I think I lost 2 or 3 thou...

Johnny Hawksworth 'I've Grown accostomed To My Bass' (UK Columbia mono test pressing). With Stan Tracey.

Didn't the early Floyd use to do their London light-show concerts at a basement club on Tottenham Court Road? (apparently on LHS going North from the tube). Not sure what the club was called. Must have passed the site hundreds of times - has been built over with shops I believe.

The old Ronnie Scotts in London was my ideal. £1 admission mid-week for students/Musicians Union members, top-flight US and UK bands selected by Ronnie, seating for the youngsters up-front, no hard drinks pressure, nice ambience, terrible jokes by Ronnie. The only problem is we are talking about 25 years ago here.

What - you didn't go for the Honi Gordon?

Does that include my bundle?

Damnation - I get a nice little pile selected in my basket and notice under FAQs that there's 'No International shipping' !

wow - the 30+ bundle deal compares with zweitausendeins.de at Euro 2.99 each and an even better title list

Sorry for the delay - the 1974 Jazz Journals have a few interesting publicity pages and adverts. Example below for a Roundhouse concert (a bit small I'm afraid). Will work through '75 and '76 over the next week or so. Please PM mail address Roger and I'll post some photocopies !

Ian Carr 'Belladonna' (Vertigo 'swirl' label). Watching the label go round is better than watching the TV ( ) and any album with a track titled 'Hector's House' automatically gets a from me. Jimmy Smith 'Crazy Baby' (BN 47W63rd mono DG side 1)

and free poster !

Nope - NY USA/43W61st !

'The Amazing Bud Powell Vol 1' (BN DG NY USA side 1/Lexington side 2)

Frank Foster Orchestra 'Giant Steps' (Nipon Columbia). Thad & Mel Big Band album in disguise !

Dexter Gordon 'A Swingin' Affair' (BN NY USA mono) John Cameron 'Cover Lover' (UK Columbia stereo). With Ronnie Ross and lots of Cameron vocals in an 'Anthony Newley' vein. Prince Lasha 'Firebirds Live Vol 2' (Birdseye)

Great Dexter Gordon Blue Note vinyl on deck but the lively soccer action on screen (sans sound) is proving to be a distraction !

Phenomenal ! Don't miss..

Just got hold of a black label deepgroove copy of 'The Word From Bird' so it will be interesting playing these two great LPs back to back today.

Wow - incredible ! Thanks for posting.

Grant Green 'Carryin' On' (BN Liberty stereo) Joe Henderson 'Page One' (BN NY USA mono)

IT MOOST BE TIME TOO GIVE THIS WUN A SPIN (An overlooked gem IMO)

BN 4191 mono original being pulled out for a spin tonight. Great session - one of my favourites. Side 1 in particular is knockout.

Very happy birthday !

Not to worry, John. My archive of complete 60's 'Jazz Monthly's' is useful in such circumstances. In October's edition under 'coming events' it says: 'Jazz Expo '69 ''' October 27th 8pm. 'Guitar Workshop' with Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow, Grant Green etc. Newport All-Stars featuring Ruby Braff, Red Norvo etc., Dakota Staton. Sarah Vaughan and Maynard were featured on the 25th Oct. Hamp was featured on the 26th with Red Norvo and Gary Burton and that gig also had The Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. October 28th had Louis Jordan, Bill Coleman and Albert Nicholas. Oct 29th had Hamp, Teddy Wilson and Ben Webster. October 30th had Albert King, Otis Spann, John Lee Hooker and Champion Jack Dupree, Monk and Cecil Taylor were featured on October 31st and Miles, Mary Lou Williams and John Hendricks were featured on 1st Nov. Venue for all of the above was the venerable Hammersmith, Odeon. (in fact this was Miles last UK appearance until 1982, when he was back at Hammersmith (remember it well ).
