Continuing their ongoing series of reissues of music by Derek Bailey, Honest Jon's Records present a first vinyl reissue of Aida, originally released on the guitarist's own Incus label in 1980. Expanded for this release, the present version of this masterwork adds two hitherto unreleased gems recorded solo for Charles Fox's Radio 3 program Jazz in Britain, in the same few months of 1980 as the stunning original performances. The phrase "in the moment" is often bandied about with reference to free improvisation, and indeed there's no better way to describe Derek Bailey's playing. The acoustic guitar is notoriously lacking in natural reverberation - notes barely hang in the air for a couple of seconds before they disappear - which explains the almost non-stop flow of new material in these stellar performances. Bailey knew from one split-second to the next exactly where to find the same pitch on different strings, either as a stopped tone or a ringing harmonic, and there's never a note out of place. "He who kisses the joy as it flies," in the words of William Blake, "lives in eternity's sunrise" - and this music is forever in the moment, constantly active but never gabby, kissing the joy. One of the special pleasures of the BBC set is the guitarist's own laconic commentary, a deliciously deadpan description of what he's doing while he's doing it. "I like to think of it - as a kind of music" - and the interaction between words and music is a particular delight. "You may have noticed a certain lack of variety," he quips, while unleashing a furiously complex volley. Is it a coincidence that the final seconds recall the famous cycling fifths of the coda to Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight"? Surely not; Bailey, like Monk, was a note man par excellence; they're both still alive and well in eternity's sunrise.

A SWEET AND LOVELY JOURNEY
Format: Kindle
These characters were so much fun. The story flowed beautifully with a strong love and a sweet little boy, who sometimes was a holy terror. My only child was a boy and I could relate to adding another “mom” to our family. That little boy is now, himself, a grandfather (Poppy) to three sweet kids.

Heartwarming and adorable
Format: Kindle
It's not often that I cry happy tears but damnit this book made me well up at the end. I adored every single word of this story. It was just adorable and both women are so so sweet and while it wasn't angst free none of the angst came from miscommunication or anything cliche. This was just a great time from start to finish. I lost sleep to read and I have no regrets.

A Captivating Romance of Love, Growth, and Second Chances
Format: Kindle
Erin Corcoran, a single mom still reeling from her divorce, hires a babysitter for the summer, never expecting to fall for her. Blair Breckenridge, fresh out of college and unsure of her future, takes the job to appease her parents but quickly finds herself drawn to Erin and her son. As their connection deepens, Erin fears Blair’s impulsive nature, while Blair must prove she’s ready for the responsibilities of love and family.
Fallen Together by Erica Lee is a beautifully crafted romance that balances emotional depth with an engaging storyline. The novel delivers well-developed characters who experience genuine growth, making for an authentic and compelling read.
Erin is a woman scarred by abandonment, hesitant to trust again, while Blair, despite her initial uncertainty about life, displays remarkable maturity in the way she cares for both Erin and her son, Nolan. Their dynamic is both tender and complex, as Blair proves she is more than just a carefree young woman, she is someone capable of deep love and responsibility. Nolan himself is a delightful mix of chaos and charm, adding a layer of realism and heart to the story.
The novel’s strength lies in its character development and pacing. Both protagonists evolve naturally, making choices that feel true to who they are while ultimately prioritizing what matters most to them. The chemistry between Erin and Blair is undeniable, and their journey is filled with emotional nuance, humor, and warmth.
With excellent plot development and a steady narrative flow, Fallen Together is a captivating read that holds engagement from start to finish. Erica Lee has crafted a romance that is not only passionate but also deeply satisfying in its exploration of trust, love, and the courage to embrace the unexpected.

A delightfully wholesome romance
Format: Kindle
This book is the perfect example of why I love Erica Lee's writing so much. She has an amazing talent for depicting love and relationships in such a wholesome and compassionate light, and it makes her books a delight to read and this is no exception. It doesn't hurt that she manages to balance humor, spice, and snark in a way that has me consistently falling in love with her characters.
I seriously can't recommend this book enough. I had to force myself to put it down at 1 AM and the lost sleep was absolutely worth it.
