Doll By Doll

I've mentioned before how much I liked Doll By Doll. Buying their first single unheard purely for their use of Artaud on the sleeve.
An astonishing live act whether it was the second line up on the left or the latter version which at times saw Jackie dressed as a very imposing Samurai warrior (and was that Claire from Amazulu on bass one time?)
It was a sad day for music when Mr Leven died

Courtney Pine on 'A Love Supreme' 50 years on (BBC)

Often cited as one of the greatest albums ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme is revered not just by jazz aficionados but music fans the world over. Fifty years after its release, British saxophonist Courtney Pine explores what makes it such a unique and important record.
John Coltrane intended A Love Supreme to be a spiritual record - a declaration of his religious beliefs and personal spiritual quest. However the album also had a wider cultural significance. It was released in February 1965, just days after black rights activist Malcolm X was assassinated and weeks before Martin Luther King led the March on Alabama, and for many the sound and feel of the music captures perfectly the sadness, confusion and anger of America's growing black consciousness movement.
Courtney visits Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn, North London, where Coltrane performed on a tour in 1961. He is joined by a trio of leading British jazz saxophonists - Nat Birchall, Finn Peters and Jason Yarde - whose lives have been inspired and shaped by A Love Supreme and the music and spirit of John Coltrane.
Our quartet of musicians explore why the album touches so many and continues to do so with each new generation

Although I have to say that my favourite jazz album of all time is Ayler's 'Spiritual Unity' every time I listen to 'A Love Supreme' it always brings to mind the late, great Sean Oliver from Rip, Rig & Panic whose fave jazz album it was and how often we good-naturedly tried to convert each other to our cause
