Check out the other thread re: Fletcher Henderson Chronological Classics FS (nothing to do with me but just noticed it).

(expletive deleted - throws up ) Congrats !

How about we contract another banana boat NYC to Bristol?

Clubcard points too?

"Tesco supermarkets sells limited run Cecil Taylor 10CD set". You couldn't make it up !

Sans distortion? Will have to dig out my copy today.

Funilly enough I saw a copy of this very box for sale here in the UK today and didn't know what it was - but was impressed with the size if it. :blush2: I remember seeing a note on the front door of Mole Jazz's place in Grays Inn Road back in the day apologising for the delay/'balls-up' with what must have been the initial run of the box.

Big favourite of mine, Bill. Saw George Coleman with that very band at Ronnies either the week before or the week after they did that recording for Wim Wigt at Timeless. Remember them playing the tune 'Amsterdam After Dark'. What a great band !

Grab it ('Flare Up') ASAP before it goes out of print. It took nearly 40 years to reissue it last time. Superb album - a strong encapsulation of where things were at in UK 'proggessive' jazz circa 1970. One of John Surman's best sessions of the era too.

The Whiggs Young Nicky Clegg Jiggs Whigham

From the Les Tomkins archive so presumably recorded at Ronnie Scotts early to mid-60s? (My guess is that it might be a mix-mash of various lineups on both disks).

Giles Peterson 'Impressed' (UK Universal, 2LP) Harry Beckett - 'Rolli's Tune'

Got a huge backlog of Mosaics still to listen to (Hampton, Ellington 30s etc) but looking forward to hearing this set one day !

A classic ! Had several good evenings listening to those two gents. Enjoy !

Damn ! Let's hope he pulls through OK.

Indeed Bev. That's a marvellous disc. Brings back some great memories of seeing Working Week live (and that first album). Hadn't thought that it was Harry Beckett that was featured...will try and dig it out over the weekend Wasn't there also a dance floor 12" (forget the title but it wasn't by Working Week) with Larry Stabbins and Keith Tippett on it? That one was mentioned in the 'Jazz Britannia' documentaries and I'm pretty sure Harry Beckett was on that one too. Another good one is 'Joy Unlimited' on Cadillac Records. That one should be reissued on CD for sure.

First Harry Beckett - and now this. What sad news. I was fortunate enough to get to see him the once and that was with his Kollektief (with Misha Mengelberg) in North America. Hope he is now in peace - RIP and thank you for that concert.
