What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Joseph K]

Allan Holdsworth also played violin sometimes; do you happen to know of any recordings with him on it, Joseph?

No, sorry.

[Serial_Apologist]

No, sorry.

He may of course have dropped the instrument in his later years to concentrate on his main instrument(s); I was just going on a Peter Clayton remark in introducing the Allan Holdsworth/Ray Warleigh Quintet on a 1973 or 4 broadcast, of which I was very lucky to be given a cassette, albeit slightly worn - a double session of which the first half was Gilgamesh.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Just to follow up on Ian's fine Kate McGarry clip, Christine Tobin interpreting Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" in fine company, and her old man on the geetar.

If you're going "folk", Karen Dalton, late 1960s playing & singing Tampa Red/Elmore James "It hurts me too". Dylan's favourite female singer at the time, her life ended in booze, heroin, incontinence and the loss of all her teeth. A warning to young people everywhere, but I find her and this strangely moving.

Mike Westbrook's Brass Band playing 'Mama Chicago' with Kate Westbrook, Phil Minton, Alan Wakeman, Chris Biscoe, Malcolm Griffiths, Steve Cook & Dave Barry,
I remember this wonderful film being shown on BBC TV in the early 1980s and was glad to discover that a DVD is now available:

Really useful since I was unaware of this film, only having acquired my very first TV in 1984! - Wonderful, and thanks JR!

IOU was recorded in 1982, so, quite early on in Holdsworth's career, then.

It's a pity we don't get to hear Corea's nor anyone elses's solo.

Have to say, that recording didn't really work for me, when it first came out - which, iirc, was a few years after the event. I think the "Impressions" track was played in its entirety on a broadcast at the time, and I taped it onto cassette, which I would still have. Maybe time to wheel out for a re-assessment.

Thanks Joseph. It was just one part of the much larger event that I remember now. Must give that a listen - there are some very amusing comments below the link!
