On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
TWET – Tomasz Stanko (RIP), Tomasz Szukalski, Edvard (sic) Vesala, Peter Warren.
Original vinyl from 1974.
First Impulse: The Creed Taylor Collection 50th Anniversary. Four cds - not all the music here would be my choice as a 'best of Creed' but cd3 featuring Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth, followed by Coltrane's Africa/Brass is terrific.
Yesterday jazz with eastern influences..
Breakfast treat..
On CD:-
Volume 1 2 3
Working my way through these fine live vinyls
Library and easy music on CD. Some great runes by Roy Budd, Tony Hatch etc...
Splendid double-disc compilation featuring Jarrett, Mingus, Szabo, Hubbard, the Coltranes, Shepp, Roach, etc
Released 2007 - And it’s good too.????
1969 - UK pressing....
They don’t do compilations like they used to.
Helene Grimaud - Reflections
- Robert Schuman: Concerto for piano and orchestra
- Clara Schuman: Two lieder to poems from liebesfruhling
- Johannes Brahms: Sonata for piano and violoncello
On CD:-
Gaz Coombes - World's Strongest Man

Bin find at my local record shop, Steve. Couldn’t resist the cover. Some familiar faces there with mr Rogers up front and the ever so smiley and bearded mr Anderson at the back. How could I resist investing 3 quid on it? Quick clean on the RCM and it is as good(iiish) as new!

Tomasz Stanko Quintet - Dark Eyes
Tomasz Stanko (trumpet), Alexi Tuomarila (piano), Jakob Bro (guitar), Anders Christensen (bass), and Olavi Louhivuori (drums).
Streaming on NAS......... Starting the day with Tomasz's Dark Eyes, a album from 2009 and one of my favorites.....
Texas - Mother's Heaven. the second album when they were still a bone fide group.This one is solid enough but seemed to go under the radar.
The best album of their imperial phase. Neever tire of hearing it. This is a 1980 Japanese pressing on CBS/Sony.
Now Playing......
Charles Lloyd - Fish Out of Water
Charles Lloyd (tenor saxophone, flute), Bobo Stenson (piano), Palle Danielsson (bass), and Jon Christensen (drums).
Streaming on TIDAL........ A jump back in time to 1990, first time listening to this album and the opening track 'Fish Out of Water' is fantastic! Looking forward to the rest of this album......
