i use it often to look up sessions I've never heard of, hoping to discover track listings, personnel etc. IMO it's now much harder to find specific entries than it used to be.

I've been watching the Tour with greater than usual interest year. Having fallen off my bike last year on the Aubisque with serious consequences that I'm still living with, I take my hat off to the skill of the Tour riders. The day after my fall I managed the Tourmalet, Aspin and Peyresourde despite having lost some power in my left hand. The tortuous descent of the Peyresourde in the mist and rain was nearly the end of me. I hope none of the riders fall off on Wednesday.

Gene Quill - 3 Bones and a Quill (Vogue- UK )- great set in very nice sound

Ornette Coleman-Crisis- (ABC)- may take time to digest this one , just found at a small local record fair

grrrhhhh......I think the Turks or the ancient Egyptians were responsible for the bagpipes...

Scottish twins Tom and Phil Bancroft ( drums and tenor sax)

Once you hear the word from Bird there is no sampler CD or Lp that can keep you satisfied.

given the Lacy thing Jeff has going , got this one out Steve Lacy - Prospectus- hatArt --

I don't have this music in this release or the 2CD edition. Is your interest sustained over the whole set or is the 2CD set a reasonable "best of" ?

I don't know. It plays OK for me F thanks for posting this link, the clip sounded great, it would be nice to hear the whole thing, wonder if we ever will

Kenny Clarke and Ernie Wilkins- London

followed by Waldron's Left Alone Live - (West 54)- 1980 reissue.

I'd forgotten this one, it was my first exposure to any of the musicians on the session. It's very good.

There doesn't appear to be a general Oliver Lake thread so upping this one looking for recommendations. I have an enjoy Talkin' Stick, Trio Transition feat Oliver Lake, Expandable Language. He seems to have issued a fair number of releases in the past 2 decades. Any particular recommendations ??

I've noticed that all the electric Miles albums sound great on vinyl , the energy is immense from Bitches Brew, to Dark Magus or Live-Evil

Wadada was interviewed last night on BBC Jazz on 3 - not managed to listen yet but should be interesting, Ken Vandermark is the interviewer.

Vol 3 European Trends ( TCB) rec 1972 -1979 by Radio Zurich, includes Karl Berger, Albert Mangelsdorff, Enrico Rava etc

Not heard any Hal Russell, so this reissue might well be a good place to start

Managed to spin first two disc of set No. 422 , very impressed by the excellent transfers.

any news regarding Sunny's wellbeing ?

I've limited my Toshibas in recent years to those I simply couldn't source any other legitimate way. The few I have seem ok. Two recent Cannonball Adderley Toshibas struck me as being in very good sound ( Live ! and Accent on Africa) but then I've heard no other editions.

Well shiver me timbers! Just ordered it from the Jazz Record Center-for top dollar, I'm sure, but hey, it's Wes-and saints need to get paid. Well, Rommel did wander the Western Desert shouting "Wes Montgomery!" ROFL !!!, so bad it's good

I sent him a card of one of my photos at the weekend but I guess he might not get it if he moves on tomorrow. Get well soon !!!

How's this one, I love Crown of Creation and the UK version of Surrealistic Pillow slightly less
