She of Wailin Jenny's fame. Am loving it.

Truly great debut album now deleted such a pity. Still in my eyes his best.

For those who like the harmonies of the Jayhawks with a touch of Crowded House thrown in. Haven't listened to this in some time.

Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back

I reckon this album definitely makes sense at this point in his career. He's certainly not scared to give it a go.

It'll be interesting to see what songs of his the other artists choose to cover. I'm hoping that "Intruder", "Family Snapshot" and "Wallflower" get a nod though. Or how about Bon Iver doing "Moribund The Burgermeister"

Just finished watching a Wallander and playing the album now . Has a tough life that Kurt !

I finished watching series 2 last night and KB climbs higher in my list of best actors. Each time I get a phone call I hear Kurt's ring tone

I will try and see Emily at The Slaughtered Lamb Pub, London on 11 March and get the CD. What's your impression of 'Despite The Snow'?

Really looking forward to this release! Scott, Stephan Harris, Roy Hargrove, Josh Roseman and others are the reasons why jazz is not dead, as implied on another thread here.

Anthony, I'll think you'll enjoy it. I played it three times yesterday and it is good and a grower. I love Roy Hargrove also - I have seen him several times now but will never forget him and his big band at the Village Vanguard - mindblowing. Anyway, from the other thread all I take a way is that jazz is not dead (in fact it is very alive and quite exciting at the moment) but maybe some other things are.

Howard - I have put Christian Scott in the CD changer for when I chauffeur you to Bristol. I will fill up the other 5 slots as well with lots of good noodlings for you to enjoy
