    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

    The first album is odd, half of it is in a calypso jazz style. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. It wasn’t!

    Can’t see any previous threads on tap dancers. Jimmy Slyde with George Benson and Papa Jo Jones is a good enough place to start.

    A friend of mine was there on Wednesday and sent me a photo, looked very sunny. He said Jimmy Anderson had bowled very few overs. Think Lancs are using his name to get the punters in?

    Beautiful memories, thanks Alexander. Saw Louis with you at Cafe Oto a couple of times I think. Great gigs. Re classical music, my late brother in law working for Serious Music collected John McLaughlin from Heathrow years back. He flipped when my brother in law put some loud jazz rock stuff on the radio and demanded silence or classical music.

    Agreed. I began listening to jazz through a lot of my Dad’s 78s. Parker Gillespie and Mulligan have never sounded more powerful to my ears. Still have ‘em.

    Great! Henry deserves a thread in the Artists section.

    Yes, that would have been in the side room to the pub, now unrecognisable as a restaurant. Music is now upstairs. Henry Lowther was on great form (nearly 84). I knew he had played at Woodstock (for the only band not recorded or filmed) but I hadn’t realised the range of artists he had played with over the years, ranging from Elton John to Buzzcocks.
