King Crimson "Beat" another fine Crimson album.
Then changing tack to Bert Jansch "A Man I'd Rather Be " then Sandy Denny "I'Ve Always Kept A Unicorn"
Utter bliss!

Been listening a lot this week to King Crimson. Starting with their first and working through in chronological order. Has reaffirmed what excellent albums different incarnations of the band produced. No other band like them. Got as far as Starless. One album I have never been able to get into is Thr...

First up Paul McCandless "All the Mornings Bring" Beautiful album, sublime music straight to the soul.
Now John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner "Five Years Later"
Coming up Steve Grossman "Some Shapes To Come"

Now Ella Fitzgerald at Newport Jazz Festival 1973
What a voice! Surely one of the best female vocalists of all time.
Magic!

Having a blues morning
Gary Moore "Still Got the Blues"
Now T-Bone Walker " T-Bone Jumps Again"
Sometimes nice to listen to "uncomplicated" music!

Jaco Pastorius "Word of Mouth" L.A. Express "Shadow Play" Backing band for Joni Mitchell at one point and a fine album. Now listening to Theo Travis "Open Air" beautiful trance like flute. Underrated sax and flute player in my opinion.Seen him many times and has been on...

Good work Ed - formative years. 'My smile disturbed - I cannot go back your frownland' . Stellar musicians too.....Ian Carr, Love the Rendel Carr quintet albums. Do you have any opinions about Nucleus ? Just seen your message. Well coincidentally I have just played "W'ell Talk About It Later&q...

Neil Ardley- Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows Been listening to this a lot recently. Ardley certainly wrote excellent compositions. Stellar musicians too.....Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Tony Coe etc Saw Barbara Thompson's second las gig with Colosseum. Still awesome even though frail from the affects of Par...

I am a big fan of Weather Report. Some people slate fusion and jazz rock as neither jazz nor rock.
But take away the labels and you have some brilliant inventive music.
I was listening to Billy Cobham's Spectrum last night. Great album, well recorded with some killer bass riffs and guitar.

Started with Vaughan Williams "Lark Ascending"' Dives and Lazarus" Wasps"
Then Mozart Divertimenti direct to disc followed by Glenn Gould "Goldberg Variations"
It's not always prog rock and jazz! (Only most of the time!)
