Happy Birthday Ray !

George Russell 'At Beethoven Hall - Guest Artist Don Cherry' (Saba)

"Andover is geographically isolated from other towns and the inbreeding here is of the highest quality. The chavs cannot afford to travel and the next town is a good 20 miles away so is well beyond BMX/scooter distance. This place is worthy of study as the Galapagos islands were to Darwin." Very true.

From Gillingham, Kent: "Her boyfriend will probably be called Dwayne or Tyrone etc who by this time will be staying at Her Majesty's pleasure". Didn't realise they were into Messrs (Duane) Tatro and Washington down there. It can't be all bad !

And lets not forget one of my favourite web sites catering for these toe-rags and their 'hos' and little Britneys... chav towns

Happy Birthday Kalo !

Chavs and wankers - 2 reasons I stay out of GB. Nah - it's chavs, wankers and toffs.

Wal-Mart does Shorter's 'Tes Esat' . Whatever next !

Tony Kinsey 'Thames Suite' (Spotlite). Fine big band with Ronnie Ross, Derek Watkins, Keith Christie etc. Tribute to the river - recorded by the BBC for 'Jazz Club' (sounds familiar - I think I caught it at time of broadcast).

And latest reports are that epilepsy cases have already been triggered off by this abomination when it flashes its colours !

B****dy **ll ! So it is ! I take my hat off to those guys, they are worth every £ of their £400k. Or maybe its broken glass ! (fitting)

'Caramba' gets a definite 'yay' from me. The first side is very funky with a very heavy Billy Higgins backbeat. Nothing profound but hugely enjoyable on its own terms. This and 'The Sixth Sense' were the first two Lee Morgan albums I got my hands on.

If I ever see an original vinyl of that one Ubu, I'll lose my voice. Missing link to 'On The Corner'.

My Miles LP box arrived with a split. Fortunately Mosaic shipped another straight away.

Just need to avoid looking at the socks..

Jeez - talk about obscure..

.. or 750 near-mint copies of 'True Blue'.

I like it. It tends to get 'panned' quite a bit around these parts and there's nothing earth-shattering on there but this is a good, swinging Liberty-era Blue Note set. Of course, Foster remains a very under-rated man on the tenor.

Miles 63-64 LP set, LPs 9 and 10. End of QA check.

Maupin in great form on his UK tour recently - quartet with Munyungo Jackson on percussion. The Cheltenham performance (which I caught) was broadcast by BBC and is available on 'dime'.
