Thanks, I will hunt it down for a stream. I realise I was thinking of another David Lee, a bass player with the Bill Smith Ensemble.

Evolution' is a super deep, ‘lost classic’ radical and groundbreaking deep spiritual jazz album, apparently. I definitely know his name, can't think from where at the moment

Yes no worries about Trost. They've done a great job on Brötzmann's catalogue amongst others. They often had a stall at Oto for PB's gigs They're also not afraid to reissue less obvious artists/titles, for instance Kowald. Top quality

I loved the first three Yoakam albums at the time. Even got to see him once. We drifted apart as the 90 came along. I see he released an album this year, I might just have to reacquaint myself

Tomin on International Anthem, both of them The Ahmed 5CD set Braxton's Lorraine box set The 1960s recordings of Giorgio Gaslini Tony Oxley on Incus The Jazz Epistles Jorga Mesfin https://jorgamesfin.bandcamp.com/album/the-kindest-one Tamar Osborn, in Collocutor, Unknown to Known and with Idris Rahman https://mapsforgettinglost.bandcamp.com/album/lightship The Awen Ensemble https://awenensemble.bandcamp.com/album/cadair-idris And buying my first two Duke Ellington albums (yes, I know...) And quite a lot of kora and oud music It's been a good listening year

Very much enjoyed his performances on a number of JMT releases when I was first listening to Jazz. Saw him in London a couple of times. He was definitely an original and interesting player.

Justin Timberlake River Phoenix Wet Wet Wet

Doug Carn w. Jean Carn - Spirit Of The New Land [Black Jazz Records, USA 1972] finally filled a big whole in the collection

I'm pleased to hear Lavazza worked for you. I had a great decaff at one of my favourite shops this morning, U Roast coffee beans

Very envious. I'll check out the album, thanks. It was around then I discovered them. They've fallen off my radar for many years until last year when they played London but I couldn't make the date.

Side 2 of that is stone cold masterpiece. Side 1's pretty useful too

Tempting

That's a lovely trio. I don't know that album and I don't know why not. Enjoy!

"what year did Mosaic release their Bill Barron box set?" would obviously be one

I'd forgotten all about them or him as I see this is a solo album not the band 'Cadillac Walk' was a big teenage favourite fitting right in with Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones

I would love to have seen them in 1979

Me too

Apart from scoring a nice Ellington the other great part of the story is that the store owner remembers four years later that you're the Jazz fan. Unless I'm misunderstanding

So do I

Mal Waldron - Mal/3 Sounds [Prestige, Japan 1976 RE] OK, time for some hersesy, I'm now convinced that I only really like Waldron when he's playing in (and writing for) larger groups. I realise this is a minority view but i have tried, honest folks

Mal Waldron - Sweet Love, Bitter [Impulse, Canada 1967] New arrival, sounding good. Works nicely as a suite I think.

Only will they run on time to get me to my folks at the Xmas holiday

Ha! That takes me back, happy days

The Leroy Jenkins one is very good
