That one's been running since at least 1975 !

Talk about strange space/time continuum overlaps !

More likely Madrigal Parlours..

Fidel Mao Che

Wayne Shorter 'Odyssey of Iska' (BN Liberty blue/white, stereo) Under-rated !

I've always thought that cover design was damned cool - and the music inside it just as good.

Why the heck did they convert that place into another damned boutique hotel and gut most of the place out? What a waste..

I have all 3 of these LPs and they get regular plays. The Strata-East is particularly good.

MJQ Complete Atlantic Studio - CD2

Looking at it, it's actually the PO handling fee - although the sticker says UK Border Agency. £8 just for the priviledge of having the box opened ! At least I must count my blessings that the sets at least arrived in one piece.

R & J Kuhn 'Impressions of New York' (Impulse black/white promo)

Sun Ra Batman Boy Blunder

One area where their commitment and competence are not in question. Indeed !

My set is numbered #3070 so this one must be selling really well !

Celine Dion KD Lang Alannah Myles

My Lester set has finally arrived (along with the MJQ set). What a fine job Mosaic did with the Young/Basie - lovely big booklet full of great photos. The bigger and more recent MJQ set by contrast - although it sounds fantastic - has a scimpier booklet with a less robust cover. Sign of the times I guess ! And the damn border agency dinged me with EU import charges.

I've yet to see Simon's band but hope to catch them this year, as well as over-dosing as usual on Barnsey .

Totally agree. Those Weekends were a chance to sample new music outside the usual 'zone of comfort' as well as some International 'names', in a relaxed environment and (with the jazz season pass) done in an affordable manner. The Mike Westbrook Big Band is doing 2 concerts in Newton Abbott in a couple of weeks time, so I know where I'm off to this year (and it won't be rubbernecking at the Roman Baths ).

Hmm - "Stakeholder" analysis, leading to target-driven marketing strategy..

Garrett FitzGerald Mike FitzGerald Fitzcarraldo

I was wondering that - yet some of the best Festivals at Bath took place during the 1990-93 period, which was just as recessionary as now and with just as much pressure on the public purse. Plus - they were actually willing to take chances with their bookings.

Just been looking at the lineup for Bath this year - to say that it is 'patchy' would be an understatement. Was hoping that they might still be doing the jazz 'season ticket' concession but according to the web site the best you can get is a miserly 25% off one of the concerts if you attend the Courtney Pine and the big band gig. The Cheltenham disease has now extended down the A46 via Chipping Sodbury. Very sad.

Tristram Hunt James Hunt Emmerson Fittipaldi

Sad news - RIP. Over recent years, I think I caught him in performance with bands led by Don Weller and Harry Beckett.

Have a great one Evan ! :party:
