Alyn is in 1950s mode with the odd look back..... as an Oscar Pettiford completeist this track interests me:
Julian does more Quercus for those who like that sort of thing
Geoffrey essays Jack Teagarden touching on his sides with Bobby Hackett [underestimated as commercial] and Louis A .... [one of the interesting questions in jazz for me is when and why Armstrong's tone and style changed into the poetic strengths of his later style]
Jon3 gives out in all directions at once - how universal of them ...

Fete Quaqua Festival 2013
Jez Nelson presents a series of short sets from the Fete Quaqua festival at the Vortex in London.
Quaqua is Latin for 'in every direction'; guitarist John Russell's annual celebration of free improvisation draws musicians from the UK and beyond to explore existing collaborations and one-off groupings. It's a music that's fresh and surprising every time ? and inevitably ephemeral. In the words of Irish pianist and Quaqua newbie Paul G Smyth, "it couldn't have been made by any of the individuals, it only sounds the way it does because of the people involved". This year's line up of 12 players includes the UK's Rachel Musson (sax), Alison Blunt (violin), Lawrence Casserley (electronics) and returning international artist Ute Wasserman (voice).

Brits. Way back in the early 70s, I think it was in an interview with Leonard Feather, Miles Davis said we need the "Mammies" to run alongside the Grammies, always makes me think of the MOBOs.
