Totally! And there’s reason why recording is poor because the concert was decisively not recorded so it is just what was televised on TV. Again, all part of the awesome history, event and even controversies.
Gary Burton Take Another Look: A Career Retrospective
Wonderful 35 track compilation of Gary Burton’s output on different labels.
RCA / Atlantic / ECM / GRP / Concord / Mack Avenue
Nils Petter Molvær - Solid Ether
New today, and recommended to me by either @Ian or @seakayaker or possibly both. Thanks guys.
Lovely Nighthawk Records compilation from 1981. This US label released a few really good quality LP’s of Roots Reggae, one of the first labels I discovered to take the music seriously and present it with care, respect, quality mastering, and educational sleeve notes.

Lifes rich pageant, R.E.M
Spot of Pysch-Folk for lunch. The Garden of Jane Delawney by Trees. Took a punt on it after favourable reviews etc. If you like 60s English folk; Fairport Convention, Pentangle etc. You’ll like this.
Eric Clapton. Life in 12 bars. Now listening to cd2 of this excellent career spanning compilation.
Double thanks to @AlanP .
Television marquee moon one of my all time favourites
Thanks! Available on Qobuz too.
Inspired after watching the excellent Black Power A British Story Of Resistance on BBC iplayer
Released in ‘78 on Virgins Frontline label sadly still so relevant…

Scott Joplin died on this day in 1917
> By 1916, Joplin was suffering from tertiary syphilis but more specifically it likely was neurosyphilis. In January 1917, he was admitted to Manhattan State Hospital, a mental institution. He died there on April 1 of syphilitic dementia at the age of 48, and was buried in a pauper’s grave that remained unmarked for 57 years. His grave at St. Michael’s Cemetery (New York) in East Elmhurst was finally given a marker in 1974, the year The Sting , which showcased his music, won for Best Picture at the Oscars.
