Another band i had a few albums off before i sold the lot for cds in the early 80s.

That's the anthology - I like the first album a lot with Ray Owen on vocals and Glen Campbell's guitar is excellent.

yep waiting for the great kenny wheeler to perform tonight. A mad few weeks coming up. I have tickets for 13 gigs over the next few weeks - at least London jazz festival only comes round once a year. You can't beat good live music out all day tomorrow 600 mile round day trip up north.

First listen, first track, thinking: Oi, Keef, where's the bloody tune?!

not easy listening this one. I was at the jarrett trio concert that became the album inside out. Quite difficult listening as well and quite disappointing to attend a trio concert expecting standards and instead getting a concert of complete free tuneless improvisation

ok, sometimes you need to 'fess up to a guilty vinyl pleasure and this guy's music is one of mine (and yes I do have others but I'm not telling)

Funny, I recently bought "Inside Out" too, and liked it the first time I played it. The first ten minutes of the present CD, on the other hand were pretty hard going, but it's starting to get better.

Enjoy Kenny Wheeler tonight - he didn't seem so well when I saw him last year, so who knows how long he will continue to play live?

I'm getting into this Porcupine Tree stuff - just done:

In Absentia, Lightbulb Sun, Fear of a Blank Planet and will move on to The Incident if the Mrs stays out long enough!

Thanks for the intro guys...!

I bought his debut with the other bloke, but then I was cool when I was still at junior school, wasn't I?
