Emile Barnes

A recent acquisition for me, a surprise find from metal record shop Rise Above in Archway / Highgate.

Good job it's on the borders as I'm sure the rarefied "village" of Highgate wouldn't tolerate the marauding hordes.

I wonder if it's the old Sounds 323 site, that morphed into a very alternative stock on the heavier/darker spectrum so a step to Metal

It is at the end of Archway road. The Highgate end. No doubt Archway will soon get it's own Villáge treatment.

It is founded by Lee Dorian, of Napalm Death and Cathedral fame. He has had a label of that name for ages and they opened the shop around the pandemic. It's generally him or his wife in there.

Surprisingly little metal, although well chosen. It has a good jazz selection with interesting stuff - far more interesting than many jazz shops' own selections. Prices are okay. Barnes cost £15, which is roughly what I'd expect these days.

Interesting, thanks. A shortish hop from here on a good day, I'll take a look

Richie Cole was very much in demand in the early 80´s I remember. He was described as 2nd generation bop player or so, but somehow I have the impression that after that he slightly disappeared from the main jazz scene. 
I once saw him live at a festival, some nice tunes but nothing exceptional, he had a completely unknown rhythm section. 

But it was somehow unkind for Richie Cole, because one day before Jackie McLean had played on the same stage with Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins, and you know Jackie McLean is about all I want to hear on alto, it´s the non plus ultra for me. 

 

Leningrad, how much would I like to see it, people who had been there described it as something magic. We had a neighbour lady who went on holiday only to visit the URSS during those years.

I would, however, hope that being a music lover is not intrinsically incompatable with being a music curator at the Smithsonian.

Definitely NOT mutually exclusive, I would think!  Just two different angles on the same thing: musicophilia.

Different jobs, different "responsibilities."

I have one LP with that same strange and somehow a bit cheap looking cover design. 
Junior Cook is great and I have seen him together with Bill Hardman, or also with Louis Hayes as I think.

I don´t have that, I think with a few exceptions I have a big hole in my Dexter discography. I have the early Savoys and Dials, some of the Steeple Chase and later the CBS LPs after his return to the States. 
It may be that the reason was that Dexter in the late 60´s and early 70´s was not my main focus, it was a time when his playing might not have been so much in fashion in the USA. 
But I think I remember I heard a Dexter Gordon at Montreux from that same time at someone´s place and it was more interesting for that time, since it had Fender Rhodes and electric bass, so it might have been more "modern" at the time I heard it......., but really: I became a fan of Dexter only after I had learned that there were men before Mingus, who´s names were Bird, Diz, Fats, Bud, .......and naturally: Dexter !
