he's also in great form on a new Hep CD recorded in 1998 , I had no idea he was (in 1998) still active CD 2087 SPIKE ROBINSON "The CTS Session" with Bill Crow(bs), John Williams(pno), Pete Cater(dms), guesting on acc.gtr Louis Stewart .

New and rather expensive HT release read about this in Jazz Review (UK) , I was intrigued until I saw the price, anyone know if this release is really that good to justify it's price point at nearly three times the norm. edited to spell the man's name right

last summer at a farmers market in Provence ( France) I picked up first edition pressings of Art Blakey Vol. 1 ( at Club St Germain) and Lou Bennet- Amen both on RCA France in NM condition and only 8 euro each. I was pleased.

as it turns out all 4 discs are warped and first tracks on each side skip badly for the first 2-3 mins before settling to a lower grade brushing sound. Although the set was inexpensive I'm gutted.

From my newly arrived disc one from Martial Solal-Live- 1959-1985, sadly there is a warp in the LP which causes hiccups for the first 2 mins on each side,

I got this at the last gasp along with AEC Nessa box ( True Blue promotion), very different from each other but I cope (just) by playing small quantities at a time of the Hamilton. I like most of it even if it's more like diazepam rather than testosterone.

You'll not be disappointed the whole 2 CDs are very strong. The 2nd Joe Henderson set probably edges the one on Disc one. Sound quality is wonderful in very good stereo which is perhaps surprising given it was recorded for radio.

agreed

His Non consensual head compression does it for me both as a title a kicking stuff

this one has really grown on me and is perhaps the one I'd most likely to check out in full.. thanks

fresh out of its shrink wrap... Ira Sullivan- Flying Fish- produced by our CN, perhaps the best Sullivan album i've heard, better certainly than some of Electra dates with Red Rodney( which aren't exactly poor either)

some new vinyl , all cheap Dorothy Ashby- Hip Harp- Prestige Roland Alexander- Pleasure Bent- New Jazz Max Roach - Members don't get weary- Atlantic Tubby Hayes - Introducing...- Epic

I've assumed it was Jenny Clark because it sounds so like the bass work on one of Don Cherry's BN discs ( forget which) in which JC stars.

Recently received the NY-1 Village Vanguard BN disc and wanted to give it a plug, it's really top notch Solal, very good recording sound wise too. Very cheap through amazon.uk market place ( £4.70 total inc postage to UK) On it's way to me is a Solal 4 LP set called Live 59- 85 or something, Brownie mentioned this I think but otherwise I've no idea what'll be on these LPs

I got mine 2 days ago and have played disc 1 repeatedly but only just this morning moved on to disc 2. The Clifford Jordan session on disc 1 is superb. Freshly minted hard bop of the highest order. Jordan is majesterial and the rest of the gang well up to the task. Clearly well rehearsed, beautifully recorded. Swings like mad. Pianist plays some really off the wall electric piano- love it. thanks

I'll buy the Leo Parker RVG. I've held off buying any of the Spanish BNs. I've so many BN Cds that the last thing I need is bizarre looking blue CD

good point

No time to make a comprehensive list right now. I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow night/Friday morning. I will compile a detailed one (not very long) when I return. I'll be back on the 20th. It would be wise to remind me at that time. ←

The liners mention Jack Towers doing early transfers, he's no slouch either. Out of interest did Ted K travel to the discs or did some one put them in a jiffy bag and mail them to him.?? I often been curious how these rare artefacts are handled.

Jim As you have no red flag symptoms I'm not sure you really need to see a Dr at this point. I see loads of patients with acute mechanical back pain and it settles down usually with the advice I outlined above. Physio can be helpful if you're not getting moving after say 5-7 days. trust me I'm a Dr.....really adrian

Analgesia- Paracetamol ( +/- codeine, plus anti-inflammatory ( ibuprofen etc.) Keep moving Local heat ( heat rubs, hot bath) If muscle spasm really severe consider diazepam (see Dr) Time and more time.... Patience.... unlikely anything too serious

His sound was quite distinctive as was one I really liked. RIP, love Plectrist and his sides with Konitz Any followers, Liberty Ellman perhaps , any others ?

could the pianist be Dodo, so this could be a west coast club in 1946 ?

there are plenty of mentions elsewhere but Ballede du 10 Mars- Soul Note Triangle Vogue Vol 1-3 (there's a fourth I don't have yet) At Newport- RCA Bluesine -Soul Note all highly recommended as are his sides with Lucky Thompson (Candid, Highnote, etc) and Lee Konitz highly individual pianist

does the Herb Pomeroy Orchestra belong here too ??
