know there are a few fans of Nic Jones lurking here. Anyway, I've just heard that Topic Records are releasing a DVD of a recently aired BBC4 documentary. In addition to the documentary, the DVD also includes the full performances of seven songs that were only shown in part, in the documentary. Full details here: http://www.topicrecords.co.uk/category/artist-a-z-index/nic-jones/ If you've never heard Nic Jones then try and and hear his masterpiece, 'Penguin Eggs'. Many call it the greatest British folk album ever made......

... same here. Thanks for the heads-up, Roger

Yes, it's MY favourite album by him too.

...nice one, Allen.

French horn, maybe? Oops........

Anthony Braxton "Live In Willisau" and "Live in Santa Cruz" for a Flamin' Groovies bootleg I once bought drunk on ebay. When I sobered up I had no idea why I did that. Does this offer still stand? It's probably gone up to three hardboiled eggs by now.........

Julius Watkins on........

£2.95........those were the days!

... and John Surman..... and Ronnie Ross...
