been listening to some modern/free/avant garde new york city jazz stuff.

some wouldn't be out of place on the louis balfour jazz club segment from the fast show. 😂

 

this one sounds almost genre-less though ... has many elements to it.

 

dan weiss - starebaby

 

Nice 😁

absolute classic!  i still listen to this all the time.

one that i have on lp, cassette, cd and digital (with several back-ups just in case).

 

i agree about the title-track. love it around the 7-7:30 min mark (going by memory) when lenny kicks up the rhythm on the drum set. sensational.

Oh yes! That's the bit where I pretend I play piano (extremely well) 😍

 

Amazing though how some albums & some excellent musicians managed to stay under the radar in this country. When their founder & leader Chick Corea sadly passed away last year, it was hardly mentioned in the UK media.

 

From the same era and the same genre, another much-played album in my collection.

of course. the birdland album.

though i played black market a little bit more (and still do some)

 

i feel like i'm in the minority here but i really listened to mr. gone alot (and still do).

the one after wayne shorter left (hence the title i think). it's different but has a stark quality about it i like.

A session Wesley Gonzales did for Marc Riley's 6Music show last week. I hear an occasional hint of early Bowie.

Hello Wearysmith 

That's a very young Kim Wilde there.

Ian Hunters 'Once bitten twice shy' has to be up there with one of the best songs ever recorded.

 

Just finished watching all 6 episodes of SAS rogue heroes (BBC1 & iPlayer)

Not quite sure how something set in 1940's North Africa has a backing track from the likes of AC/DC, Sabbath, the Cure, Sham 69, Stranglers, Foghat, Clash, Saxon, Damned, Motorhead etc, etc, etc but it did jog me into digging out some of my old Savoy Brown and Foghat LP's.

Love the early Savoy Brown & Foghat.

 

Just listening to 'Take it easy' from the excellent 'Looking in' LP.
