All Activity

I wish I'd pushed on to Zia, as it was right there (a mere twenty minutes drive from The Inner Groove) and the din er thing I had to get to was more relaxed than I had assumed. But then jet lag maketh fools of us all. Anyway, cool place. Easily the best descent from the air I have ever seen: red desert, the Grand canyon, massive aqueducts, geometric square developments.

Peterson & Pass & Brown – The Giants

The Messthetics are described as "Washington DC’s experimental jazz punk trio". I don't think I'd go that far but whatever it is, it's not for me.

Tom Harrell “Time’s Mirror” RCA cd This is a 1999 Grammy nominated big band session that really delivers.

Recorded @ Atheneum Hall Bucharest in June 1994 .... captivating ....

For me sort of companion album to Helen Merrill and Sarah Vaughan on EmArcy ....

Butthole Surfers "Rembrandt Pussyhorse" (Touch And Go) 1986 ....

👍

Nelson Gonzalez "Pa' Los Treseros" (Agogo) 2001 .... still available via the "secondary market" for little money .... wholeheartedly recommended ....

Nelson Gonzalez "Pa' Los Treseros" (Agogo) 2001 .... sublime son starting with vocals before gliding into excellent instrumental solo contributions ....

I also compared a few tracks of that latest Fremeaux release, which is now also available on streaming services (I use Qobuz) and it does sound very nice.

Inner Fold Out Cover of David Bowie "Lodger" (RCA Records) 1979 ....

Sticking to the romantic era this recording finds Jorge Bolet in his forte ....

Mickey Jupp „As The Years Go By“ (Line Records) 1991 ….

Aftertaste : masses of dark red plums and a very long finish .... mhhhm ....

People Like Us „Welcome Abroad“ (Illegal Art) 2011 ….

Catherine Wheel „Like Cat And Dogs“ (Mercury) 1996 ….

Recorded @ Rathaussaal Leipzig in January 2008 .... one of the this superb ensnsemble`s last recordings .... impeccable technique and with considerable verve ....

That's less than I paid and I collected it from Café Oto!

I used to look at Burning Ambulance a fair bit before it went to Substack, not sure why not since. It covered a breadth of music, not just Jazz but predominantly so. It was always very readable. I'm hoping this will be good. CT deserves that at the very least, lots to get in.

👍 Yep! How about this one?
