Sold mine to Mole Jazz for £2 decades ago. Been kicking myself ever since ! Lived there once.

Speedy recovery and good health to Mr Rollins !

Lots of Andorran stuff on there. Interestingly, many of these titles are also being marked down significantly on the Jazz Messengers site too.

Garry Bushell White Van Man Mr Angry

UK RCA pressing - bought by me back in '75. 'Up From The Skies' is easily the best arrangement on here. Fortunately I got to see Gil play it about 5-6 years later.

Have a great one ! :party:

Indeed - looks depressing. Wouldn't mind seeing Vasen on the Monday - you don't often get Scandinavian folkies over here but not worth the trip. Has Nod Knowles gone? I know he went to a more overall position. He seemed to be the enthusiast for the unusual in my years there. Bring back the alphorns! Yes - I think his association with the Festival ended a couple of years ago. That was probably the straw that broke the camel's back as far as jazz was concerned, plus no doubt BANES (Bath and North East Somerset Council) is strapped for cash. I suspect much of the driving force and organisational commitment went after the nice lady who was his assistant on the jazz side of things passed away (tragically young as well) a year or two before that. Maybe this new Festival to be held in Bristol can pick things up? Alternatively, we could do a "Charles Mingus Newport Rebels" and start one up.. http://www.bathpavilion.org/hire-bath-pavilion

Very disappointing lineup for Bath this year. Norma Winstone's Trio at the Guildhall should be brilliant (and a fitting location for this group) but otherwise there's nothing to grab me. No 'jazz weekend' again either - RIP the Pavilion.

Just cracking this one open..

There was a time when CDs in Canada were much cheaper than the UK and pretty well anywhere else but the US. What happened over there?

Or whatever they use as 'Nads'

Nice to see this one coming out - I have pretty well all of it on vinyl plus quite a few of the Fontanas also on CD so I'll pass. Would like to check out Simon's sleeve notes though.

How does the sound compare with the Mosaic Single, jazzbo?

As for me, it's pensioners' rate of £14 with a £1 tip to the hairdresser. 10£ here but 2 £ tip !!! About £15 here, so 'Mosaic Single' territory. In a unisex salon too and cut by some lovely young ladies with cup of coffee or tea as part of the deal ! good deal. For me 9£ by young lady but without tea Shampoo and conditioner too with hair-fondle, as part of the deal. Beat that !
