  1. I listed some here though it's not complete: Cheers !
  2. Amazed to see that there are at least a couple of Mosaics on there (I've noticed the Farmer/Golson and the Gerald Wilson !)
  3. Excellent - I'm now sorted. I'll put up with the McDonalds burger ads.
  4. John Cabot Magellan Vasco da Gama
  5. It's like going to the bathroom at a club! What a shame though that you have to join Facebook. I'll pass, unfortunately.
  6. Not bad, to say the least !
  7. A great long life and an excellent musician - RIP. His playing with Mingus was particularly good (especially the Cafe Bohemia recordings). Great picture you posted there, Brownie.

    Vocalion

    Not exactly a ringing endorsement, what's the other half like ?? It's good. One of the tracks ('The Hipster') is a classic - featured on one of the Gilles Peterson compilations and alone is worth the price of admission IMO. Quite a soulful feel to the first album in particular. I'm also a sucker for anything by John Cameron so it was good to hear 'Flue & Nut' too (no doubt the Frank Muir chocolate adverts were on the box when that title was being devised).

    Vocalion

    The Harold McNair CD arrived today - once again, a very great job by Vocalion in putting out the two sessions 'Harold McNair' and 'Flute & Nut'. Very good sound indeed and some nice liner notes by John Cameron on reminiscences re: McNair and Oliver Lomax putting the sessions into perspective with his other recordings. Cameron is featured strongly, of course, in the arrangements for 'Flute & Nut' (which seem to have been pitched for airplay on the Jimmy Young show.. - enjoyable though). I wonder if they can get hold of the master for a reissue of 'Affectionate Fink' (probably not, if they are still owned by Island Records I guess).
  11. Pretty creepy !
  12. Number 5 C3P0 R2D2
  13. This is the Terry Smith album to get
  14. Raymond Burr Ironside Kojak
  15. Mosaic, Blue Note and EMI/Columbia Lansdowne. Honourable mention - Contemporary.
  16. Wonder Woman Lynda Carter Ex-Pres Carter
  17. Yep, no sign of the Blue Parrott or Beppo labels.
  18. Various 'Focus Jazz' (Sonar Kollektif 2LP)
  19. Gordon Beck 'Half A Jazz Sixpence' (Major/Minor, mono)
  20. My 10" LP version looks like this -
  21. Thankfully there was no sudden gust of wind or deluge of rain !
  22. I thought mine sounded better if anything than the Mosaic - will have to check.
  23. Exactly the same situation at Ronnie Scott's a month or so before. Once he got to the piano he was a man on a mission. No Michel Legrand but at the first of the two Scotts gigs I caught, was seated next to (a very silent) Art Garfunkel.
  24. Zola Budd Roy Budd Roy Hudd
  25. I use the Naim Aro, which doesn't even have a cueing device. Took some getting used to ! Old LPs without grooveguard sometimes require a quick dash to sort it out before mayhem starts.
