But does the clarinet? Can anyone ID that instrument in the Hogarth print? A recorder? Oboe?

Back to reality. One of my favourite places for traffic jams. Have you ordered the set yet Yves? I'm procrastinating myself...

Hutcherson Select CD2. Lovin' it !

Yes, it's a good one - notice that there's a brief mention of the background to the 'Windmill Tilter' session. I wonder what could have happened to the promised CD issue of that one?

Olive Oyl Art Hoyle Herman Sonny Blount

Yuck ! Hate those high humidities.. Around 20C and fairly clear skies over here - high pressure system from Africa, the usual Summer conditions. A bit of stability after the recent deluge.

Butthead Beavis Sgt. Slaughter

Bobby Hutcherson Mosaic Select, CD1. Sounds good !

Right next to what's left of the 99 copies of the original 10" Michael Garrick 'Moonscape' and straggler Charles Mingus Label UCLA 2LP sets.

Lonnie Smith 'Drives'

Happy b'day indeed to a great and dignified jazz figure. Fond memories of seeing the man MC a Dizzy G. tribute concert but sadly, I never saw him play. Will pull out the Contemporary 'Jazz Giant' and 'Swinging the 20s' in recognition !

Don't tell Vince.

Aha - 'Psychadelic Pi'

John Dankworth and Cleo Laine's 80th birthday concert (for both). A major event on the UK calendar - wish I could have made it !

(-17) - (-22) = 5 8 (6-5) + 10 = 18 4(-2)² + 8(-2) + 3(-2) + 6 = 0 (1/3)(9)³ = 243 -11(3/2)(.12(-12)) = 2376 30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 36.975 598% / 26% = 23 4/5 + 3/4 = 1.55

Nick Brignola/Pepper Adams 'Baritone Madness' (Beehive) Great playing by both leads and Ted Curson on this one.

With some of those OOP Fantasy CDs going for $80-100 each maybe this is good value? What a daft world we live in.

I was expecting to see at least some 78s from the 'Swing tanzen verboten' set.

Can't wait to get hold of this set. Sure to be one of the releases of the year when it arrives. Thanks for the link to the Liebman blog - very interesting. Miles' old back garden is still quite recognisable from the one featured on the front cover of 'ESP'.

That's a great session by Stan's 'Big Brass' recorded for Lansdowne/UK Columbia. The Reissue is from a decent vinyl - I've heard mixed reports about the sound but the music is so good, the main thing its back out there to enjoy. All of those Stan Tracey Big Brass recordings are great IMO. Even the one with Acker Bilk - 'Blue Acker'.

Relax and get back to the thermal hot springs !

More thoughts for Joe's speedy recovery.
