runsgood99 must have come into an inheritance !

Have given the concert performance quite few airings. That first number of the set is funky beyond belief - they hit the high point from the outset. Just love Dave Holland's 'in the groove' electric bass playing on this one (and he looks like he's having a blast too..). There's also some photos of Miles taken on the afternoon of the IoW concert in Richard Williams' 'Man In The Green Shirt' book. Beautiful weather by all accounts that day (for once the English weather held up.. ).

Miles Davis 'Amandla' (Warner Brothers). Brings back great memories of seeing the man himself perform much of this stuff back in 1990..

Have a great one !

Does this LP count?

Came to the same conclusion. I will look out for the cards of the Kenny Burrell, Dexter and Grant Green though and stock up big time when I see them.

Just time to sneak this one in (OJC)

I've just dusted it off, along with all of the other Miles Mosaics so this one is next up on deck. Currently spinning Paul Desmond 'From The Hot Afternoon' Japanese A&M after levelling my LP12..

Channel 4 recently ran a TV documentary about Jarrett with lots of participation from him (and with input from biographer Ian Carr). There was an excerpt of the original version he taped for his wife of 'The Melody at Night With You'. Sounded stunning. Amazing stuff considering his level of incapacitation at the time. Recorded in couple-of-minute bursts apparently.

I could not have said this better myself, Jazzbo. The 'Hymns Spheres' 2LP set is a stunning achievement, sounds awesome if you have a decent turntable (check out the resonances when he pulls those stops out) and that introductory hymn is an immensely moving piece of work.

Truly sorry to hear this. Always enjoyed reading his contributions on both this board and the BNBB, a real enthusiast. RIP Ken.

From this side of the pond - Peter King and Derek Humble.

I see from the reports that ex-German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was amongst the tourists who were rescued in Sri Lanka.

It's track 5 (can't recall the title at the current time) which really impresses me. Incredible interplay between Hutcherson, Green and Patton, almost like passing the baton in a relay race. Quite rightly, Big John gets the honours with a great second solo before the lead out. Also Big John's very supportive backing to the soloists is superb. An amazing track, perfection really..

Nice to see this thread brought up again. Incredible fireworks between Patton and Grant Green on this session. Interesting though to compare this version of 'The Yodel' with the version on Grasella Oliphant's 'Grass Is Greener' LP. The Grassela version is very worthwhile but with nowhere near the same level of drive and impact. Atlantic's low-level recording also doesn't do it too many favours. 'Let Em Roll' has been in very heavy rotation on my car CD player. For my money that one is probably Patton's very best for Blue Note. Gets better every time I hear it - a masterpiece.

Yep, that's the one. I have a free 'spot' on the lounge wall for the 'Unity' framed print and a Habitat 10% off voucher so will probably put in an order for this one.

Have a great one, with lots of good music (hopefully)

Well, no shipping insurance (mandatory at this sort of price level if you ask me), no payment method other than cash transfer, no seller history....

Noticed this one from a seller in Columbia with no previous history and no paypal/bidpay on offer. One for the truly brave/foolhardy/reckless perhaps? Tina Brooks LP

Art Farmer 'Modern Art'. Original UA stereo pressing. Sublime ! Just listened to my avatar recording. Henry Lowther Band 'Child Song' on Deram. An obscure but wonderful British jazz classic. One of the old BBC radio jazz programmes ('Jazz Today', I think) used to use one of the tracks ('Travelling Song') as a theme tune. Always liked this one. Next on deck it will be the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland 'Sextet' 2LP set on Rearward.

I'll second the comment about Euclid. I've had several packages of LPs shipped to over here in England and there's never been a problem. Lots of bubble wrap, very securely packed. Some good stuff acquired from Euclid - original vinyl of 'Impressions of a Patch of Blue', 'Unity', 'Capuchin Swing' and 'Delighfulee' to name but four. None of them mint but the condition was well up to scratch. Always a pleasure to deal with Euclid.. :rsmile:

In the process of doing my post-Xmas sale shopping yesterday I noticed that the 'Habitat' store here in the UK was doing mounted prints of 3 Reid Miles items and that they were also on sale. B-) The 3 titles are Tina Brooks 'True Blue', Kenny Dorham 'Trompeta Toccata' and Sonny Clark 'Trio'. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as these were displayed amongst the usual Habitat prints of jars of fruit, seascapes, floral scenes etc. Sale price for these mounted prints (which look pretty damn good) is £9 each. A further suprise awaited me when I checked out the furniture section upstairs. There on display was a 1m x 1m matted and framed wall print of Larry Young 'Unity'. Not part of the sale unfortunately - £140 and part of their 'standard' range at the present time. Looking at the prints (which are more than acceptable) I suspect that they are taken from the Marsh/Callingham 'Blue Note Cover Art' book. I came out with a Tina Books and a Kenny Dorham (passed on the Clark as it was a 'Liberty' era cover ) Might be of interest to anyone in the UK posting fraternity who has a spare wall to cover up. There's also Reid Miles greetings cards on sale at branches of Waterstones. About £2 each. About half a dozen titles available including 'Unity', 'The Turnaround', 'True Blue', 'Sonny Clark Trio' and one of the Jimmy Smith titles. Wonder if and when they will be covering the likes of Grachan Moncur 'Some Other Stuff' and Tyrone Washington 'Natural Essence'. Spring collection, possibly?..

Big John Patton 'Oh Baby !' Blue Note NYC stereo pressing.

What time should I be over? There's still about half of it left in the fridge !
