    Interesting. Has whoever produced the Doubletime CDs ran off with the tapes?!

    Thanks for posting the Mosaic notes acknowledging the sound issues with the 1961 live session. Returning to my original post on this thread, has the earlier 1959 live session (‘At the jazz corner of the world’, not ‘meet you….’) had any reissue since the 1994 CD twofer? If not, this seems odd, given most Blakey Blue Note material has had numerous reissues in various formats. It’s a great session too.

    Not live but part of the current London Jazz Festival, a double bill today at the Barbican: Big Ben, Ben Webster in Europe (1967) and Cecil Taylor a Paris (1968).

    Wow! It was quite a place back in the Augie days. I see there is a Facebook group dedicated to this era. Good to see Augie and his Mum again in the photos. When I used to go, a young Eric Alexander was the regular sax player and used to come round with a hat for donations! No entry fee, I think. Possibly $10 minimum.

    Marta Sanchez, piano (Spanish), Luke Stewart, bass, Chris Beck, drums. Not the advertised drummer, Russell Carter. Chris was a powerhouse. Also Francesca Cinelli, vocals, David’s partner. French I believe. David made some disparaging comments about his current (big) record label! I thought David was on strong form. I complemented him on his lung power at the interval, he said ‘it takes a lot of work’! Yes indeed.

    David Murray Quartet tonight, Tuesday, Cafe Oto, London. Not seen him for a long time. Anthony

    I enjoyed the film. Slow but tense. Great ending. The cinema I saw this at today (Barbican, London) said it had a ‘stress inducing jazz score’! Well, it had me tapping my foot but maybe why three people walked out before the end.

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

    Sounds like a good day out. I prefer the longer format (see previous boring posts!) but a trip to Lords yesterday watching Day 2 of Middlesex vs Derbyshire wasn’t encouraging. Nice weather, interesting game. But probably 500 in attendance. Mainly in the members’ stand.

    Anyone seen Eddington? Might see tomorrow but it seems to have mixed reviews. Someone raving about it on the radio this morning but only 2 stars in the Guardian.

    Looks well attended. I can’t get into this format of the game at all, perhaps you need to be there. Also, I can’t believe it’s August and there are no test matches and little or no county cricket. As an aside, was in Manchester last Wednesday and Thursday and could not believe the heat! Reminded me of NYC in the summer!

    An underrated record. Everything gels perfectly on this session. Edwards and McGhee create perfect lyrical solos, the rhythm section is superb. Vogue UK mono, inherited from my Dad. I have a US original too, love it so much.

    Did you get any help with this?

    PS plus Alexander Hawkins on piano, compelling.

    Thanks Ollie, great CD. I bought it after hearing some impressive extracts during your interview last Thursday on Resonance FM (Ben Thompson’s London Ear, a consistently excellent programme). Rachel Musson is amazing on it, as you say! Recommended. Anthony London
