Here's wishing Hank well. He has so many friends and good wishers out there !

Various Artists 'Jazz Explosion' (UK Columbia Lansdowne, stereo). Sampler with Rendell/Carr, Guy Warren, Amancio D'Silva, Bill Russo etc.

This set will forever remain a mystery for those of us looking for it..

Great news ! Never heard any of the Rivbea stuff but this set will be a nice one to go with the big box. Wonder what happened to that extra Strata-East material that Charles Tolliver mentioned might be up for issue on Mosaic select some years ago (it was mentioned at a London Fest interview).

Lynda La Plante Little Weed Looby Loo

Jackie McLean 'McLean's Scene' (New Jazz DG mono)

Joe Henderson 'Tetragon' (Milestone, stereo)

My New Yorker set has finally arrived ! (after being returned to NYC due to problems with delivery - then returned OK). Unfortunately there was a corner ding on the book on receipt - however the New Yorker people have shipped another book straight out. Great service !

Same here! My heart stopped! Me too. Beg, steal or borrow to see Sam Rivers in concert. Unmissable !

On one of the 60s CBS albums ('Filles' I think) Miles plays part of this theme as he closes out one of the tracks.

He's on at Swanage too (twice - trio and octet)

Have you tried contacting Sony to get a glue-less replacement box, Roger?

Glad to say that I have now secured my season pass for Bath 2010 Looks like tickets for the free BBC broadcast have all gone but on the plus side they have included the Django Bates as a bonus ! Too bad that the Martha Reeves gig is 'additional to scope' but the season pass does include Booker T., which I wasn't expecting. Excellent stuff !

Red Foxx Foxxy Knoxy John Knox

Too bad that they couldn't include Buster Williams !
