Simon Scott

If proof required! I thought I had also seen him play solo, but can't find a ticket for that.

Hey @rolandbates.bsky.social ... I have been doing some sorting out, mainly from my "London years" (mid 1991 to mid 2007.) Does this ring a bell?

Good point, well made. But, still, a boxed set I wouldn't want to live without!

A Shire favourite!

I just have this one from when they were released by @greenleafmusic.bsky.social

Poorly planned release date... I always listen to this in December, on the date each set was recorded!

And Sco!

It's a golden age for the guitar on ECM, imho. Wolfgang, Jakob Bro (unless he has left after forming the excellent Loveland label), Jacob Young. And still albums come from Bill Frisell, Steve Tibbetts, Ralph Towner.

Out and about IE record shopping! I will put this on the moment I get home.

There's just "something" about the overall tone/mood of the whole album.

This is one of my all time favourite ECMs.

I have 7 of those artists, but... none are on ECM, which I file separately!

Interestingly (or perhaps not) only Veljo Tormis separates Tibbetts and Torn in my filing system.

I should have picked up the 7 CD Soul Note/Black Saint set when it was still available.

Sadly, I don't!

Don't know this one. I had a few days with some of his hatART and hatOLOGY sessions at the end of last month.

Niche. Will provide clues if necessary!

Not nearly as embarrassing as for Nigel!

I have always imagined him as one of those people who spends most of his days "tinkering" (for want of a better word) in a home studio.

I assume you are aware of this late October release @mole9.bsky.social ?

Also the correct answer to "the best Alan Garner TV adaptation?"

Spent an hour there (pre whisky) on the way to Orkney, but came away empty handed, sadly.

Fingers crossed for a better internet connection in Inverness. Failing that, a whisky bar or two.

I have been meaning to order this for weeks!

Read this yet @stebenson.bsky.social ?

Going to F****s used to be a highlight of a trip to London, but I have barely purchased anything on my last few visits.

@kirkdalebooks.bsky.social Buddo says hello.

I have tickets to see Wadada with Vijay Iyer in London in a few weeks. Excited for that one.
