"...at the heart of Britain's jazz resurgence ..." in 87. It is still resurging.

Some news coming tomorrow... stay tuned! www.bluenote.com

That time in November, 1963 when Britain/Jamaica's Joe Harriott got a five-star review from U.S. jazz bible Down Beat.

A big deal for a jazz scene with a serious inferiority complex. #joeharriott #britishjazz #jamaica #abstract #freejazz #jazz

Ban the Bomb: Music of the Aldermaston Anti-Nuclear Marches

Brilliant - I went for Hits that Christmas.

The inevitable old man response - could you patch togather a similiarly strong compilation today?

Admirable wishful thinking on the sleeve notes on the surprisingly affordable 1969 British jazz compilation Jazz Explosion...

"...The Jazz Explosion of '69 is going to boom, and its reverberations will echo well into the seventies!"

I knew the terrifying Harry Kane statue reminded me of something

I thought it was a blues album - worth a gamble for £1.99. Where it all started.

Kate Bush in 1979 at her flat in Brockley, with her new, £18k Fairlight next to the radiator, FFS.

This is one of the best and warmest tellings of the classic tale of a hep London 50s bebopper happily settling down into the 80s and 90s as a backer for Sinatra and other standards-bearers.

And Vic Ash signed it! Though not to me. Could it be that Bobby Atkin? #vicash

A cheering find for my first post on BlueSky. Spotted on Discogs. "A Case Of Jazz" by Shake Keane And The Michael Garrick Quartette. Anyone got a spare £250?

It has a breakdown of the band members by height.

Shake Keane: 6ft. 3ins. in socks
