In my case it was just that generation, those late 60´s early 70´s hipsters who were something like older brothers and sisters to me. Mingus and Monk were considered "cool" so that´s were I started to pick up the stuff. But I admit it´s the wrong way chronologically. I remember a name musician told me he had got into jazz thru his parents who heard some Ellington on radio and thats how it started, and when I confessed that I had "discovered" Ellington´s music thru listening to Mingus, he said "that´s also a good start". Well I didn´t have parents who would have listened to jazz on radio or so. I started from zero knowledge. Quote

sidewinder Posted March 15, 2023 Report Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Yes, ‘Hot House’ was put out I think by the people who ran Mole Jazz at the time. They also did a recording of Nathan Davis ‘London By Night’ so I guess this reissue was set up as a consequence. I find that the Mole pressings tend to be rolled off quite a bit at the top end. The Tubbys are flawed in that respect - albeit very welcome when they came out. Edited March 16, 2023 by sidewinder Quote

A very good and probably important guitarist. His later stuff gets a bit too shreddy for me but anything up to 1972 works fine. Also, often features Harry Beckett which means you can't go wrong. He also plays in Beckett's Joy Unlimited band. Try 'Dragon Hill' for a good starter. There's a couple of recent very good releases on Jazz In Britain which should be streamable. As to why so few recordings form the ICA? I have no idea, too many Happenings instead Quote
sidewinder Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 That ICA album is a bit ‘way out’ for my liking (have it on CD). Most of his stuff is really good though. Quote
