  3. Jazz Middelheim was (and still is) the festival to attend in August.
    As for BoB, what can I say? One of greatest "free" big bands of its time. Thanks for this beautiful and cooking post.

  4. I might have this one, but I'm taking no chances, so thanks in any case!

    At this point, Harry Beckett was the only one left of the original line-up, save the leader, of course. Thomas Dyani, son of Johnny Dyani?

  6. Kinabalu, I only did main post for what mew23 posted before Christmas in Contributions, using his link. Anyway, may I remind you about posting District Six - Free To Be? And one more album from the same area comes to my mind, first Dreamtime - Bunny Up, anybody have it?

    h-a-b - thanks for clarification about Dyani. At least one more family member in this version of BoB.

  12. Hi Milos
    I've heard people talking about this live broadcast but didn't heard it until your re-post. it is a really great concert perhaps more quiet than the early b.o.b but equally interesting. Thank for the post
