I'm sure we've all met these people but in my experience it's far more common for people interested in audio equipment to also be very interested in music. P.S. Absolutely in awe of Charlieboy's collection. Sure you can only listen to one set of gear at a time but if you have the space and the cash why not enjoy? Do I really need a dozen Monk live albums? Probably not. Who cares.

I think you're right. Luckily I get the same thrill from seeing what I can snag for a couple of quid. While everyone else at the record fair is looking at the trophy records on the wall I'm afraid I head straight for the box under the table...

Nuts. DMMs used to be a tenner a pop (because, we were told, they all sound terrible. hmm.) now seem to be £20+ I guess Search For The New Land is a less common title (at least it is over here) ...but $75?!

No not exactly lost - and as as pointed out in a previous thread, already available as a bootleg. Great that it's getting a proper release though, presumably in higher fidelity.

Why is it only Jimmy Rowles that has legs? How will the other pianists operate the pedals?

It still runs through a mixer of some kind though surely. Just means it has to be mixed in real time (and there's obviously no opportunity to go back and edit takes).

Gutted to learn of this today. I came to his music probably a lot later than many board members but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see him play so many times in London over the past decade - just a joy to behold. Thank you Barry. A life very well lived.

Alan Tomlinson in the UK.

Bobby Timmons? I think of as more gospel-y soul-y but would seem to fit with the list above.

Is this strictly an improv thread or improv and jazz? A few more suggestions from the UK: More mainstream - Nérija, Seed Ensemble, Kokoroko (all of whom share band members) More improvy - Cath Roberts, Hannah Marshall, Ute Kanngeisser, Sue Lynch, Charlotte Keeffe, Sylvia Hallett, Angharad Davies

Timely revival of this thread. I found a nice UK mono copy of On My Way & Shoutin' Again! yesterday for a quid Listening to it has reminded me I have very little Basie so intrigued to see what else folk suggest...

That's great! I was just thinking at the weekend how he was one of the greats I hadn't managed to catch yet...

Longtime lurker :-) I never realised RR was previously a branch of Honest Jons - thanks for posting the article. I spent many happy Saturday mornings rifling through the racks downstairs!
