I'm very sorry to hear this. Always liked his arrangements for Quincy Jones and the 'Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess' LP has long been a favourite. RIP.

Need to add Wales to the zone of coverage for crazed rugby morons..

Must be something in the water out there..

No Mosaic email for me yet.. (special European slow-boat service)

JJ Johnson's various trombones look pretty good too. I'm sure he was playing that Yamaha last time I saw him.

Message to self - I really must invest in a new PC which can copy disks instead of buying more Mosaics..

I would be on the case right now for tooter but I don't have CD copying capability I'm afraid. Very sorry...

It will almost certainly have the copy protection - the last few RVG series over here have had this, sad to say. For this reason I rarely buy them as my CD player throws a wobly and I'm too stingy to pay Naim to modify the software

And HMV too ! I think I might have seen one of these 'Basra's' on Saturday in London. At the time my mind was diverted by the sight of a Duke Pearson 'The Phantom' CD on Water and I have a vinyl of Basra anyway.

Woody's problems were with 'retinitis pigmentosa' I believe. Deteriorated significantly in the last few years of his life. Other additions to the list: Chris Anderson Eddie Thompson

Just got mine ! Some good stuff on those 2 disks, many thanks. It arrived at same time as the T-Bone Mosaic from porcy62 so there's competition to secure the 'window of opportunity' on the CD player ! :rsmile:

There's also 'The Chill of Death' from 'Let My Children Hear Music' but I guess that one was a spoken word collaboration with himself. Does 'Passions of Man' count?

'Basra' vinyl futures just went up today !

I had a good chat with Gabriele Mirabassi at last year's Bath Festival after his performance as he sipped a well-earned beer. Very nice guy and his English is fine. He'd just been working with Kenny Wheeler and it was interesting to hear about that (sounded like total chaos). Superb clarinetist by the way. The performance I saw was with his clarinet/accordion duo group, well worth seeing.

Bill Clinton on the stage at Ronnies? Mr Scott would be rolling in his grave.. By the way, some of the best music ever at the club must have been played around the time they almost went bankrupt and Chris Blackwell bailed them out. Those were the days when, as a student, you could get a seat at the front near the piano for a stonking £1 a night ! I remember paying that to see Woody Shaw two nights in succession.

Hank rules !

No problem, Dmitry. That site is a treasure-trove of CBBB information. Yes, 'The Jamfs are coming' it is. If my memory is correct, 'Jamf' is a 'term of endearment' used by Johnny Griffin. B-)

Still waiting for caiman to say that they have shipped the £37 Tal set. I'll cut them some slack for the time being..

Mmm, dill sauce. What was the base? Peter - incredibly easy. Just melt a blob of butter and mix with chopped fresh garlic and add the dill.

You just beat me to it. Recorded 29th Oct 1969 according to this mighty fine site: Clarke/Boland Discog

One for the 'patina' fetishists..

Looks like if you do want to buy it from these guys its £83 from the marketplace seller in Germany ! Or you can trade up to the second-hand one at £195

I thought 'Agro' Mosaics came from those $11 Malaysian cowboys..

Grilled greek sea bass in a dill sauce last night. Yum ! B-) Hey, I'm a 'Master'....

Michael Garrick Sextet 'Black Marigolds' (Argo) with Joe Harriott, Ian Carr and poetry.. Great performance by Michael at the Barbican on Saturday, absolutely full of energy and enthusiasm.
