What vinyl are you spinning right now??

The beer I know very well, one of the most easily drinkable Belgian style tripels but I do admire the glass....

One of the results of going to Utrecht with my daughter today and sneaking in some time for record shopping...

Any store recommendations Niko? I’ve noticed there are multiple vinyl stores in the same street.

Yes... Vinyl24 and Plaatboef are super close to each other on Oude Gracht and both worth a visit (we combined it with visits to Nijntje Museum or Speelklok Museum which are close...). Plaatboef is similar to their shop in Rotterdam, not spectacular but very decent (think of Recordmania maybe), Vinyl24 is a strange one, compared to 10 weeks ago, they had sold most of their stuff and replaced it, it's mostly priced to go... You can follow them on insta and see what their recent acquisitions are... The Hines was from Dig It, in a different part of the city center, it's a small store but I found cool stuff at great prices like this and the Asch Recordings of Mary Lou Williams .... Will go again....

Still stunning after 61 years. Gary Peacock’s bass incredible. A Debut recording.

Speakers Corner reissue - 4 LP Box " Jazz At The Philharmonic in Europe"- rec. 1960

[HutchFan]

Listening to this album again:

Buster Williams plays on four of seven tracks on this album.  Buster sounds so good that I wish he'd have played on the whole LP.  This is one of those records that I have a clear preference for Side A over Side B.

That Stan Douglas video is great. I've seen it shown a couple of times in New York.

A favorite concert with Ewart is still etched in my mind: François Tusques with Ewart, Denis Colin, Adam Linz (bass), JT Bates (drums) in Minneapolis as part of Jean Rochard's Minnesota Sur Seine festival in 2005. That gig was pure fire, and they closed with "Portrait of Erika Huggins," a Tusques classic. I was able to interview him during the festival and we talked a lot about Intercommunal Music (which closes with that tune), so I was overjoyed seeing the group rip through that one live.

Many thanks for sharing your memories ...

I am hopeful but unsure if that concert was recorded...
