And to finish the evening off...



Very civilised !!

Stefan,

Being from Asia and living in North America I find a perfect balance listening to European jazz.

It is my first disc of Ignatzek, and I am enjoying his compositions as well as his piano playing. I am planning on getting his 341. Do you happen to have it?

Regards,

Earlier in the car:

I don't like "compilations" so much but the local music store decide to get some space in the cellar

Tenacious D - The Pick Of destiny. If you can get past the language and some of the subject matter, it's expertly written, tuneful and great sounding too.

I bought Tenacious D's first album a few years ago 2nd hand in the US. It's great. Great tunes and really well produced.

Obviously not for younger ears

Certainly not!

I've just been lent their first album but have yet to put it on my system at home. Not quite as listenable as Pick of Destiny but good all the same (not sure of the WAF though ).

Perhaps I should put Pick of Destiny on my shopping list if it's better than the first album.

Just done
on HDCD.

Now back into the 80s with some Mr Weller:


Tracey Thorne's voice is stunning on "The Paris Match"

Her voice is stunning anyway.

One thing to note after their first album, it's only 33mins long..... In fact 3 of the new albums I received for Christmas were only around 35mins long too. Fortunately they are "quality" not "quantity" albums!

Turn me on dead man!

Currently listening to........................

The Hold Steady

These guys sound good in a sort of Graham Parker and the Rumour/Southside Johnny & the Asbury Dukes/Springsteen/Dinosaur Jnr sort of way with an 70's New Jersey sound updated for 07. 'Chips Ahoy' recently record of the week on Colin Murray's late night radio show, but don't let that put you off.

Mingus "The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady"

Arrived in the post today from the excellent Mr Dicuss.

It has had a couple of spins today and went down well with me, but badly with the wife. She does not do "discordant" jazz, which is why she hates Jan Garbarek. Sounds great to me, cheers Dicuss.

Nic

Cheers Nic, but sorry I forgot to include the 'Alan Shearer' voodoo doll complete with pins

Now listening to

Dicuss has shamed me into getting my act together when it comes to posting images. Here is another attempt with Image Shack this time, which is worth it simply for the headgear.
