This is great. 3CDs with all the recordings (off of C120s!) plus excellent hard back book with Simon Spillett essay and colour photos. Recorded almost 50 years ago !

Ordered from Dusty Groove.

Once upon a time I lived near the Hopbine - never knew about it though as a jazz venue, although I recall regularly driving past it. Now a Tesco Express

Mary Lou Williams - Zodiac Suite 

First time I'd listened to this. It reminds me a lot of John Fahey work 25 years later in its mix of roots and classical modernism. I wonder whether Fahey knew the record.

Is this the new one? How is it? It's getting pushed on social media a fair bit.

Thanks to Kevin for the recommendation the other night while music shopping.

Yes, sounds good to me the first couple of listens.
