Have that one. Long time, no listen. Definitely worth dusting off Paul.

Sounds interesting but if I have to join facebook to get it then it's no thanks.

One I'm very fond of.

David Murray's Trio recorded at The Hague in 1988 playing Mr PC, particularly notable for Sunny Murray swinging hard using brushes alone

No luck with ripping, the portable or the dvd player. Still I'm saddened by the loss. I'll be ripping a few other cdrs in the next week or to be on the safe side. it was a recording of a James Blood Ulmer concert with David Murray in London in 1980. Blood introduced the gig by saying 'you're going to hear some new shit tonight'. A subsequent review said that Grant Calvin Weston's drumming was like a road mending machine gone mad.

Many happy returns Mr Jarman. And thanks for all the music.

Today I went to play a self-made cdr which was previously playable but now just a rhythmic noise from my cd player. My laptop reads it as bank disc, my pc spins it but no sound. I remember the horror stories about the limited life of cds/cdrs but this took me by surprise. The disc looks fine, no visible defects. Not sure when I made this disc but ten years ago at least. And I didn't make a copy! It was a recording of a concert I attended which makes the loss worse. Moral, I guess, make a copy of essential stuff.

I still have my London Atlantic copy of this. My jacket looks about as good as yours Tim. I bought mine new so it's had a lot of plays. Great music.

Same here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN

I can recommend his recording with Abdullah Ibrahim. Ford really made a big impression live with Ekaya. Ford can also be heard on Ran Blake's highly praised (Penguin Guide) The Short Life Of Barbara Monk.

Happy Birthday Bob, be nice to get together again one of these days.

Not played in quite a while, one to dig out for later.

I had that record back in my LP days, but I don't remember if it was any good. I've got the LP on the UK 'Charlie Parker Records' label. Budget label Egmont - I think it was - who issued it (located 'Up North' back in the day). I have it too, on Egmont (£0.50p at the local corner shop). Interesting line up with Clark Terry and Bennie Green, Charlie Persip and Ron Carter. Pleasant enough but probably not worth getting too excited about.

John (and everyone reading this), if you can find it, I would highly recommend their seasonal brown ale, "Tumbler". Thanks Jim. SN takes some finding where I am but I'll try to track some down.

Happy Birthday Stephen, have a great day.

UK Jasmine issue

The original Ah Um still sounds great and more or less perfect. So many plays over the years that listening to the unedited versions always sound rather strange.
