Midnight Listening

Definitely back home now - and I am not tired. Reinvigorated with the new music I found. That includes a CD I found in Sister Ray for two quid - Martin Carthy "Waiting For Angels" (Topic Records) and he is part of that great Watersons folk family.

Martin Carthy - James Hatley

On the train back I found that somebody had left about thirty grams of pipe tobacco in a pouch. Good fortune my way.

Whilst I was in Blackheath I found these free books from the local book exchange people who leave the books in bookcases at the rail station waiting room for trains heading into London.





Some well read customers one presumes.

Good Morning!

Relaxing And Listening

Overcast at the moment but I do hope it gets sunny soon.
I am having a very relaxing day after the recent spate of being manically busy.
I will be popping into town to do just one covert shop and then to post off a CD I sold on Discogs. I will be seeing Kate at Past ||Sentence to selloff some paperbacks.

And that is that.

Oh and listen to my recent jazz CD finds.

Thriller

Probably the best pop video ever! And it is such a funky tune.

Michael Jackson- Thriller

The album is listed in Wire magazine's 100 Best Ever Records.

Music From Recent Finds

As intimated earlier here is a selection of tunes from recent finds-

Gabrielle Aplin - Panic Cord

Elvis Costello- Hidden Charms

Elvis Costello - All This Useless Beauty

Sun Ra And His Arkestra - Journey Outward

Warne Marsh Quartet - 317 East Street

Album: Ne plus ultra

This was tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh's first recording as a leader since 1960. Teamed up with complementary altoist Gary Foster (who was most influenced by Marsh's former musical partner Lee Konitz), bassist Dave Parlato and drummer John Tirabasso, Marsh runs through some of his favourite chord changes, including "Lennie's Pennies," "Subconscious-Lee" and "You Stepped Out of a Dream." In addition, there is a fairly free group improvisation (the 15-minute "Touch and Go") and a brief rendition of Bach's "Two-Part Inventions #13." A strong all-around CD reissue that was originally released by the Revelation label and now on Hat Art Records.

Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin'

Cool Struttin' (1958)

Personnel:

Sonny Clark (Piano)
Jackie McLean (Alto Saxophone)
Art Farmer (Trumpet)
Paul Chambers (Bass)
Philly Joe Jones (Drums)

ENJOY!

Just Wondering

What food could you not live without?

Where do you usually get your news?

Have you ever wished you could perform magic?

Good Night
