  1. Modern Sounds, Lars Gullin, Contemporary 10”. What a beautiful record.
  2. Ok I’ll persevere before taking to the charity shop!
  3. Just received the CD version. Extensive sleeve notes, lots of experts. One expert says that “Remler opens the familiar melody….”. Yes, but the familiar melody is Meditation, not Samba de Orfeu, as listed. Oh dear. The bass sound is terrible. Poor old Carson Smith. That old rubber band ‘80s sound. Remler is out of tune on the first few tunes. I may have to listen to earlier Remler records, I don’t recommend this.
  4. Sounds a great gig, thanks the write up Bob. Hope Mike feels up to gigs outside of the SW soon.
  5. Hi Bob, how was the concert and how was Mike? I don’t think he’s been too active recently. Anthony
  6. The Tokyo Blues, Horace Silver Quintet 1962. Has to be one of Horace’s finest.
  7. Yes. Very Interesting character. The Neneh Cherry/ Marshall Allen sounds like something off Attica Blues. thanks for linking Rostasi.
  8. Gilles Peterson interviewing Jimi Tenor this weekend mentioned getting Marshall Allen to play recently on stage with the Arkestra in New York, then meeting him the next day with Marshall standing outside in the freezing cold having a smoke, after having been up all night. About 1hr 54 into his BBC 6 radio programme on Saturday, tried linking but didn’t work.
  9. Not a big Dylan fan either, but it’s a great ‘film’ rather than a documentary. It has a pace to it, that you forget it’s over 2 hours. The cinematography is brilliant. You really feel you are in Greenwich Village or at the Newport folk festival in the early ‘60s.
  10. A brilliant, funny and moving film. I don’t think promoting this as a buddy movie has done it any favours. I have raved about it to all my friends, saying ignore the buddy movie billing. What’s HULU?
  11. OT but I saw the Rip Rig and Panic spin off group, Float up CP (as in Charlie Parker) with I think a v pregnant Neneh Cherry and Andi Oliver singing. Around 1984 in a church hall in Kentish Town. Great gig!

    Marion Brown

    I wonder if the prize is supported by the compensation paid to Marion Brown for the botched amputation of his leg? I can’t think off hand of any alto players influenced by his distinctive style. A true one off.
  13. The earlier reissue of Flashpoint came with a DVD film of the recording session. Was fascinating to see the older musicians like Ronnie Scott really getting into this new music.
  14. To be playing composed music, as implied, after taking LSD, challenging. Will have to relisten to Basra.
