A truly international effort, this is a Japanese release of an Italian trio doing Brazilian music:

Stefano Bollani Trio playing the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Haim, thank you so much - you really have an excellent taste, I bought some stuff never heard before! :-)))

1998 - WAV...

Change of direction in guitar.

Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara, together with others from Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters.................high energy African / trance / dub.

I've posted this before, but if you liked any of Planty's last few albums, you'll love this one from the core of that band...............go on, Tidalise it, I bet you'll love it! 

Jazz harp and jazz koto (!) album from 1970. On vinyl. Cosmic stuff, a bit like a funkier Alice Coltrane:

Kenny Nea .. Hoodoo Moon .. 1994 recording.  A fine blues offering by a fine blues player.  Kenny's brother Noel plays bass on this album.

Inspired by Kevin-W's suggestion above, something equally "out of the box", from the masters of traditional Japanese drumming............needs to be played LOUDLY!!!!

I've always enjoyed this album with its relaxed tempo. I really should explore more of Gilmour's solo work.

I'm sure you'll have already listened to this one, but this shows Gilmour, post Floyd, very well.

We saw them do this in concert in Venice, and disc 2, especially, captures the mood perfectly.

Thanks, Dave. I'll explore that one.

1972 - WAV - Clube da Esquina. A landmak, influential album and a must for anyone who is serious about world and/or contemporary music. You don't have to be a polyglot to enjoy it either. The SQ is superb. 

Everyone seems to be in the slide areas tonight so I guess I'll join in. A bit of a master on the slide, old Ry. This is a nice Reprise 1970s pressing:

OK, enough already!

That's me dragged back into the slide area too...............this world music is all very well, but sometimes only slide will do.

OK, OK...I give in.

Slide Rules???? 

OK, I'll get me coat.

Sliding off (see what I did there), to watch t'Olympics, so I'll leave you all with this.

So, it's back to World Music........................well, of a Scottish persuasion!!!!  

Nighty night 

Just listened to the Ornette Coleman Trio live in Croydon (Charles Moffett, drums, and David Izenzon, bass). This is the most alarmingly dynamic recording ever, and I had forgotten, not having heard it in more than a decade. Whispering reed and slight snare brushing, silence, then sudden explosions in a steel stockyard (this is the noisiest drum sound) and saurian bellowing, then melting lyricism. The opposite of compressed sound, guaranteed to shake any visitor – and in my case to be astonished by my newly DRed 250 as I was pinned to the wall. (There's humour in it too.) 

On CD:-

Foo Fighters-The Colour and the Shape

The sixth and last album of Venus Jazz piano trios ordered lately from Japan. This one a little on the energetic side, all of them (two of Bill Charlap, two of Eddie Higgins, a Stefano Bollani and the Kenny Barron) are recommended.

Miles Davis-Kind of Blue

Gin Blossoms. New Miserable Experience. On CD from 1992. The band's breakthrough album was a good one. Not sure I've heard anything from them since.
