Following on from Mingus’ Carnegie Hall concert just love the Don Pullen composition Big Alice - here’s Don’s own version and boy does this track cook.

Been listening to this playlist on Roon/Tidal and it’s been quite lovely. Have not had to skip one track, which is saying something, for me at least.

Keeping with the CSNY theme, glorious west coast Americana (west coast of London). The Helps.
Oh for a time machine to travel back to 1971 to catch them live again.

John Coltrane - Standard Coltrane Prestige/OJC
Absolutely outstanding 1958 was such a prolific year for JC and when I see a copy of Craft Records 58 box set for a reasonable price I’ll be snapping it up.

The Cream of Clapton | 1994
Picking a few from this one which is a total rarity for me as I always play albums in their entirety front to back.

This has made it in my top albums of this year. Has a great atmosphere, laid back but has a lot of depth, incorpoartes UK folk with african rythms and US folk and is just a great sounding folk/rock album.

Thanks for the tip Andy. Downloaded - a great listen. Jon Hiseman’s drumming is a force of nature. The PDF article in the download is very interesting. Moving on to the brilliant but tragic pianist Mike Taylor the man who wrote the title track. When are Columbia going to get their finger out and reissue his stuff. Don’t want to pay a grand for one that’s been used as a frisbee or buy a dodgy Russian Federation release.

This set of - no surprise - seven albums is absolutely superb. It’s really grown on me and is probably his best work to date.
