Ronald Shannon Jackson 12 January 1940 - 19 October 2013


I just learnt of the passing away of Ronald Shannon Jackson at the age of 73: He was suffering from leukemia. I saw Shannon Jackson twice, first with the Decoding Society in my home town and then with Last Exit at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Scheweningen in 1987, just outside the Hague. I also bought several Decoding Society records back in the 80s and I believe they can still be found easily.

Much later I found out that the NSJF gig was videotaped and parts of it also appeared on "Cassette Recordings" out on the Enemy label the same year. So what I can offer here in memory of Shannon Jackson is a little over 40 minutes of Last Exit at the NSJF.

VANESSA MACKNESS and BARRY GUY. 1989





















As I recall, after a phenomenal Elton Dean Qt gig at the Duke of Wellington in 1989, Vanessa Mackness and her friend Andree asked if I'd send a copy of my cassette recording.  In return, Andree sent me this recording of Vanessa in duet with Barry Guy.  I hope nobody objects to me posting this music by an incredibly well-matched, fast-listening duo. After making recordings with John Butcher, Derek Bailey and Company, it appears Vanessa left the scene to concentrate on her painting.

BOBBY WATSON'S TAILOR MADE BIG BAND - AFROISMS. GLASGOW 1994

















A slightly less than perfect recording off the radio - I just found this cassette which used to get a lot of play in my Walkman at work.  With no info on the cassette, I had to google to try and find some details.  I found a review of the concert which said the music didn't hang together, was under rehearsed and too long.  Well you could have fooled me! Bobby Watson composes some of the most attractive music in jazz and this concert was really fantastic (in my opinion).  Enjoy.
