@Bobthebuilder I like the last one from Greg Foat, sounds very classic to my ears, with very good musicians 
My mistake too! I wrote Clark Terry when I meant Clark Tracey, my intrigue like yours for Clark Tracey was expanded by my thinking he was no longer with us.
I see there are also several albums credited as The Greg Foat Group and various collaborative offerings.
Checking Discogs shows heās a very prolific recording artist

I saw Sons of Kemit last week at Bristol. What a fantastic gig. The two drummers is a case of 1+1=3 . Very skilful interplay: sometimes rhythm and sometimes another lead instrument. The tuba playing of Theon Cross is menacing and apocalyptic in a good way! And of course Shabaka Hutchins was superb.

It reminds me Lonnie Liston Smith from the debut 70ās.

Another new name Neue Grafik Ensemble āFoulden Roadā. Good in parts a tad formulaic elsewhere. Nubya Garcia guests on a couple of tracks. There is a follow up full album due soon - maybe worth checking out.

From All about jazz Italia:
Ā« Cover graphics and titles refer to the Sun Ra galaxy and similar or to musicians such as Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane characterized by an intense spirituality and a keen interest in oriental music. Astral Travel, the latest creature born from the volcanic mind of the drummer and composer Tommaso Cappellato, undoubtedly contains some references to these illustrious precedents. But it is above all inspired - it is Cappellato himself who confirms it - by the figure of Harry Whitaker, composer of the famous We Live in Brooklyn, Baby! with Roy Ayers & Ubiquity and the seminal Black Renaissance: Body, Mind & Spirit.
Music for mind and body therefore, music that projects into a dimension where the pleasure and immediacy of listening combine with hypnotic grooves, where the use of vintage instruments such as the moog and the Oberheim synthesizer feed futurist suggestions that Alessiaās voice Obino teleports to a world filled with dreams and visions. Anna Maria Dalla Valleās flute adds a delicacy that is never sugary but rather ethereal and impalpable, when not incisive in moments of greater executive tension.
The leaderās battery determines the direction and configuration of the soundscapes by properly switching between metronomic certainties and timbre suggestions. Marco Privatoās double bass is the necessary anchor to the jazz idiom in order not to lose course, while two pieces are embellished by the spoken word of Chauncey Yearwood and Yah Supreme. The one contained in Cosmāethic is therefore music beyond time, floating in a space that is not only physical but of the mind and that unexpectedly grows listening after listening.Ā«
A masterpiece

Used to be a great little reggae shop opposite Finsbury Park Station. I used to buy records thereā¦think thatās where I got The Prophets Beware and Prince Far I and The Arabs.
Great little place. In Clapton, my flat (well, 2 rooms) was almost above the reggae store in Lower Clapton Road.
Both long gone, sadly.
Good days.
