Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz

His first album recorded with Scott LaFaro (b) and Paul Motian (d). Is this his finest studio album?

Julia Fischer & Martin Helmchen - Franz Schubert: complete works for violin and piano Vol. 1

Vinyl released 2017 - A lively trip through the swing songbook. Great listen ????

A really nice album. Loving this studio version of -The Ghetto - on this too

Full on day yesterday, best to start off a restful Sunday with this, on CD:

On CD:-

Philip Lynott - Solo in Soho

An early Felice Brothers album that was self released. Bascially features Ian Felice singing and guitar.

Released 2012 - Chuck Leavell's keyboard work has been heard by millions, but his solo recordings have been fairly infrequent. Back to the Woods seems like a labor of love for Leavell, and while it may not reach as wide an audience as has his work with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and others, it's one of the best musical projects he has done in many years, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable recording. ????

Christmas with Ella & Friends

Trying my best to get some Christmas cheer, but not succeeding so far!

Love this show on a Sunday afternoon - all the music i was too young to appreciate at the time. Dog on the sofa with me, the other half wrapping presents in front of the fire and a cheeky glass of Laphroaig in hand...

Johnnie Walker's Sounds of the 70s

Same here brilliant show

Now playing..........

Tord Gustavsen Trio - The Other Side

Tord Gustavsen (piano), Sigurd Hole (double bass) and Jarle Vespestad (drums).

Streaming on NAS.........  Opening and easing into the day with some soft and mellow sound of the 'The Tunnel' from Tord's Trio...... and they are sounding mighty fine this morning!

My latest Natalie Merchant purchase.  Sound quality on this CD is very nice as is the re-working of her earlier material giving it a more intimate quality.

****************

Back in 2002,  l was doing some permitted bootleg recordings of Jerry Joseph and his band the Jackmormons.  They did an in-store on a Saturday preceding an evening headline show in Portland.  The recording turned-out decent and was offered-up for cd-r trades on a JJ fan site on-line.

l got an email from a lady with the last name Leavell wanting a copy as she was working for Terminus Records, which was the label of Jerry's newest release then, and she wanted a live copy of some of those songs. l wrote back saying l would be glad to make her a copy and said l needed to ask  - as Terminus Records was in Georgia  and l was familiar with Chuck from as far back as Allman Brothers/Sea Level releases - did she know him ?

She wrote back and said she was his daughter and offered me a free copy of "Forever Blue" as her side of the trade.  Small world at times.
