No Roon or streaming now. I just find cds in my collection and check if they are available on Qobuz before I post.
Much of the jazz I enjoy is not very popular nowadays. I fear that if it’s style is not promoted it will wither and be forgotten.
Pleased you seem to enjoy some of my suggestions.

I was searching Jazz Messengers for some bits and pieces for my collection and saw this.
Seems the regular crew from my time.
Thought it might be of interest.

I learnt that one of my old dog walking ladies used to run a jazz club many years ago with her husband.
She has a fund of wonderful memories. We were talking about Phil Seaman and his habits yesterday
so she obviously knows her stuff.

Ornette Coleman - Change of the Century
Having just recommended this to Bob the builder, I thought I’d better play it. It was recorded with the same group of musicians who recoded the magical Shape of Jazz to Come. Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins are as tight as a duck’s but still sound free and Haden turns in some memorable solos. A truly exciting jazz event.

Thank you for the advise, Nick!
They’re both delightful.
Have a nice evening

Wouldn’t be Barbara Jay would it? Used to run The Hopbine in Wembley with tenorist Tommy Whittle. They would have known Phil S. well.
I have always loved this cd, if only for brother Pike’s enthusiasm.
He does like to sing along but more Hampton than Jarrett.
That well oiled accompanying trio ofWalton/Williams/Higgins make sure he doesn’t go far wrong. His career often wandered into strange pastures but a man must make a Buck where he can.
On Qobuz.

Without reading the sleeve notes could you tell when they changed instruments?
Oh those wonderful pre covid times.
