Thanks - I enjoyed that. I thought Ellery Eskelin was a new name to me but Discogs tells me I have a CD of him playing with Han Bennink so I'll dig that out.

Dissonant Characters? That's a good one.

I seem to have loads of Eskelin CDs. I bought a massive batch of Hatology releases in a job lot a few years ago. Everything he's on has a really nice vibe. Zorn-ish, but more chilled.

Joni Mitchell - ‘Court & Spark’, a little earlier but I forgot to report.

i think this is her best - still has the folk / pop song stuff but also the start of her jazz explorations.
It’s also beautifully recorded.

I didn't realize they had a new album!

Thoughts?

Very much in their usual vein but I certainly enjoyed it

Horace Parlan/Headin’ South (Blue Note via Toshiba-EMI 1991). Picked up this morning. An absolute delight.

Atlantic ‎– 81227 3610-2. CD, Remaster, 2002.

Lou Donaldson/Lou Takes Off (Blue Note/Tosh-EMI again). Brilliant and quite possibly the first time I’ve heard the excellent George Joyner on bass.

 

[mikechadwick]

Eric Clapton's guitar solo on Have You Heard by John Mayall & Bluesbreakers at earsplitting volume!

 

[mikechadwick]

Slim Harpo - Baby Scratch My Back. Americana Anthropology LP

 

[Big Tabs]

There is a lot going on in this album. Surprised that it plays given the state of it. It has had much use, and the kids have had a go as well. Never heard it sound this good on the ear, at home.
(the tunes lend themselves to volume, stonking in a club)

Fairly sure I saw this band in Nottingham. Mid-nineties? The dude makes me laugh on 6Music.


edit: lovely lush production.

I saw them a few times at Rock City, first time on their first tour pre fame, about 95/96 I think.

Just spinning this on vinyl

Listening to Gideon Coe's annual Tour de France special, the highlight of my GC year. All the records are cycling related, some very obvious but always a couple of curve balls.
Cheers.
