Lovely to see a bit of colour where we live. Spring is well and truly here.
-
^^^ Already mentioned The Franciscans in the 3rd post. Or like the waves, did that one wash over you? ??
-
Walk to the bottom of the sea - The Franciscans Lighthouse - Ocie Smith In fact, I'm sure both tracks use exactly the same sea/seagull sound effects!

Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean-Ruth Brown

Nice performance... -
They say that our jobs will be replaced by robots. I'm going the other way and taking over theirs. They'll never know what hit 'em and they'll never know it's me!

Nope, but there's a hotel nearby and we're very close to Schiphol!
-
You wouldn't be wrong. Lots of big pike in the waterways around us. Have a look here. They're all local pics... http://www.schweglerbotenverhuur.nl/vangsten%20op%20locatie%202006.htm

Took a midweek afternoon trip to a nearby pancake house/cafe on what was a lovely, sunny spring day (bit of a nippy breeze though). It's a favourite haunt in the Amsterdam woods and we stopped long enough to catch the sun setting over Schiphol airport. The pancake house has a number of deer there with the males showing definite signs of spring fever!

Sorry to say there's not a night on during those dates. Not that I'm aware of anyway.

Thanks!

It seemed so obvious I was surprised no one had mentioned it already - and that made me doubt my eyes.

CD4 (Northern Soul Collector 2) - the guy in the middle is Bobby Freeman. https://www.discogs.com/artist/372977-Bobby-Freeman CD11 (Northern Soul) - the woman on the bottom (standing to the right of the group) looks remarkably like Eartha Kitt!

Nah, in my book rare groove is a scene, not a genre. That said, so much music defies being labelled – usually when it's infused with different styles and cultural flavours, which is exactly the case with Jon Lucien's stuff.

And now back to jazz… Fontella Bass and her husband's (Lester Bowie) jazz group, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, performing Theme de Yoyo.

Jean Carter 'like one' Decca playability Q?
Amsterdam Russ replied to Tlscapital's topic in Look At Your Box
This one always springs to mind, although there are a couple of very clean sounding copies on YouTube. This one, posted up by John Manship, has the hiss common to most copies, which I've always presumed was down to a pressing fault. -
That's a good way of describing it.
-
^^^ IMHO, I wouldn't call that "jazz" in the slightest. It's a great fusion of styles that includes elements of jazz, but it's not jazz. Far from it in my book. And I say that as someone who likes Jon Lucien very much.

Absolutely love this from British jazz musician, John Surman - 10 minutes of jazz dance pleasure! Well, wish I could dance to this sort of stuff in the style of the jazz dancers who thrived on the London scene in the 80s and 90s!
-
Coltrane does it for me - although not anywhere near as keen on his more free-form/experimental works. Just love this interpretation of Mongo Santamaria's Afro Blue from the series Jazz Casual. This whole episode featuring the classic John Coltrane Quartet is fantastic!
-
Two marvellous sets thoroughly enjoyed by a very receptive and appreciative crowd. Big thanks to both you and Lynne for coming over and giving Amsterdam a huge musical treat. Loved every minute of it.

Short video from Northern Soul Amsterdam, March 2016, with special guest DJs from Scotland, Dave and Lynne Girdwood. Info about our soul nights can be found at: www.northernsoulamsterdam.nl -
Looking at legit releases, I think you'd have to look at the major soul labels, and Motown in particular. Its output was released in many countries worldwide meaning that any given 45 could have been issued in every one. Then you'd have to look at the releases of any of those 45s across all of those markets. Basically, a Motown 45 could have lots and lots of releases.

Have to agree - they epitomise the summer as do the swifts, which I just love hear screaming through bright sunshine and cloudless skies. They're my soundtrack to summer. Come on all of you guys - get a move on! I'm a bit concerned though. Considering current attitudes to migrants coming through Greece, will they be allowed to enter the UK?

Yesterday on Facebook, a friend on the Greek island of Lesvos posted up a freshly-taken pic of a group of swallows, which means that they're on their way…

One posted in Sales not long ago...
