Nice find ! I'm a sucker for those old magazines (at least the Brit equivalents) myself. Stick them in a binder and you can build up a good reference resource.

Oh dear..

Shame on me - I've still got to crack open the Chu Berry Mosaic.

Don't worry. It will be back in print as a bionic implant in about a decade or so.

Graham Collier Music - 'Jazz Illustrations' (Oxford University Press). Harry Beckett, Derek Wadsworth, Ed Speight in the band.

And there's me thinking that this would be a thread about home pianos and synths !

Try to get hold of that 'Jazzwise' DVD of the Collier band at the Derby Fest a few years ago, in a lineup in which Harry Beckett is prominently featured. About 20 minutes of the disk (which covers what was on at Derby that year) is of the Collier band. I'll be digging it out today. Also - to get a better feel for the later works Jazz Library on BBC Radio 3 currently has the full Collier interview up for listening - essential stuff. Will be putting in my order for the new BGO compilation. All of those are really fine - good sound and very informative notes.

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday !

I have an Esquire of that one. Nice session !

Sad news. There's a good video snippet of him on one of the OGWT videos with Kevin Ayres and Lol Coxhill from around 1972.

Sad news, RIP. Yes, very influential in Pentangle and other groups. Another very sad passing from over here today - along with the news of Graham Dilley.

Wish they would put the Stuff Smith on there !
