Richard Barbieri/Steve Jansen - Very atmospheric, but with more energy than it seems after multiple listenings. This live album also includes Mick Karn on bass, and Steven Wilson on guitar

Very sad, for sure. And one of my favorites. He performed in so many different settings and formats, he was hard to categorize. Which made him that much more special.

I enjoy all the Angles stuff, but this one is my favorite. I mean, the point of having a roof is so someone can blow it off, right?

Gheorghe, Sorry to hear that about your wife, I know how much you loved her. My first wife died when we were both 52, after a two plus year long battle with cancer, and that too was too young. I was lucky to find love again--love is the one thing I've been lucky in when my thirties finally came around.  My nightmare is sort of over. . .except now there is about four or five weeks of my wife's recuperating where I will be the nurse. I'm up for it.

Would it not make sense for all these national “societies” to pool their resources under one roof - an international Ellington society?
