Former Brotherhood of Breath, Mike Westbrook and Harry Miller's Isipingo saxophonist, Mike Osborne, died two days ago. Not a well known sax player, but a much respected one within the jazz circuit. A sad loss indeed. In pace, requiescat, Mike Osborne.  -------------

Important contributor to the belated release but revelatory 2005 album by John Surman Way Back When (originally recorded in 1969) - telling there was more than Nucleus and Soft Machine in the pioneering British jazz rock scene. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Yep, indeed there was. Don't forgot Graham Collier Sextet either, featuring a certain John Marshall and Karl Jenkins in the lineup. There's even an earlier version of Nucleus's (but Collier penned) "Lullabye for a Lonely Child" on the album I have by them (him). I don't, unfortunately, have anything with Mike Osborne on. Apparently he stopped playing saxophone in 1984, due to health issues. -------------
