P.S. Rod, that Afro-Latin Soul cover has hypnotized me.................. :blink:

:lol:

Kinda got a Bridgit Riley thing goin' on there really:

I noticed that someone on eBay sold that LP for over $300 :o

I know we've discussed this before, but did you ever check out the "magic eye" cover of this one?

John McLaughlin The Promise

If you can do the "thing" you can see writing, even on this reduced image. I tried it and it worked. Now if I can just uncross my eyes. :wacko:

Most of the time, some more relaxed, mid-tempo jazz.

A Teddy Wilson piano trio on Black & Blue was a favourite for many years.

But it changes all the time. Often it is some baroque music, preferably harpsichord or lute music.

Is the album any good tho?

I enjoy it, it's consistently engaging IMHO. With the wide variety of personnel it's a bit of an *all-star* event, which sometimes can cause it to lack specific focus. This one goes in a lot of different directions, and in this case I think it works well.

Personnel: John McLaughlin (acoustic & electric guitars, midi guitar, keyboards, birds song, percussion); Nishat Khan (vocals, sitar); Mariku Takahasi (vocals); Susana Béatrix (spoken vocals, birds song, percussion); Stephania Bimbi (spoken vocals); David Sanborn (alto saxophone); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Joey DeFrancesco (trumpet, Hammond B-3 organ); Tony Hymas, Jim Beard (keyboards); Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola, Philippe Loli (acoustic guitar); Jeff Beck (electric guitar); Yan Maresz (acoustic bass); Pino Palladino, James Genus, Sting (bass); Mark Mondésir, Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Zakir Hussain (tabla); Toto (birds song, percussion); Don Alias, Trilok Gurtu (percussion).

Rugby and Sunday mornings/day go hand in hand for me.

I have little time to listen to music.

Often I take the kids I coach in the car and they have a laugh listening to the jazz I listen to.

You should have saved this post for next Sunday.

Ha! I always wondered why that cover was so ugly... I never realized it was one of those magic eye things. Cool! :)

Sunday mornings are so beautiful, yet so depressing. You know your last night, (you just spent up all night), is over.

Well not for me after the pain and swelling of playing rugby on Saturday, and then having to get up and coach early on Sunday morning. This is of course not helped by drinking too much in the club house after the match B-)

I always listen to something with a "church" kind of feel to it. More often than not my Sunday morning choices are of a secular nature but I look for something that has a Sunday morning kind of vibe. Having coffee,dessert and listening to tunes is something I always enjoy doing on a Sunday morning.

Well today I ran a half marathon (13.5 Miles), took me 2hrs, 5 min and I had my i-pod with me and I had the wondeful album by Markus Stockhausen "Joyosa". At 10 miles I was goosed and the track "Mona" was playing, the best track on the album fro me.

Somehow this seemed to help and I managed tyo cross the finish line.

Sore but still here ;)

Congrats on the half marathon. :tup

I 'run' but enjoy the natural sounds. It's strange, for a person who enjoys music so much, when I 'run' I don't want to hear anything. I listen to the sounds of my body, breathing, shoes hitting the ground, etcetera. Yeah, try running in Tucson during the summer. When I go out in the evening, between eight o'clock and nine o'clock, the temperature will still be hovering near 100°F. It makes you want to lose your enchiladas. :lol:
