The album that launched Virgin Records, released in 1973 when Oldfield was only 19 which is quite surprising as he plays all the instruments

I saw Blakey 3 or 4 times in the 70s and 80s and it was memorable - and deafening ! The Marsalis brothers were in one of those lineups - but it seemed to change year to year.
Now spinning this very nice Fantasy CD, which I think I paid £3 for at Fopp.

After playing Black Market, I fancied this. Rather than play my copy, I decided to stream this 24 bit high resolution version from Qobuz in the rather unusual sampling rate of 176.4 kHz.

You should hear it on the Craft Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf vinyl reissue- absolutely phenomenal sound and great music.

I must have heard a few notes from this album somewhere recently as it’s been one of those albums to play on my ‘when I get round to it’ list.

Just came across this on Spotify but I can find no details about the musicians. All rather laid back and not really like the Metro of Loeb and Haffner

Wunderhorse - Midas. Listened to this twice now and love it. Thanks to @crispyduck who mentioned it a few days ago and accurately described it as “melodic post-punk in a Husker Du vein”.
