What a damn shame. But he left some very fine music for us to enjoy. He's featured quite prominently on the 'Miles Electric' DVD in an interview and it was very good that they captured his thoughts/impressions on that one. RIP Mr Cosey and I'll pull out the 'Agharta' LPs by way of salute. (Just remembered that he's also on the Phil Cohran 'On The Beach')

I'll have to check my copy but I think it has the same labels. Not sure if there is a DG on one side.

The Royal Scam?

Don Wilkerson 'Shoutin'' (BN NY USA, mono)

One of BAE's finest ! (or should I say - good old English Electric). There was one operational requirement of that aircraft and that was to get up to 40,000 feet in the shortest time possible to intercept Russian Bears & Backfires etc. Fuel consumption of those things was off-the-scale. Remember witnessing lots of sonic booms watching those on display at places like RAF Church Fenton.

The Norwegian folk influence was obviously big - along with the influence of all those Paris impressionistic painters and the Florida plantation/spiritual influence. Having said that, there were compositions (such as that 'Sea Drift') that sound anything but Norwegian or black-American in influence. An enigma ! Interesting that he predated Gershwin by 20 years or so with his black-American influenced opera. Based on this programme and the Ken Russell - egotistical with a very short fuse.

I've not been there but I hear that the National Film Museum in the city centre is worth a trip in itself.

Same here ! I was checking out the location of his birthplace (Claremont, Horton) and it looks to be pretty close to the University, hence the reason for the 'pub next door'. That whole area must have been very up-market back in the Victorian times, with solid villa houses. Lots of German presence at that time in Bradford too, with 'Little Germany' existing to this day. The warehouses that they built were built to last (true to form).

Saw most of the Delius prog and recorded it as well. Pretty good - that 'Delius Lived Next Door' pub in Bradford looked interesting..

2 copies in a year. A veritable avalanche !

Those Esquire EPs are pretty neat John - I have a couple of them (a couple of the McLean's and a Coltrane). Other than the MJQs, they can be pretty rare !

Horace Silver 'The Jody Grind' (BN Liberty mono gatefold)

There's speculation on the 'Jazz Collector' site that that one may potentially be of dubious pedigree. Hard to tell !

Happy Birthday ! :party:

"You work 108 hours more than the annual average for United Kingdom. This is 37 hours more than the OECD average." Slavery !

Everything ever said by Lloyd Grossman

More like communal whipping sessions in the nordic sauna with bunches of birch !

No Lex for you?!? Nah. Beyond my pay grade.

Now spinning 'Jutta Hipp With Zoot Sims' (Toshiba BN)

A strong set, that one.
