  1. I see the forecast is good for the weekend as I am heading to Manchester to visit friends. Packing shorts! Will miss the cricket, as focussed on a certain football club’s last attempt on some silverware this season….
  2. Irene Kral, the Band and I, with Herb Pomeroy. Such a clear strong voice, coasting over a big band. The Ernie Wilkins arrangements are punchy.
  3. Thanks, but that didn’t seem to work for me. There must be somewhere on here familiar with ‘Henry’ and his brilliant website. Shame if it’s no longer easily accessible, there was a mass of detailed information there.
  4. Does anyone know what became of that incredible website henrybebop.co.uk? It was a source of very detailed information on the UK bop jazz scene, with huge amounts of info on the most obscure UK boppers. It seems to have disappeared, such a shame. I was looking up Ronnie Ball and the links are broken. Terrible.
  5. Warne Marsh Ted Brown live in Hollywood 1957. Both on top form. Ted would be 97 now, haven’t seen any updates for a few years since there was a fund raiser for him. Hope he’s keeping OK.
  6. Yes, a great track, reminds me of something off Shepp’s Attica Blues.
  7. Fascinating, thanks for sharing this info David.
  8. Shame Vocalion Dutton gave up on modern jazz. At one stage they had a great British jazz catalogue, excellent production values.
  9. I have the CD edition and I find the sleevenotes unclear about what is new. I think I have worked out that the whole of the second CD is additional to the original release but could be wrong. What is going on with supposed heavily researched releases with extensive interviews with the musicians’ children but totally baffling on the provenance of the music! The lack of discographical info on the recent Miles Davis ‘54 release is similarly annoying. Grumpy of London.
  10. Seems incredible with the number of experts involved in this release (plus extensive sleevenotes, including ‘a great jazz scholar’), that the wrong drummer is listed. Is there a jazz detective in the house?!
  11. So, track 7 will play in my car but track 6 still has glitches and skips towards the end. I’ll send it back (Juno in the UK) see what I get in return…
  12. Nothing to do with fidelity, tracks 6 and 7 of the CD are not playable. Sony portable, Marantz separate. Something has gone wrong here. Do not buy this CD, it’s faulty.
  13. Correct. The tracks are unplayable. Jumping, stuttering, stalling. I’m sending the CD back. Who signed off this Kenny Dorham CD? Where is the quality control. Dreadful. I am requesting a refund. Don’t buy this CD.
  14. Interesting! It does get better after the first couple of tracks though. I must get that Wheeler book.
  15. Now I have listened to it all, Live at Antibes is a cracking CD with some of the best Tubby live I have heard. Great sleeve notes by Mr Spillett. Recommended. Probably should be in new releases section.
