A debut album from a new Irish jazz singer that has being getting very good reviews. She's a relative of one my best mates. Well worth checking out.........the album that is. ;-)

Played it last night - first time in maybe 5 or 6 years.
Brilliant. Still.

Good man Gerry, I have it on vinyl :-) Always loved Allison Stratton's voice. Sincerely hope you're also familiar with Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants. Classic Rough Trade sound and one of my all time favourites...Gerry D wrote:Bought this in 1982.

Good man Gerry! Haven't seen the Ronnie Scotts Lp.Would you recommend it? But thankfully I do have that fantastic compilation 'Nipped In Bud' on vinyl which contains rare stuff solo and otherwise. I'm sure you know about the fantastic CD reissue (3 CDs!!!) which is really good too with substantial sleeve notes etc etc.

I do have "Nipped in the Bud"' - had forgotten about that. On tonight.
I always came back to La Variete though.
There were some great artists around then if you looked hard enough.
Remember Carmel McCourt ?
Have some great vinyl albums and singles from her too.

Listening today to some Charles Lloyd and some Jan Garbarek on ECM.
First up were Lloyd's most recent two albums - the live Rabo de Nube and the more recent Mirror - both of which feature his exceptional touring band of pianist Jason Moran, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland. Extraordinary music from arguably the greatest living saxophonist. Even at his most impassioned, there is always a sense of calm and repose about Lloyd's playing.
Then I listened to two of my favourite Jan Garbarek albums, Dis and Places. The former is distinguished by the interplay with guitarist Ralph Towner and the latter by the contributions of organist John Taylor (somewhat better known as a pianist). Utterly beautiful music which finds Garbarek on his most inspired form.
