Great work - this will hopefully allow me to participate a bit more than I have been able to in the last few years. I totally hear you re: the 'day job' issue.
Sounds like an endorsement of the vinyl. If I see this set in the local store today I'll probably pick it up.
Sam Rivers - Dedication Series (Impulse 2LP)
Very sad to hear of this - was just listening to him the other day on Horace Silver's 'The Tokyo Blues'. That was a magnificent performance by any standard, on a cracking LP.
Some very fine work with Quincy Jones and the CBBB as well - RIP.
Hungerford Bridge - just outside the RFH. I might well have passed him on that spot in the 1980s without registering who it was.
One of his last UK tours was in a skip !
Looking at that blurred cover I was wondering if it could be the other side of Gerald Wilson's 'Alive and Swinging' LP on World Pacific so have pulled that one out for a check - the back is completely different. Doesn't look like any of the Jack Wilson albums either that I'm familiar with.
