A fine choice ! Dynaudios are power hogs but with the right amp they can sound great.

Clear blue skies and not far off 20C with strong sun today at the South Coast - just perfect for a beer and a sunbathe.

Karl Berger & Company - 'Tune In' (Milestone yellow/orange label) Mud?

Yeah ! Missed that one. Great timing, I need a DVD copy.

Anyone see that 'West End Jungle' Soddom and Gomoragh style documentary about prostitution in 1959 Soho last night, after the Getz? Wonder whose big band it was on the sountrack - a very Ronnie Ross-ish baritone by the sound of it.

My condolences and sympathy too. Nothing much that I can add that hasn't already been said - but hang in there.

Hopefully the Getz won't be the only 'Jazz Goes To College' that they broadcast and that there will be more of that particular series to come. I have the feeling there might have been shows by Joe Harriott and Tubby Hayes but suspect that these might have been lost during the tape wiping purge to make way for the likes of 'Blankety Blank' and the Lena Zavaroni Show. One can but hope though ! Talking of Joe Harriott there was a 3 or 4 part on Indo-Jazz Fusions (with John Mayer) that was done for Harlech/HTV in Bristol back around 1968/69 and which has never been found. Now that one would be a discovery, although I believe that a search by ITV mentioned in the Harriott bio gave negative results..

Looks like there's a documentary on the 'Jazz Baroness' Pannonica de Koenigswarter coming up in about a week's time, plus a broadcast of the Monk 'Jazz 625'. They are on a roll ! Edit - it's on next Friday, repeated Saturday. Also with the Art Blakey/Lee Morgan/John Gilmore 'Jazz 625' BBC4 Jazz Listings

Not a bad price for a less than pristine copy. Now spinning: Buster Williams 'Something More' (In 'n' Out Records, Germany) Recorded by RVG - with Shorter, Hancock and Al Foster.

Any luck?

The two Vanguard LPs are great and can be picked up on reissue vinyl I think. RIP - Fine player with a strong element of early bop in his playing. Always enjoyed his sessions with Moody, George Wallington - and with Art Taylor on 'ATs Delight' of course. Sorry to hear he's no longer with us.

well, that must be because it contained the line "signed by Wynton"...
