Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Outtakes (Tidal/Brubeck Edition)
Prompted by @GeoffC
More than just barrel scraping off cuts, this stands as a really good alternative version of the classic Time Out album.

Probably my favourite female vocalist. I wish she was able to record 20 studio albums.

The Tone Poet LP is well worth checking if you havent already 
Thanks for the reminder, but I have the CD, which sounds exceptionally good through the network player, so don’t see a need to buy another copy.
Please yourself!

The Comet Is Coming - Channel The Spirits 2016 Special Edition (Tidal/Leaf Label)
I have vinyl at home but this special edition adds a second disc of extra’s
Shabaka Hutchings, Dan Leavers, Maxwell Hallet weave Jazz, Funk, Afrobeat, synths and cosmic Hawkwind like vibes, doesnt take itself too seriously so the result is upbeat and involving.

Genesis - ‘Duke’ (1980). This was the last album with any prog overtones I think. I like this transitional period from ‘Trick of the Tail’ through to ‘Duke’ where the group still had prog tendencies but sadly they were decreasing markedly. Not keen on the thinned out sound and the short pop songs of ‘Abacab’ (1981) which follows although I quite like ‘Three Sides Live’ (1982) which includes some of ‘Abacab’ and some of the material from the great days….’One for the Vine’, ‘The Fountain of Salmacis’ etc. ‘Duke’ came out in my first year at University and one of my contemporaries was a Genesis fan who had moved with the times and liked ‘Abacab’. He couldn’t understand why I hadn’t. Still haven’t!!

Sinister Cutlery, State Of Fear. It’s very good - came to it via a friend of a friend on Band Camp and am finding it quite entertaining, esp after a few listens.
John Mayall. The Turning point.
No lead guitar,No drums, but excellent change of direction. Budding bass players should check out track 5 “California “
