  1. Did you get any help with this?
  2. PS plus Alexander Hawkins on piano, compelling.
  3. Thanks Ollie, great CD. I bought it after hearing some impressive extracts during your interview last Thursday on Resonance FM (Ben Thompson’s London Ear, a consistently excellent programme). Rachel Musson is amazing on it, as you say! Recommended. Anthony London
  4. The first album is odd, half of it is in a calypso jazz style. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. It wasn’t!
  5. Can’t see any previous threads on tap dancers. Jimmy Slyde with George Benson and Papa Jo Jones is a good enough place to start.
  6. A friend of mine was there on Wednesday and sent me a photo, looked very sunny. He said Jimmy Anderson had bowled very few overs. Think Lancs are using his name to get the punters in?
  7. Beautiful memories, thanks Alexander. Saw Louis with you at Cafe Oto a couple of times I think. Great gigs. Re classical music, my late brother in law working for Serious Music collected John McLaughlin from Heathrow years back. He flipped when my brother in law put some loud jazz rock stuff on the radio and demanded silence or classical music.
  8. Agreed. I began listening to jazz through a lot of my Dad’s 78s. Parker Gillespie and Mulligan have never sounded more powerful to my ears. Still have ‘em.
  9. Great! Henry deserves a thread in the Artists section.
  10. Yes, that would have been in the side room to the pub, now unrecognisable as a restaurant. Music is now upstairs. Henry Lowther was on great form (nearly 84). I knew he had played at Woodstock (for the only band not recorded or filmed) but I hadn’t realised the range of artists he had played with over the years, ranging from Elton John to Buzzcocks.
  11. Yes, Still Waters. Veteran Dave Green on bass. Pete Hurt on tenor.
  12. Henry Lowther tonight at the Bull and Gate London NW5, the new home for jazz in Kentish Town. Last band I saw here was Half Man Half Biscuit in the early 90s….
  13. Interesting, many of these early Tyner dates on Impulse are not easy to find.
  14. Wow, two CD reissues. I’m happy to pass on my copy to anyone Uk based who may appreciate it more than me.
  15. Freddie Roach’s All That’s good has evaded most reissue programs over the years. There’s only one Japanese reissue I’m aware of but otherwise, nothing. It’s dreadful. But I’m open to offers!
