Quincy Jones - Talkin' Verve a compilation of tracks culled from 60s albums which according to one quote was " Quincy Jones's sophisticated brand of jet-set funk".This is great fun and many will recognise the track "Soul Bossa Nova" as the music featured in the first Austin Powers movie.

Definitely not POP/ROCK, a potent mix of bluesy country vibes.

A jewel from 1969/70. Topanga man.... Reminds me of Gram Parsons.

Jan Garbarek Group - It's OK to listen To The Gray Voice

Streaming on TIDAL......... Continuing on with the exploration of Jan Garbarek catalogue...... 73 of them alone on ECM! All pieces on this album are quotes from Tomas Transtromer poems..... As good a reason as any to select this album! Into the second track and sounding mighty fine!

Ewemon,

That's a tasty Little Axe album and oh so rare.

I have the Slow Fuse album and really like it."On the beat sound " is my favourite on that album.

How do you rate it as a album ?

Regards Ian

If you like Steve Reich you’ll love this. If you haven’t heard his music before, give it a go.

A new recording of Drumming by the excellent Colin Currie Group.

Fortunately I have this on my iPhone. Listening through Bose quiet comfort headphones is making the diverted flight back from Toulouse just that bit more pleasant. I really like this version BTW.
