Excerpts from the concert, including an interview with Maria and Mário, were broadcast on the BBC World Service on 24 November 2001.

The sound quality is quite poor - even by my fairly undemanding standards. The BBC World Service is aimed primarily at overseas listeners and reception in the UK can leave something to be desired.

That is all I have from Maria - until she visits England again.

I did not have a spare tape with me, so the recording ends after about an hour. If you can assist with the title of the first piece, please leave a comment.

The performance was subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio and I think I have a recording of it somewhere. I'll upload it if I find it.

John Scofield, Mark-Anthony Turnage, 11 February 2006

John Scofield Trio, Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Scorched
Joe Lovano (saxophone) - A Man Descending
Barbican, London
Saturday, 11 February 2006

This was the first outing with a new cassette recorder and I learnt the hard way how easy it was to press some of the buttons uninitentionally. A Man Descending was accidentally recorded at double-play i.e. half speed. Mishaps with the pause button meant I lost most of the John Scofield Trio performance in the first half of the programme, along with one or two movements at the start of Scorched. But I hope it is better than nothing. Comparisons with the Deutsche Grammophon release of 2002 will show how the piece has evolved during the intervening period.

Glenn Branca - Hallucination City

Camden Roundhouse - 12th October 2007

In four movements: “March”, “Anthem”, “Drive” and “Vengeance”. This is an almost complete recording, just the last minute or so of the final movement is missing. Unfortunately, my recorder was accidentally set to double play i.e. half speed, so the quality is not quite what it might have been.

10. No Expectations
11. credits & announcements
12. What'd I Say - false starts
13. encore - nobody over at www.iorr.org seems to know what it is, so I think it must just be a 12-bar improvisation

There is some heavy mic scraping for the first few seconds, but this only intrudes on the announcements.
I lost about 10 seconds in the middle of "You Gotta Move" where the tape went into reverse. There is a slightly bigger bit lost from the middle of "Blind Willie McTell" to swap tapes.
