Isn't this also used for a Joe Henderson record? An early appearance by Sonelius Smith, who was on all those Strata-East records.

Interesting reading, this thread. Are listening booths really rare over in the States? I love a bricks and mortar record shop. Grazing is probably one of my top three or four things to do. Sadly, space and money issues mean that I am not really a "serious buyer" from these people's perspectives.

I was re-visiting electric blues classics a few months ago, and the Beano record really stood out as an inflexion point in the music.

Roscoe Mitchell And The Note Factory – This Dance Is For Steve McCall I haven't listened to this in too long. It really is one of the greatest. I wonder why it has never been issued on vinyl. It is the right length. Like Lee Konitz, there are always Eero K records you haven't heard of.

K Curtis Lyle - The Collected Poem / For Blind Lemon Jefferson Part two of the "When The Cat's Away" series.

Certainly does. Not sure whether the Barbara Windsor ones are true.

The adjoining neighbour was actually a bouncer in Soho in the early modernist jazz era. I am not sure what he would make of Babi, so I am playing it nice and quietly. He is 83 and very nice but could still make mincemeat of me.

Milford Graves - Babi

The wife and kids are away, and that can only mean one thing: Time for Jeanne Lee's Conspiracy

More Hut over here. Joe McPhee – Graphics What an enjoyable record this is. Rare to have a solo horn record that has this sort of gutsy idiomatic feel.

Very sad news. That ESP record was a big one for me.

I find that I tend to react to it based on my mood (last night I was definitely in the mood for it), but I do think it is very strong. It is one of the few places in which I react well to Mehldau, who is otherwise one of my least favourite jazz musicians.

Lee Konitz - Alone Together

Masahiko Satoh - Yun

Blue Freedom's New Art Transformation

MEV – United Patchwork

Winard Harper – Be Yourself

Oh no! A real favourite of mine. Especially those Intakt duos. RIP

Armonicord - Esprit de Sel Turns out my turntable was okay after all. I am the greatest of the technoidiots.

I'm always interested in the question of what musicians listen to. We all know about Charlie Parker's alleged listening tastes. Caruso and all kinds of distinctly non-bebop music. Genesis P Orridge would supposedly only listen to 60s folk music.

Henry Cow and Slapp Happy – In Praise Of Learning

Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti And Afrika 70 – No Agreement AKA The one with Lester Bowie on it.

Roy Harvey – Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order: Volume 3 (1929-1930)

Could we perhaps change the thread title of the rock thread to "non-jazz non-classical"? Otherwise I can foresee endless proliferation.
