I was staggered to see that Nicola Farnon is on JL and this might be fascinating to hear her music at last. My uncle is a fan and her discs were very difficult to find and had to be purchased from her website so I have exchanged a few e-mails with her. The experience of corresponding to her about jazz was particularly interesting and I thought she seemed very pleasant. For a while she stopped playing to have kids or some other reason so it is good learn that she is back on the scene. -

the guitarist is playing four in a bar and the expectation might be that one will hear a certain tightness, a groove, a feel of swing; certainly on the material .... but Walter, Freddie and Jo it weren't ... it was muddy and i could feel no centre to their rhythm at all and went to bed ...Unforgiveable...
the Kairos 4tet and John Martin recordings sounded pretty good to me ....
i feel we should take Tim Whitehead far more seriously, this is brilliant music making and i am going to get the album:
sinuous felt deeply and moving in expression and development, a celebration of images quite as profound as Tracey's celebration of poetry ...According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Completely concur with your disappointments with that part of the b/cast, Calum. My feeling's that Tim Whitehead has been serioujsly overlooked for many years now - one of nature's deep thinkers. For me, Liam Noble comes up with the goods too, every time. Amazingly versatile guy.

I would agree, Serialist. Picked up Authentic - his 1991 live set at Ronnie Scott's - aeons ago...before Internet ordering feasible, and Mole Jazz was advertising in the jazz magazines.Comment
