A few words in celebration of the first flourishing of British jazz and Richard Morton Jack's incredible, indispensable Labyrinth book. www.patreon.com/posts/britis...

Anyone who's into that will also understand how and why bands like Caravan, Soft Machine and Gong evolved. And then how the French scene started to produce it's own jazz with Sclavis, Texier, Humier, Portal and others. Great period in music, shame it all disappeared.

Nice article, great music indeed. I loved that era of UK jazz, it had the spirit of AACM but without the politics. Very original approach to impro too, no bebop, just energy and originality. The book looks amazing, but I wouldn't buy a book about LPs you can't find anymore. Too frustrating.

Ouch @ianboddy.bsky.social. Looking forward to this one.

52 Albums To Shape A Soul - Part 47

Okay, I'll have a look through my material.

Looks interesting, but it would be useful to know what type of experimental music you're looking for.

Three children sit on the floor of Tate Britain, busy at their own drawings. On the wall hangs John Singer Sargent's "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose."

In my visits to London's museums, I'm always impressed by the many children in attendance. They're often engaged in an art project. I love that there is no cost of admission so all have access.😊 @lightacandle.bsky.social @mdstamper.bsky.social @anthonymajanlahti.bsky.social @tonylarch.bsky.social

Thanks for the reminder, I'd almost forgot they were playing in my town.

Not a good reason (IMHO), and after doing the same thing, but never came back.

I'm waiting with baited breath for her DiN release. So many great releases this year (from several artists).

They should to be getting paid for this extended Johnson vacation. My local rep is holding a phone-in town hall. Too afraid of facing his constituents.

It's a shame journalist don't back each other up. I'd have asked (as the next question), "Why didn't answer the previous question?"

Morning Monday morning… 355 days since leaving X, I’ve hit 1k “followers” here. But what matters are the happy few who actually take the time to interact and make it fun to be here. After all, for some reason, 1,467 people still follow me on X. If they were interested they’d know I won’t be back…

Morning all.

I'm not sure if it counts, considering books that I've seen suggested, but Carson McCullers "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", is about solitude and more. Maybe that fits your category?

In french they say 'It's raining string' (Il pleut des cordes), however, you can also say it's raining like a cow pissing (il pleut comme vache qui pisse), which is a goody, but not said in front of grandma. 😉

Hi Dave and Mr @dancingmonk.bsky.social , hope the weather's better up in Scotland, it's pouring down in Belgium.

Two books are resting on a side table: Women Changing Cities & Life After Cars

What a good week for new books. I’m so excited to read both of these!

You should see the size of the contract!!

Have you signed to Vertigo Records?

Snap, almost!

In the meanwhile (nothing to do with the thread), I'm really enjoying this whilst taking a (clarinet) break ....
