RIP Jimmy Cobb. One of the most influential jazz drummers of all time, featuring on Kind Of Blue, Giant Steps, Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane, and the 2018 VMP Classics release Miles Davis & John Coltrane – The Final Tour.

Happy 83rd Birthday to Archie Shepp. One of my favourite live performances was seeing Shepp at the Barbican a few years ago. Heres to many more.
On S2 E2 of Ozarks and they play Townes Van Zandt - Waiting Around To Die. Very cool!
I offered up 32 rap 12" for sale to a guy looking for them on a facebook vinyl page (sent photos etc), and said I would take £50 which I think was fair (I told him there were 2 Tribe Called Quests that had recently sold for £25 on their own on ebay). He then said £32 is more than fair and that he was doing me a favour by buying a stack.....
Had great fun over on @feesrevenge Complete Collection thread. Spent a good half an hour digging through my collection!
Watched 'Catch Me If You Can' for the first time in a while. It gets even crazier once you read the wikipedia entry.....
Happy Birthday @AndySlash! Hope you've had a great day!!
Just ordered a record from France and received an email minutes later from the seller congratulating me and saying he thinks its likely to be the last available copy in the whole of France
Did anyone else stupidly think they would be able to save money during the lockdown? I've spent more money on records than any other month!!! Going to have to cut down for the next dozen months or so...
RIP Jymie Merritt. A fantastic bass player that paved the way with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
Big day today! 50th Anniversary of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. Happy birthday to a stunning album!
Had a really rough few weeks but dipping in and out of here over the last few days has been a nice relief. Had a few messages as well so cheers for that too.
Just saw the instagrammer (if thats the term?) 'Mionyl' post some scathing stories about VMP to her 45K followers. Shes still waiting for refunds and has advised not to sign up until they sort themselves out. Not good for those guys!
Big respect to the Welsh singer, Duffy, for being able to come forward about her awful kidnapping. I've only ever read great things about her and hopefully she had/has all the support she needs. -
