Hi Bob, didn't see you in Totnes . It was a really splendid gig, well played by everybody - with all the the summer's previous performances under their belt. Hi there Frank ! Glad it went well, circumstances totally conspired against me. It would have required an impossibly long & fast drive after work in poor weather to make the 7.30 start and I heard that night that the Totnes by-pass had been closed off due to an accident so maybe it's just as well I didn't actually set off. Will definitely plan on seeing another Westbrook show this year though. Did they reprise the numbers from 'Citadel/Room 315'? That was a highlight of the gig that I saw.

Very shocked by this news. Thanks for posting, Christiern.

poltergeist?

Yusef Lateef 'The Golden Flute' (Impulse orange/black, stereo)

Must be Daniel Humair then..

That one and the 'Togo Brava Suite' nearly made my cut. A tough choice. I wonder if HRH stores the master next to her Mobley and Braxton Mosaics?

Gabor Szabo 'More Sorcery' (Impulse red/black, stereo)

Oliver Nelson 'Blues & The Abstract Truth' (UK Impulse 70s black label, stereo)

Homer Marge Krusty

Robin Day Batman Al Kooper

Afro Bossa Far East Suite Ellington at Newport And His Mother Called Him Bill Concert In The Virgin Islands

Paul Raymond Debbie Raymond Peter Stringfellow

How about that Helen Merrill 'Mixes'? One LP with Merrill and band (early 70s vintage), the other LP full of early bop sides (Getz, Dave Lambert etc).

Good reminder - time to dig out the 'Insight' CBS LP. Nice playing from David Snell on this one too - 'the Casper Reardon of British modern jazz?'

Shirley Bassey Cerys Matthews Max Boyce

You won't have any problems with the sound of the Turrentine - it is fine !

Big fan of Mr Priester here - never heard a bad note from him. Fortunate enough once to hear him live in Alberta when he made the short flight up from Seattle. Wonder when ECM will finally get round to reissuing 'Polarization'?

Arthur Haley George Hailey Hayley Mills

It was a BBC Radio 1 'featured single' back in 1976, believe it or not. Almost made TOTP ! I even still have the 45rpm single somewhere.

Gary Oldman Smiley Smiley Culture

Sneeked that one in before the devaluation of the Swiss zlotty then ! Maybe some of us can now go skiing next year..

It's damned good - certainly good enough for me to also snap up a Japanese reissue vinyl as well, when I came across it. $39 is a bit steep though !

That 'Collectors Disk' bonus CD was the last one I picked up - about $10. Yusef Lateef's 'Before Dawn' seems to remain elusive (picked it up shortly after it came out and it disappeared faster than a Gadaffi- in-hiding).

Mr Crapper Mr Shanks Bill Shankley

Well, the Japanese have already issued that one so there is hope. Give it 50 years (2018?) and if it has not come out by then maybe I will do my own issue.
