Link to download the edited Allan Holdsworth Tribute Shows recordings: 

The show for the 11th is loaded with either new releases or a few albums I've purchased recently. Diamond Dust had been recommended by En: this is a band from the SW of England who specialise in  rearranging and playing  John McLaughlin compositions. In passing 4 of the 5 starters have links to Tony Williams (New) Lifetime. Only discovered the Jack Bruce album after reading something about John Surman recordings of the early 70's : this line-up was a surprise to me and the 3CD set is a real bargain at Amazon at the moment. Jain is French singer I caught on Jules Holland's programme two Fridays ago: interesting pop infused with Afro sounds. Prog from Doris Brendel, Procol Harum and Isidurs Bane with Steve Hogarth. A short mention of Col Bruce Hampton, who died recently on stage. And something from my favourite NW USA band +1 (aka Kim Sajn).

You'll notice a number of Cuneiform Records releases, new and old. The new from an interest Swiss nu jazz group The Great Harry Hillman, French avantists Miriodor, and a welcome release (after a long time since the last) Bubblemath. (Also something from the previous and first Bubblemath release). The older releases from Led Bib, and the Mats Morgan Band. Thanks to Mike, aka Adult Cinema, for providing his recent album 'Teaser Trailer', a variety of interesting rock arrangements, which reminded me of that intense experimental period 1969-1972 (i.e. between 'In The Court of' and for instance, the classic Yes and Genesis albums, when boundaries were being pushed, i.e. progressed literally). Thanks to Ana Patan, for her new release. Must mention the triple CD set of Jack Bruce at the BBC, a recent discovery with line-ups not heard on disc elsewhere. And then the recent remastered Patto second album, 'Hold Your Fire'.... deliberately gone for two tracks featuring the great Ollie Halsall playing vibes, with which he gave both Patto and earlier Timebox that attractive jazzier edge.

En wrote me suggesting we should have a show featuring tracks by musicians influenced by Allan Holdsworth. So about half dozen tunes that approximately fall under that heading.... and I have to state immediately, most of these guitarists have developed their own individual playing styles... and I'll leave you to work out who. More from a couple of excellent new Cuneiform releases. My other favourite original guitarist and friend Gary Lucas, features demonstrating his range. And that other very recent Patto reissue, the eponymous album, with additional tracks.

A few new releases but decided to delve into the archives for most of the music for Thursday night. In part I lost a friend just 2 years ago, and as we shared a lot of music in common, so I'm at last dipping music we enjoyed together. Thanks to Trev for the loan of the UK recordings, which are both hidden on either expensive boxsets and Japanese imports. Also thanks to Marco Anderson of Foxy Productions for the jazz by Jazz Gnats Electronique and The Bird Architects.  Finally have you noticed too  several tunes are included, fusing world music  with other forms.

I read that 47th Anniversary of the release of Machine's Third LP was last week, so a chance to play a favourite of good length, 'Moon In June', which in turn was the source of the eclectic record label (we have something from the new Machine Mass album from Moonjune Records). A couple of new tunes from Bent Knee -  who have moved away from Cuneiform to Inside Out Records. Also a newie from The Tangent. As to the rest? A little complaint came last week from a listener that we weren't being eclectic enough, I trust the mix meets his (or her) and of course your approval this week.  Finally, with the university's academic term finishing on the 21st June, this show in theory should be the last until October. However, we are hoping putting at least another one together for next week. Further, talking with Jack, our senior engineer, there is a probability that a number of past shows some going back to 2013, will play on our sustain service at 9pm Thursday night through the summer break, and for our American listeners repeated, i.e. aiming at sensible times for the east and west coasts... more news when and if this is sorted.
