Tim Kliphuis trio and orchestra - Concertos.

Tim Kliphuis (violin) - Nigel Clark (guitar) - Roy Percy (bass)

Interesting arrangements of some of the pieces of Bach Brandenburg concertos. It's a mixture of classical music, jazz and gypsy.

  Eric Clapton - Sessions For Robert J.

  Some late afternoon blues with the music of Robert Johnson.

  Largely "one take, no overdubs" this is much better than Eric's earlier RJ tribute ............ and the accompanying DVD is not half bad too!

(Released today)

All Them Witches - ATW

I have been playing a couple of their pre-release/pre-order tracks for a couple of months and been very much looking forward to the full album. Here it is duly downloaded at about seven o'clock this morning and it's a blast... Fine punchy desert blues rock.

  Fantastic Negrito - Please Don't Be Dead.

  Impossible to categorise, with hints of Jimi, Jack White and even Prince, this is one great follow up to his last stunning album, IMHO.

Robbert Scherpenisse - searching for Ai

Nice modern jazz. Robbert Scherpenisse (trumpet) heads a large ensemble. Sometimes they sound like a big band on other tracks they scale down to a quintet setting.

Ai refers to the Japanese word form Harmony.
