Heard (unusually these days) an aircraft this morning, but missed my chance of pushing the passenger in the river.

Are the floods local to yourself?

Pharoah Sanders "Summun, Bukman, Umyan" Impulse Universal Japan SHM-CD

This new SHM-CD from Japan sounds so good!

First heard the sextet in the late 50s, but it was on this album. Formative influence on my jazz tastes:

Fortunately no. I live about one mile from the Mersey. The houses that were evacuated are 100-200 yards from the river.

IIRC about 20 years ago when the Environment Agency first published flood risk maps they showed two levels: areas at imminent risk and areas at once-in-a-hundred-years risk. My house is a few hundred yards beyond area 2. All the houses affected last night were firmly in area 1 (as are large areas of central London). Again IIRC, publication had such an impact on property values that a revised edition omitted area 2 completely.

For me too! It was one of my fathers jazz records and he was really the one that got me into jazz. His collection was a bit limited but Mulligan was one of the artists that was present. And this very record remained one of my favorites by him (and generally in jazz).

Interesting - good to hear that you aren’t affected. River level and flow rate near my place today (piddling little puddle) was ‘robust’.

Donald Byrd "Byrd Blows on Beacon Hill" Transition/Toshiba Superbit Jazz Classics cd, remastered by RVG

 

[jazzbo]

Archie Shepp "On this Night" Impulse/Universal Japan SHM-CD

I've only ever had the Impulse/GRP cd of this before which was an expanded, different animal. This SHM-CD sounds very good.

Dizzy Gillespie Big Band: South America 1956

Borderlands Trio, Asteroidea (Intakt)

[jazzbo]

Cecil Taylor "Jazz Advance" Toshiba Superbit Jazz Classics cd remastered by RVG

I spent a little more than I usually do on this one but for me it's worth it--the sound! 

[JSngry]

I went into a trance both time I listened to this, and still can't tell if it's lucid collective melodicism or lucid collective noodling...or if Bollani knows knew all the answers already. His ease of harmonies is pretty...lucid.

Intriguing record, most assuredly not for casual listening, although, hey, ECM at it's most ECM-ish, they go out of their way to make it sound like it is.

Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear (Atlantic)

 

 

[Gheorghe]

one of the highlights of the 70´s . I was still at highschool when it came out and we were some jazz fans there and whoever picked it up first threw a little party and we listened carefully to that great stuff.

All those people were our heroes, McCoyTyner, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Eddy Gomez and Jack DeJohnette......, they still were really young, McCoy and Ron around 40, and the others in their 30´s

The Boris visit has certainly given some scope for humour. A picture of him looking even more bedraggled than usual in his yellow jacket has been posted on local WhatsApp with the caption "Man from Stalybridge swept away by flood found alive and well in Didsbury." Another remarked that he'd be helpful as he'd "make a good sandbag."Unintentional humour, too from the local media. The Manchester Evening News misspelled flood-hit Bankside Avenue as Backside Avenue, leading to mutterings of Shit Creek.

One of Richie's best records, IMO.

No doubt Carrie and the dog were happy to get him out of the house for a day..

That looks interesting, jcam.  Good stuff?

Poo with Hino isn’t my favorite setting for Poo. It stays contained even in a Poo composition. Still a good date and recommended if you can find it for a good price. It’s SACD and Japan only so it can be pricey.
