A happy birthday to Alice Coltrane ! I haven't heard anything like enough of her own music - reading the 'House That Trane Built' has really whetted my appetite for hearing those Impulse recordings.

Yep, happy birthday !

Not a place for ordering a sparkling Perrier water with a sliver of lemon then. Sounds like a 'draft Theakstons' sort of place..

Now onto a glass of red burgundy to start the Holiday evening.

Is that like Cava?

Lee Morgan 'Cornbread' (BN NY USA stereo). Amazing how good both the late Billy Higgins and Jackie Mac sound on this. Harold Vick 'Steppin' Out' (BN NY USA mono)

Nucleus 'Snakehips Etcetera' (Vertigo) cover art !

Nice clip - thanks for that ! Based on Maynard's garb it looks like it was filmed around the same vintage as the 'Chameleon' LP. If my memory is right, Ernie Garside organised that concert at the Croydon Fairfield Hall. He arranged tours for many of the leading US big bands over here around that timeframe, including one of Woody Herman's I also checked out.

I've got a French RCA 3LP box reissue of this one. Will have to dig it out today. Pretty enjoyable stuff, as I recall.

No !

Lin Biviano British? I caught Maynard's band just once, around 1980ish at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. Agree that he put 100%+ into the show, one heck of a showman. Can't recall who else was in the band but I do remember the innevitable 'Rocky' and also a nice version of 'Superbone Meets The Badman' with Maynard on the superbone. In fact he played that instrument quite a bit during the concert. A hugely enjoyable evening. Playing the Mosaic box this weekend - that stuff is excellent. The band with Willie Maiden packed one heck of a punch for its size.

Up again for this thread after a listen to vinyl Volume 1. A big after listening to Spaulding's extended solo on 'Walkin'. Wonderful. I'm inclined to agree with Big Black's positive verdict on this session.

Sonny Rollins 'The Sound of Sonny' (UK Riverside 'reel' DG mono)

Tina Brooks 'True Blue' (Classic Records 200g mono) My 3rd copy of this gem on vinyl I think.
