A few months later and it was all over.
Sandy still had it but as a live album it is a bit of a sham. Both Jerry Donahue and Simon Nicol are present on this release but weren’t there on the night.
A few tracks in and the sound quality is outstanding.

Greg Foat Group Dancers at the Edge of Time. Bang on the money modern UK jazz. Recorded in an IoW church whose echoes and noises are almost an additional instrument. Lovely artwork too. On chunky Jazzman vinyl.

Steady on Andy - or are you pitching for High Priest of the Church of Latter-day Foat and it’s charitable status?

I think he is amazing - do you know the Hampshire & Foat stuff.
Such great music makers.

I haven’t sound checked albums back to back for quite a while and this hybrid SACD rip is standing up very well to the previously played “Black Triangle” (EMI / Toshiba) CD rip.

FINK - IIUII (It Isn’t Until It Is)
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… kicking off this Tuesday morning with Fink’s ‘IIUII’ and his music is sounding sublime! …the perfect album to melt into the icy cold day out there in the real world at the moment. Warm and cosy with a lovely cup of coffee and settling into the day…

Bought this because of Clock which was so Kate Bush…that, and because I didn’t know Milla Jovovitch’s history, musically-speaking.
Album is somewhat confusingly called The Divine Comedy…must garner a few hits, lol.

Derek Trucks Band. Roadsongs.
Don’t need much persuasion to play this @AlanP recommendation.
Some tracks missing on qobuz for some reason.
Apple Music too so must be licensing

Gentle Giant - ‘The Official Live, Playing the Fool’ (1977). Live double album which ends the main prog era of ‘Gentle Giant’. This is great stuff, many of the classic prog tracks from their albums back to 1970 are included. As is often the case with GG the live versions are very different to the studio versions as ever showing a high level of musicianship and imagination. ‘On Reflection’, ‘The Runaway/Experience’, ‘So Sincere’, ‘Proclamation’ and many more. The band and the audience are clearly enjoying this progfest!

Big thumbs up to @Dreadatthecontrols for this one. He posted it on vinyl thread and completely new to me. What a record. Plus it sounds fabulous streamed from Qobuz

Indeed - pretty uncategorisable with a real sense of place. Maybe more ambient and chambery (?) than Dancers which has a definite nod to the mid 60s-70s Brit jazz explosion.
