Yazz Ahmed ‘La Saboteuse’ (Naim)

Plus an interesting trio version of ‘Avotcja’, which first appeared on Lee Morgan’s ‘Taru’.

I use a Naim phono stage with my MC cartridge on Linn LP12. Very happy with it - it needs careful matching for impedance though, which is done via either standard or custom matched resistive and capacitive loads, which you plug into the back of the unit.

Thanks for the advisory on that. I listened to the Shaw a bit earlier and it took me right back to seeing this band live, some months after this recording, I will consider picking up the LP version, if I can find it at the right price. I have ‘Blackstone’ on a white label Contemporary vinyl

3LP RSD pressing

Damn good !

Thanks, both of those are on my shortlist along with the Diz ! Just noticed that they are all on Spotify so time to sample..

She sounds like a great lady - RIP.

I’m going to have to do a bulk order of these Uncle Po disks.

Today’s nice find. Mint copy minus OBI of this Disk Union release from 1988..

Golden rule - demo at home and let your ears decide.

Their South Coast appearance was good too.

The Cookers, Turner-Sims Southampton (2016 I think but so good I will sneak this one in) Magnus Ostrom, Turner-Sims Laura Jurd & Dinosaur, Turner-Sims Mike Gibbs Orchestra, Turner-Sims Pat Metheny Quartet, Barbican, London JF Alan Barnes Octet ‘Fish Tales’, Swanage Gilad Atzmon Orient House plus Alan Barnes ‘Lowest Common Denominator’, Swanage Clark Tracey/Dave Newton Octet ‘Bootleg Eric Suite’ Swanage Arun Ghosh Quintet, Swanage

and the best sonic version of that one is in the Mosaic set.

So sorry to hear this very sad news - RIP.

Late Merry Xmas to all !

Neil Swainson’s ‘49th Parallel’ on Concord is one of his best latter sessions. In fact I first heard that one around the time of hearing the sad news of his passing. Not that much of a fan of ‘Bemsha Swing’ either.
