Hi Rod, I've been listening to both versions of the death and resurrection of Christ that you sent me. Thanks again for that and indeed the rather splendid Penderecki at 80 collection. Reason for the mail is that I can't seem to find any details online regarding the version conducted by the man himself. Do you have any? Just my curiosity is all. Hope all is well. Best Dave H.

Wish I knew about the falafel house, Tomato Head is I think the veg pace I referenced. I was limited to a block or two from the main square which was a big problem given time restraints. I wasn't there for the food though.

I was going to mention the food, which was ok-ish and not quite as "brown" as it gets out of town (deep fried and coated with whatever it is*), but with the exception of the veggie place on the square it was a little too burger burger burger fo…

My first year I swanked it up at The Oliver, enjoyed it so much (including their "secret" library cocktail bar) that I tried to book it the following year about 6 months early.

Cheers, managed a cheeky rip for audition purposes. The second cd of that reissue you linked to looks like just the thing that scares off my non jazz devoted friends with an entire disc of false starts /breakdowns etc. which rea…(Quote)
I had no idea this existed I think, so thanks very much for the heads up. Oh wait it is on the not Google-able American label isn't it? Anyhow many thanks! (You Tube can sort folk out for a listen).

Looks like I was there 2014 and 2015, I remember that the next year my knee was already causing trouble and they started to fuck around with queue jumping tickets at silly prices, a real shame as I was meeting a couple of semi local f…(Quote) Can't remember the year but I saw Frisell play in a trio to accompany a showing of Bill Morrison's The Great Flood film at Big Ears one year; at the Bijou which is a lovely place. I wonder if you were there for that, also(Quote)
Seconded, time was I had at least 50% of what the label put out, but now? Anyway a great compilation and I note they've just released another Marcos Valle album. [EDIT Just noticed the Valle album is a free download if you like …^^^ ^^^A real pity that the first VdGG album isn't included, though I understand why. At least Repertoire and Hammill's own label have reissued it and yes I understand that were it not for contracts The Aerosol Grey Machine …(Quote)
Love that video, nice find. My first job in London was at Hamley's the famous toy shop. One day a young girl came in with a dog soft toy and the stitching had come away at the neck. Heartless creature wanted a replacement. I too…(Quote)
Nice find and there are (I think) another three in the series.

And moving right alongAnd I moved on to this from the same label.
…Well I had my usual "your card has been declined" rubbish yesterday with Bandcamp (it only seems to happen on BC Fridays) anyway I picked a few thing up including this chap getting repeat plays.(Quote)
Good call @Confused; not only is that an interesting listen I was thinking just the other day that it might be a nice thing to have all in What are you listening to right now?
