Dudu Pukwana's Zila, with Pinise Saul in the vocalist's chair, the wonderful Harry Beckett, and a young, and very good, Django Bates on acoustic piano - from a BBC broadcast ca. 1983, introduced by the evermuch missed Charles Fox.

Wayne Shorter - Schizophrenia
On the first track atm, 'Tom Thumb' - it has an R'n'B vibe. Very promising so far.Comment

Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet: Shades of Blue
I now have all five of the Jazzman LP reissues, and they’re superb in every way. They’ve retained the aesthetics of the original releases, and the sound is of audiophile quality. Highly recommended.

Excellent, I saw him on that same tour at the Albert Hall. I remember Eric Clapton getting a cheering round of applause etc as he made his way up to his seat during the set. Otis looked up from the stage perplexed. White people.Comment

Miles Davis- December 22, 1965 Plugged Nickel Club, Chicago (2nd set)
As we know, Miles was a bit out of sorts on these dates, but they nevertheless remain classics despite but also strangely because of it... but the live shows from 67 are even better of course.Comment

Wish I'd been there. Did see the American Folk Blues Festival in London, 1964 with Howlin' Wolf, Hubert Sumlin, Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Sleepy John Estes, Sunnyland Slim & Sugar Pie Desanto. Very memorable.

Wolf, introduced by his "fans", and I certainly give them credit for that, "Shindig" US TV 1965, Wolf's first US TV EVER, thanks to the Stones. A culture shock to white America...Originally posted by Jazzrook View Post

"Blues guitarist Buddy Guy said of the (Howling Wolf) Shindig TV appearance, “It was the light at the end of the tunnel. There was a boundary line which no one thought could be crossed, and The Rolling Stones broke it by getting Wolf on that show”. It was something we would never even have thought of. The hairs were just standing on my head.”
Bill Wyman recalled how this came about.
“We had requested that blues artists Howlin’ Wolf and Son House should be on the show with us. We were in hysterics when Jack Good persistently referred to him in his proper English as “Mr Howlin'”..”
Said Keith Richards, “I’ll always remember (pop promoter) Jack Good’s voice on the set, very English, calling out “Er, Howlin’, could you do that again?” and “Er, Mr Wolf…”
Jimmy O’Neill interviewed Brian Jones on the show. Jones told him, “We started because we wanted to play rhythm and blues, and Howlin’ Wolf was one of our greatest idols.”
These were amazing words – “greatest idols” – from a blonde white guy at a time in American history when Wolf might have been refused service at many restaurants in the South."
All credit.
