Ah it's a pity ECM have neglected the dedicated vinyl lover. I'm missing out on so much stuff :(
Anyway that's a very unusual combination of artists even though I'm only familiar with June T....
You may have heard Huw Warren, the pianist, as he is a regular with June Tabor on a number of her more recent albums. Wonderful player.
The album is very "English" in style - somewhat similar to the folk influenced John Surman albums which you recommended to me recently.

Two recent June Tabor albums come to mind
At the wood's heart - a very melodic and musical album with the heartbreaking "cloud factory"
Aqaba - very austere, stark record and the voice is perfect and unique.

Thanks for tips on June. Oh, should I rephrase that? :)

Im new here so not sure if this has been posted yet, but being well into my Nordic jazz I can't recommend this guy highly enough. Tord Gustavsen, while he can be a bit slow for some tastes this is sublime melancholy piano playing with accompaniment from tenor saxophonist Toro Brunborg.

I have a few of his albums and I really love them. Perfect for late night with a glass of something strong.

Oh my, I was at the Sonny Rollins concert in the Olympia Theatre in Cork in late October 1981 and it was the musical experience of a lifetime: the enormous energy and musicality of the man is astonishing, he had the audience in the palm of his hand for the entire performance, what a musician! He is beautiful, beyond compare.
Relatively unknown Sonny Rollins performance reminiscent of his early 60s The Bridge days when he replaced piano with guitar. Τhis time a young Bobby Broom takes the place of Jim Hall but the great Bob Cranshaw on bass -- who's been with Rollins on and off for 5 decades -- remains a staple on both outfits. Filmed live at the third Montreal International Jazz Festival on July 4, 1982.
