What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Bill Perkins - Peaceful Moments

that music room looks really cool - and after moving to Amsterdam a few weeks ago, it's even kind of in the neighborhood can't compete w that room but the possibilities for record shopping after work are a definite plus, listening to one of the results from earlier today... (also brought home some Belgian craft beer with me actually, but that's gone already, records stay... Noblesse by Dochter van de Korenaar in the Belgian part of Baarle)

Wow, very jealous. His flute playing strikes me as much more individual than his alto and tenor work. Interesting that on his Island LP, Affectionate Fink, he is ‘MacNair’ but as Alan Branscombe is ‘Bronscombe’, I suspect this is sloppiness on the part of the record label.
 

Chris Peers, the producer of Affectionate Fink told me via email that that Chris Blackwell stopped him producing any more jazz releases after the poor sales of The LP ( and that they all made such a shed load of cash from Millie Small’s ‘My boy lollipop’ that they didn’t think again about this decision). Hope Millie did OK too.

I was wondering recently whether that’s the end of this project. Sorey seems to be moving back into the jazz world recently. (Unless I’ve missed anything.)

Was there talk of Pillars going beyond the original set of releases? I didn't realise that.

Certainly his two most recent releases are back to Jazz but this was post-Pillars I think and it's not Jazz

I suspect he'll continue to cross and blur boundaries

Tyshawn is rad. I'm sure he'll continue to do what he does best, and that is being Tyshawn.

Anything particular (even trivial details) to share? It's always thrilling to imagine how things were at the scene back then.

I might be confusing it with the Nate Woolley records from the same time.

I don't remember Harold as a flautist. He was usually on alto, as I recall.

But the Jamaican altoist I best remember was Joe Harriott with whom I had interesting conversations in Leeds and Manchester. He told me he'd never seen Bird live - "Jus' the records, man"- but that he had seen Bud Powell - in Paris at the Blue Note.

I think the sections featuring Bird are also on one of Bird´s Verve records "Fiesta" if I remember right. And "Mambo" and Tanga" is very fine on a "Spotlite" LP with some live Bird with Machito and very fine Howard McGhee-Brew More also, all of it from about the same time .

What a cover for the Howard Rumsey album!  Best I’ve seen this year.  
You know the “theme” and execution thereof might be unheard of in a few weeks or so.  Praise to our ancestors who settled the West Coast jazz argument well ahead of the rest of us.  Anyone else thankful?

Yeah I love these kind of LP compilations from the ‘70’s and 80’s. They are mostly pretty cheap and widely available for some reason and quality and music is great.

I got mine for £4 from Alans in North London. One of the best value records I have purchased because I spin it all the time.

Playing the recent LP of Joe Lovano's "I'm All For You - Ballad Songbook". I wasn't going to get this because the CD sounds very nice but I wanted to hear what all the fuss was about when this came out. It is an analog recordings and Kevin Gray did a nice job with it. I don't think it beats the CD.

Sad to realize that Joe Lovano is the only one still with us.
