Good Night

Just Wondering

Sunday Slouching

Quite a sunny day and a bit warmer than recently for a change. Most of the day was either reading, doing quizzes or listening to music.

Forkunch I had pizza and a couple of ciders.

The evening was spent watching some TV in the communal lounge. The highlights of the WSL (Women's Soccer League) games followed by the first part of a concert at the BBC Proms - a birthday variations for Martyn Brabbins, a conductor who reached his sixtieth birthday. The 14 variations were composed by 14 contemporary composers including Judith Weir, Harrison Birtwistle, Anthony Payne, Gavin Bryars, Colin Matthews, and David Sawyer.

I have been watching episodes of The Magicians on Prime - I have watched all of Season 1 and just starting season two. I am really enjoying this series.

Prime has also put on their site the whole 14 episodes of Firefly, so I will be watching those again.

Okay, jazz is my first groove, love,amoureuse, etc, so here are some of my hot slabs of good ones -

Best described as psychedelic Arabic influenced jazz this whole album just oozes quality all over.

Yazz Ahmed - Organ Eternal

My bro coming42 will certainly agree.

Next up, a brassy jazzy groove from London based Sons of Kemet -

Sons Of Kemet - My Queen Is Harriet Tubman

I love jigging around to this track. Jazz did start as dance music so why not?

And now for one of my fave jazz guitarists, John Scofield.

Enjoy these wonderful different slices of jazz.
