One from my youth. They were huge here before they signed with a label. Was always fun seeing them live. I knew they would do big things but never thought they would reach the highest they did. Still play here but usually for a charity or 2. Good to see local guys make it big.
Man of the world, Reflections on Peter Green (SACD)
(2001)
Jethro Tull - The Very Best of Jethro Tull
This is a very decent sounding fourteen track (eighty minute) compilation album tripping swiftly through some of Jethro's finest while doing exactly what is says on the tin.
Abbey Road
Some early Mary Black before dinner. A lovely album.

Abbey Road
For me, this and Sgt Pepper were their best albums
Grassella Oliphant - The grass roots.
Checking out some new jazz basis on the 'Spinning Jazz' post. Sounding very nice.
It features the quartet of Oliphant joined by Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Harold Ousley on tenor sax and Ray McKinney on bass.
Now Playing.......
Charley Crockett - Lonesome As a Shadow

* An edit to say that this is a twenty track compilation not fourteen as I mentioned.
Zoungla, Family.
Some uplifting new wave Prog. Really good cinematic soundscapes.

Linda Ortega - Cigarettes & Truckstops
Streaming on TIDAL...... A mention from ERICH had me place this in the TIDAL queue, a sweet voice with some lovely country tunes, a great group of musicians backing her up........
While I relax after Sunday dinner. Must be good for the digestion, surely?
This album is just beautiful. Relaxed, laid back, dinner jazz. Superb interplay between the two musicians, plenty of space to express themselves. Naim label too. Highly recommended.
Not the critics’ favourite JJ album, but I love it. Great pop songs with real attitude.
