Midweek #goodiesdrop: this remarkable 'lost' album from your virtuoso dad, @gidcoe.bsky.social, superbly produced by the peerless #JazzInBritain label. & this incredible collection of stories from @kylerseibel.bsky.social, pinged across the pond in lightning-fast time: I'm already crying w/laughter.

Ever wondered how Jazz music came to Britain?

Join us this Friday, 10 Oct, for a FREE TALK by Dick Lee, clarinetist, band leader and educator.

Afterwards, we've got a musical gig with Ken Mathieson's Classic Jazz Orchestra.

I was given this album by Kevin Figes last week. It's a tribute to Keith Tippett and was better than I was expecting. You can listen to it here jazznow.bandcamp.com/album/you-ar... and buy a copy for yourself. It's on the #JazzNow label, a subsidiary of the amazing #JazzinBritain label.

So, I can now part with my lovingly-worn-thin C120 taped directly off Radio 3 - but can I bear to ditch the studied dulcet tones of Charles Fox's intros? Anyway, highly recommended. #MikeWestbrook #JazzInBritain (though really ace #PanEuropeanJazz).

Towering. Don't believe me? Try this (only the first track available before re-release, but what an intro!): mikewestbrooklive72.bandcamp.com/album/mike-w... #MikeWestbrook #TheCortège #JazzInBritain

Now for a bit of #jazz on cassette night, think this was reissued on vinyl recently ?
