T.D.

Thanks! This is rather cool. Kenny Wheeler plays on side A. Jeff Clyne on bass.

There's not enough time to keep up with everything, I don't feel bad about being unaware. Not inclined to investigate after reading the foregoing discussion.

I agree with this.

Pleasant surprise to see Henry Lowther on this.

RIP. Interesting guy. I always assumed he was Italian, never bothered to research. As an actor he had pretty much one routine, but did it very well.

Off-topic, but I also admire Rob Schneiderman because he's about my age (b. 1957) and became a mathematician as a nearly middle-aged man (B.A. 1994, Ph. D. 2001). He now has an academic career. 👍

And widespread online per Google.

Thanks, I very likely would enjoy it. I discovered Schneiderman through his Reservoir releases. First one was Dark Blue, an old-fashioned straight-ahead hard bop quintet (incl. Ralph Moore and Brian Lynch) but I was stunned by how good it sounded. I also have and can vouch for the Reservoir releases Back in Town (trio), Glass Enclosure (quartet w. Chas. McPherson) and Radio Waves (hard bop sextet also w. Moore and Lynch). I've long intended to get more of his recordings, but like many other things I haven't gotten around to it. Last month's BFT renewed the idea of trio sessions.

I've also seen that in several places. Not at home, else I'd check Szwed. Gotta be online too, but I'll leave it for the OP to google.

This does look good. I like Schneiderman and didn't know of the recording (Concord is a label I rarely think about, so no wonder).

I posted this a couple of times in recent years: https://thequietus.com/articles/29717-carla-bley-interview Most recent (2020) informative interview I've been able to find; she seems to have been rather private. Had been ill for quite a while, brain surgery (cancer) c. 2018. RIP.

I saw "Reddit" and stopped paying attention. Signal-to-noise ratio = 0.

I just preordered through Dusty Groove, which saves a bundle on US shipping. $31.99 for a 300+ page book featuring Guy, Tippett and Westbrook plus 2 CDs has to be worth a punt.

Damn. I only recently discovered that Arts Society of Kingston has been having concerts, but forgot to bookmark their page. 😢

Thanks, Mark. Great material and congratulations to Mr. Porter for digging it up.

I'm always behind, but just noticed this book+2CD from JIB: https://jazzinbritain.co.uk/merch/pre-order-and-did-those-feet-six-british-jazz-composers-by-duncan-heining-includes-two-cds-of-previously-unreleased-music-not-available-separately And Did Those Feet… examines in depth the lives and work of six British jazz composers – Michael Garrick, Mike Gibbs, Barry Guy, John Mayer, Keith Tippett and Mike Westbrook. Each of these musicians began their careers in jazz in the 1960s, years of artistic and political ferment and upheaval. Music historian Duncan Heining locates those beginnings in the context of changing times and shows how these composers’ work continued to develop whilst remaining influenced by values that continued to be informed by social and cultural concerns. Comments? I'm seriously interested in preorder, subject to any caveats brought up here. Thanks.

After long fence-sitting I finally ordered the Krakow 2020 box. This has two discs of larger ensemble pieces, which I really like, versus one for the Krakow 2018 set. Might still consider the latter at some point.

Thanks. I've gotten all Pfizer so far w/o bad side effects and am avoiding Moderna because I know a number of people who had rough experiences. BTW, I had my first shingles shots over the past year (just turned 66), and those (it's 2 installments) really knocked me for a loop.

More on #12: The Message from the Tribe album posted above had three releases. The first version does not contain #12: side A is three tunes from what was released as Wendell Harrison's An Evening with the Devil, and side B is three tunes shared with later releases of Message from the Tribe. The two subsequent versions of Message from the Tribe added five more tunes. The third version consisted of remixes of the second version. I don't know if the three tunes shared by the first 2 versions used the same mixes. Harrison's An Evening with the Devil was the first Tribe album I acquired, so I purchased "version 2" of Message from the Tribe (cover pictured upthread) to avoid duplication and get more music. I'm not compulsive enough to have picked up versions 1 or 3.
