Now listening to this. It's aged very well. Such a "clever" album with all its influences and parts working towards such a satisfying whole. It sounded both of and out of its time on release and to some extent still does Thanks for encouraging me to reinvestigate after 20+ years

The Doobie Brothers - Takin' It To The Streets Teenage, pre-Punk, soundtrack That was a big album for me when it was released, haven't heard it in years. I wonder how well it dates.

Michael McDonald Tom Johnston Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter

I'll give 'The Willisau Concert' and the Jazz Epistles a spin today in his memory. Two excellent and very different recordings.

Thanks, yes, I'll check on the label, good idea that. I'm just intrigued.

Giorgio Gaslini - Composizione Cameristiche [Durium, Italy 1966]

Do you know when it was recorded by any chance? I can't see any date reference on the labels or the sleeve. Now onto, Music For Flute & Tape [Nonesuch, USA 1974]

I have an album somewhere with a credit for shofar. I think it's a eastern european sax player, possibly Trzaska. I'll have a look Looks like I was thinking of this https://kilogramrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shofar just in the name not played

Schlomovitz/Polin - Contemporary Music for Harp and Flute [Ars Nova, USA] Initial listen to this new arrival. With thanks to @Teasing the Koreanfor making me aware of it with a post a few weeks ago. And with thanks to @HutchFanfor his assistance in getting it to the UK. This is going to get a lot of plays.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen Cave left me behind a few years ago, I used to be a very big fan. Listening to this I'm wondering if I should go and listen to the albums I have missed. This is very strong.

Oh yes!

Sonny Red Booker Little Tiny Grimes

I still remember hearing that for the first time. A truly great band who even this week were proving how ahead of the pack they still are with their hometown gig with minimal environmental impact. https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/aug/23/massive-attack-music-industry-climate-inaction

Bob Bruce Babs

Polly Styrene Siouxsie Sioux Viv Albertine

Thanks, shall start just there, 'Anything Goes' is on Tidal so that's my first port of call

That sounds like a pretty terrific day's music

Worse than under-recognised here, I've never heard her name let alone her music, sorry Nancy. Tidal have some albums, not Hutchfan's though, so I shall sample
