Happy Birthday and good listening !

Absolutely tragic, shocking news - this is way, way too young. RIP. I certainly enjoyed his book about Miles and have really appreciated the Penguin Guides and Jazz Review over the years. Wonder what will happen to Jazz Review?

Talk about inside track !

George Cables 'Circle' (Contemporary, stereo). Schmokin' - and beautifully recorded (John Koenig). With Joe Farrell, Rufus Reid and Eddie Gladden on some tracks.

Dean Benedetti Jimmy Knepper Shafi Hadi

Always liked his work with Miles' band. Too bad his stint in the group wasn't longer !

$142 for that? Some total nutters out there.

'New Designs In Jazz With The Reese Markewich Quintet' (Modernage/Fresh Sounds) - Smokin' LP with a young Nick Brignola. Good sound !

The man can be seen in awesome form in action on that Quincy Jones DVD on Jazz Icons - where he is heavily features and basically steals the first show (Belgium TV date).

Autographed by the Kenton band?

Once spoke with a guy at a gig in the LA area who claimed to own the Dolphy house (this was about 10 years ago) plus one of the bass clarinets (or was it a flute?) which was found at the house. Couldn't substantiate it.

Mines still in the mail ! Did you go for surface or is your postman on strike? I thought you had ordered yours before I did. I received mine a week ago. US Air Mail option - DHL always ding me for tax and there's no office locally - the nearest one is near you at Bristol - either that or Southampton. I don't mind the delay - at least it always gets there (he says, not wishing to invite exceptions.. ).

Have you converted to the vinyl faith ?

Saw it just the other day without autographs for £2 !
