This looks interesting. Will possibly explore it.

For the umpteenth time. I really enjoy this. The songs. They're marvellous. And about what Medjuck once said, yes its mostly vocal. But there are always some moments in every song with just the trio. Plus some trio tracks. And Cole was a hell of a pianist in the first place.

Yes, Ramblin is very good (hearing it myself). And I coincide in his work with Ayers. Perhaps his strongest.

Thanks very much. But I didn't think it was that bad. If he's recovering, hail to that.

Does anyone know anything about Allen Lowe? I haven't seen him around here for quite some time. He assured me maybe this fall there was gonna be a reprint of That devilin tune, which is OOP.

Very good picture there.

Yes, that was some time ago and in it they mentioned their intention of downsizing. And their email about selling the Wolff pics (??? I would not do it) is not even a week old I think. And thanks for that very interesting and insightful article, ghost.

A very good comp of Nigerian highlife. On Strut. With names such as Prince (prior to Prince) Nico Mbarga & Rocafil Jazz, International Brothers Band or Sir Victor Uwaifo & His Titibitis. I absolutely love Adrian Belew. His work with Talking Heads on Remain in light, Bowie, King Crimson on Discipline... Here he's with a Parker Fly, a high tech guitar from the beginnings of the 90s.

I love Jack Wilson with Roy Ayers. Got this recently after I had heard them together somewhere else. I just don't remember now where.

Oh, great. Thanks. I didn't know he'd been murdered by his partner. Though it sure is in the movie. But I remember it very hazily. Probably long ago. Yes it was that one. Sure. For some reason I mixed it up with My beautiful launderette and thought it was something else.

Joe Orton appeared (characterized by some actor) in a movie I once saw. I just don't remember which movie. He was living in Tangier in the early 60s, when a lot of beats lived there. And Bowles, of course. And that life in Tangier appeared in the movie. I still have the image of him and his partner lying in the sun on a rooftop in my mind.

That album, though not being a career album (just a comp), is very, very good. And contains some of their best songs. Autumn 84? So early? I thought it was from later on. Their first is also from 1984. So maybe it's a collection of singles.

That one was one of my favorites ca. 1985. And now with this With Heroes, perhaps my all time favorite Bowie song. I would say yes. I like it very much, and it sports their hit Start me up from when I saw them once live in 1982 and with which they opened their shows. And the great Waiting on a friend. After that I didn't care for any new material from them anymore.

Oh, I've bought there. But long ago.

Where did you find it? If I may ask. Might be interested myself. The Harmonica blues album cover art looks like a drawing from Robert Crumb.

Yes. And I think there was a previous more expensive edition, but when I picked it up (mid 2000s?) it cost me 50€. About 50$. And it has lots of cool repros in it.

Yes, and when you mentioned Steinweiss I remembered that I think this was an album. But I might be mistaken. I have a Taschen book on Steinweiss, where I think this cover appears.

The store, that is. Maybe it was the last... I saw it and picked it up. Dunno if they had more.

I bought the Prestige box (recognized the cover and got it immediately) some weeks ago, and they still had it at Blue Sounds, their usual outlet.

I've already given order to my bookshop of seeking it out for me.

Very good suggestion. I guess I'll have to check that one out. Dean was an idol when I was a teenager.

Very good photo of Zoot in full action!

Thanks for that link. I just got some of their 1000 yen releases. Among them Smokin at the Half Note, which I have wanted to have for some time.

I love his track Going East. I suppose it's on this album...
