Jul. 26th, 2021

Well, the weather is much more variable now, but at least it is not as hot, or now at least.

Today I may well be heading towards Westwood Cross to do a mobile phone store visit. If not, it must be completed tomorrow. I am expecting an LP to arrive today via Discogs. It was very reasonably priced and cheaper than the CD version. It is David Murray's "Ming" album from the eighties.
I have other albums by the saxophonist, but all on CD.

Postman is usually early on Monday, so we shall see.

Yes, it is here. Ming by David Murray. One of the 40 best jazz LPs from the eighties according to Wire.

Recorded in 1980 and on the Black Saint label from Italy.

This is from Wire -

Listening to it now - and wow it's hot!
Post tracks later.
