  4. Casey Benjamin RIP

    in Artists

    Posted

    Online sources, quoting family reporting this sad news. Dead at 45.

    Not too sure how much he means to too many here but I saw him rip it up with Glasper a few years ago. He also played in later Stefon Harris groups and lots of others along the way.

    Stuck at my mother in law's, in rainy Devon, forcing the kids to listen to this mix of free jazz piano and tuneless vocals and accordion, whilst we play dominoes on the floor. Real character building stuff.

    I'm impressed by your mother-in-law's album collection

    90s night time TV throwback 

     

    Matlock first popped up for me on the Braxton 12 Comp Zim set. Been a fan of his since I heard that. Definitely recommended if you haven't yet checked that out. 

    Thanks, I bought one of the Zim nights as a download as I think it was the one I saw at Cafe Oto, which also means I probably heard Matlock that night. It was a great night's music that's for sure

  15. What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

    Which was the last great Tindersticks album in your opinion .... ?

    I stopped listening to them very early, at 'Curtains', and I'm not sure why now at this distance. So my favourite remains the first one.

    My interest is piqued again so I think I'll stream some of the later ones. Obviously you rate 'Simple Pleasure' highly as you post it often so I'll start there. Which other later one would you suggest I try?

    I think that's a fabulous release, admittedly after only one listen. The drumming on 'Africa' is almost worth the entry cost alone

    This was intended as a joke, but I popped into Rough Trade today during an office fire drill to see the second hand racks (and I mean display racks, not the Sale boxes) full of Dixieland.

    They'd obviously bought a job lot of old jazz from somewhere. The swing comps and west coast stuff (some quite significant records in the latter category) were stuck into the sale box, but the Dixieland went on the racks.

    Rough Trade and Dixieland, not a pairing I'd ever imagined. Good use of fire drill time though, well done!
