Earlier this morning, in the car:



The Japanese edition.

'Lounge' Jazz that is highly entertaining. A perfect antidote to bad traffic.

On ordinary CD, could have sworn I had the freebie SACD one too:-

You did have a freebie HD one.
You got it with one of the Sundays a couple of years back.


It seems to have fallen out of the filing system.
I've bought another, in case it don't turn up.

Talking of freebies I have the PG CD to send you.

....and now on CD :-

Yep, very good combination of the jazz great of that era.

I specifically like this Hoffman and Gray remastering as well.

My new vinyl version arrived today beaten and battered from amazon. Now returned and reordered from one of my fave ebay sellers.

An album of rare intelligence this. Not easy listening but effortlessly creative. Tom Jenkinson takes elements of Jazz, classical guitar, drum beats and fuses them with surreal electronic textures playing on changes in tempi and melody.
Think ECM meets Fat Boy Slim extrapolated to the Nth degree.

~<>~ Marin Marais (1656-1728) ~<>~

La Folia and other music for viola and violins

THE PURCELL QUARTET

Catherine Mackintosh violin
Elizabeth Wallfisch violin
Richard Boothby viola da gamba
Robert Woolley harpsichord
with
William Hunt viola da gamba

Hyperion (on quality 'chrome' cassette tape)

Recorded in the Church of St.Peter and All Saints, Petersham, May 1988


"The tune known as 'La Folia' has fascinated many composers since the seventeenth century. Portuguese in origin, the word means 'mad' or 'empty-headed' and until the 1670s it indicated a fast and noisy dance in which the participants seemed to be 'out of their minds'"....

I prefer to have a good soak in the bath tub to it myself, each to their own i say : )
