His playing on the various Quincy Jones Orchestra albums of the early 60s is fabulous (compiled in the Quincy Jones Mosaic box). Also very highly recommended if you get the chance to see it is that NDR Jazz Workshop film from the late 1960s which has him with Gato Barbieri and Jimmy Owens, among others.

Prawn cocktail for starters? And Arctic Log for desert.

Reinier Prince Rainier Windy Miller

Interesting - he's got some UK gigs coming up shortly so good timing.

Best wishes from me too !

Sandy Brown & His 'Gentlemen Friends' 'Hair At Its Hairiest' (Fontana, stereo) Where else can you hear George Chisholm with Kenny Wheeler and John McLaughlin ?!

Just shows that there's no such thing as a 'free lunch'. Same thing goes for retiring to Greece, I guess.

And up until recently the property porn shows on TV were peddling this place as a great place to buy a holiday pad. Jeez !

Teacher Mrs Teacher Smiffy

Ooo - that's one Blue Mitchell original that still eludes me.

TV hard drive set for just about everything on BBC4 tonight. Haven't seen the Brubeck yet !

Seems to be a common phenomenon to find charity shops with budles of Herman, Ellington, Basie etc. albums. Last bundle I came across was some Singers Unlimited albums - but I'm not a particular fan, unfortunately. Where are all of those Blakey, Andrew Hill and Tina Brooks charity shop bundles?

Does the symbol on the LHS mean that this LP is a dog?

It's getting to the stage in my neck of the woods that there are more vinyl places than 'serious' CD outlets ! (Tesco etc. excluded)

All the best !
