Nucleus "Live at the BBC" disc 1

The early disks in that set are quite bizarre - broadcasts on BBC Radio 1 in an era when jazz could actually sneak onto that pop channel. Within a few years it had been relegated to Radio 2 and the ‘easy listening’ crowd.

Enjoying a spin of this 3CD Mosaic. Very enjoyable - and in good sound.

This series of box sets is a great time machine journey through the Swedish jazz scene. And this final one shows that in six or seven decades of jazz in Sweden has born very tasty fruit.

Damn COVID for stealing Fusco from us. This is my favorite CD of his. That guy could blow.

Mose Allison "Ramblin' with Mose Allison" Prestige/OJC cd

This is a good one. I think Nat Cole would have chuckled over the title.

I had no ideal that Fusco was felled by COVID. He was a favorite of mine, a really hot Inventive player, something like a latter day Gene Quill.
