It is my contention that, in general, the best jazz albums have cello on them: Out There, Al-Fathiha, Coon Bid’ness, Live In Berlin 1991 etc etc

Throwing this out to the weirdo Hive Mind: does anyone have a copy of the Godz’ Third Testament on LP or CD? Is there any chance you could share a hi-res scan or photo of the front and rear sleeves? Need them for a thing…

Great to get out and play a couple of shows with Sir Richard Bishop over the weekend. Thanks to all at the Smokehouse and Chats Palace for looking after us. Here's a neat bit of footage from my set in Ipswich, and many thanks to Stuart for uploading it:

(Yes I recognise that the venn diagram of 'wants to see richard bishop', 'can go tonight', 'follows my bluesky' and 'near ipswich' is miniscule...)
