Interesting. It has something of a 'cult' following over here too but until the Vocalion CD came out it was pretty obscure. The 'Love/Dreams Variations' that Bev suggests is a good suggestion (I've never heard it !) - even more obscure I think. I would also throw into the mix the extremely enjoyable 'Solid Gold Caddilac' LPs ('Solid Gold Caddilac' and 'Brain Surgery').

They have Barbara Woodhouse dog-training LPs?

Amancio D'Silva 'Cosmic Eye Dream Sequence' (Regal Zonophone). Rare Brit jazz-rock with a psych edge from the early 70s. Paul Buckmaster/Chitinous Ensemble 'Chitinous' (Deram/Dutton Vocalion). More rare Brit jazz-rock - some of the ideas found their way onto 'On The Corner'. Ian Carr/Don Rendell Quintet 'Change Is' (UK Columbia LP/BGO CD reissue). The last of the Rendell-Carr albums and one that tends to get overlooked. John Surman/John Warren 'Tales of the Algonquin' (Deram/Vocalion). Surman in Imperial form with a stellar big band arranged by John Warren. Mike Westbrook 'Love Songs' (Deram/Vocalion). Mike apparently hates it. I beg to differ. Just the tip of the iceberg. I could reel off 100 more..

Good one !

No. Ronnie Scott's these days, I think. Plus very active in London gig promotion.

Makes the likes of Bath and Cheltenham this year look like a joke !

Eddie Condon in Condon's?

For most of the 2000s - at least from when they were located at Foyles (they were located in the same area as the Cafe at that time and not on the 3rd floor where they are now). Not sure before that.

Have a great birthday Rodney ! :party:

Before this returns - a lovely couple of days weather this weekend. At least the grass is growing nicely again, thanks to all this rain. Back to the deluge tomorrow by the look of it..

Pretty cool !

Cannonball Adderley 'Cannonball and Eight Giants' (Milestone/Musidisk 2LP)

Elvin Jones 'Genesis' (Music Matters 2x45rpm) Wow ! Perfectly good as the sound of the Mosaic set is, this is in another league. The definitive issue of 'Genesis'.

I'm sure I saw the Brew Moore for sale in Fopp a while ago at £3 but I guess it will have gone from there now. Worth checking your local Fopp Bill !

Great news !

I'm in this for the music and the music on this one is transcendent. I have both the Taylor CD's but of the two, Pendulum is clearly the keeper. Of course the fact that he died at such a young age and left such a tiny recorded legacy has to make these outings all the more valuable. I find it hard to choose between the two Mike Taylor albums, although 'Trio' has the edge I think (personal view). Both are astonishingly good - just imagine what he could have gone on to achieve if he had kept his mind.

'Metronome Presents Jazz In The Garden' (Japanese Warwick, mono) Teddy Charles with Mal Waldron, Booker Ervin and Booker Little. Great one ! That LP gets lots of play here.

Thought Paul P's place was extremely orderly compared with the 'rat house' that dominated the show. Strewth !

It would be a 'yes' from me. I wish they would go back to replicating on vinyl some of the CD-only sets as they did in the past - although the realist in me says that isn't going to happen, with the business environment as it is. I haven't got any of the recent LP sets such as the Monk, Ella or Getz, so these are on my list.

Big fan here of his playing on Lee Morgan's 'Sonic Boom' - although quite a few don't seem to like this session. This particular Fathead compilation of the Atlantic stuff provides a good overview:
