Neil, never heard of Paul Bley??? I'm surprised. Maybe you know of his maybe more popular wife pianist Carla Bley? Both staples of the jazz scene. V Ca manque a ta culture mon Neil! Just teasing... and... always listening!

Very interesting quote from the bass player. It rings so true!! I love bass players so this really gave me something to listen for in the future. Boom! Another 3-pointer on the court, boys!!!!

I knew that AKA. And while I was listening to the last track on that side, after my last comment I thought of you right away and hoped you were listening knowing you would just love that last track on Side 2.. I may have heard of Paul but it is lost in the fog of my journey through many, many festivals, concerts and clubs. hahaha I have CERTAINLY heard of him now.

Don't forget, I lost about 35 years of vinyl in an uninsured flood in the basement. I could have had some of his or her recordings, or certainly records with them playing in that eclectic collection. Don't really like dredging up that memory

Bc
Maybe because of your jamaica trips ;) or the bob marley concerts ;) Speaking of flood, I just want to say I hope everybody in my ckcu listening family is ok. Up here in khumeia land,, there are 2 communities still in a State of emergency. I have no damage. OK. On with the show!
