Not sure if you have heard the new one Tony but give it a listen the first track alone is worth it.

Ewe, the last album by them I know of and listened to is 2015's "The Devil You Pay". Somehow, despite Simmonds's efforts, the magic is kind of lost and they sound a shade of their former glory. But what a great band they were at the height of their game. One of my all time favourite bands.

Now Playing.....

Savoy Brown - Street Corner Talking

......my vinyl copies of 'Looking in' and 'Street Corner Talking' are long gone, but did pick up a CD copy of Street Corner Talking in the '90's. Street Corner Talking was the follow-up album to Looking in.

Surely you meant "new" favourite Neil album, Ewe?

1969 - Uk first pressing...

Chief Hartley  and his British blues  band. Mr Miller Anderson does an exceedingly good job on  guitar. 

A Rare Saturday night at home with this Gem . Recorded over 3 nights in Hollywood 63  with just a few of his trusted musicians , this is Sam Cooke stripped back and just fantastic !

Thanks, Ewe. Just found it on Tidal and the album title track sounds  like the old days. Not sure about the rest of the album yet though Vintage Man is  another great track.  Gotta have a proper listen later. 

Cheers for that. 

Now Playing......

Savoy Brown - Hellbound Train

.....staying on the Savoy Brown train for a while longer.

next up, in the queue.....

Savoy Brown - Looking in

Finish up the Savoy Brown listening session with 'Looking In' and then, maybe, move on from the '70's......

Some olden goldies

This is a trio date that has all the elements: an indefatigable lyricism and honesty of emotion, as well as beautiful colors and deft, even uncanny engagements among the three principals. What a welcome return for Allen, who expertly displays she's been refining her chops and listening deeply to her Muse these past six years.(AllMusic)

I was not aware that Geri Allen passed away last June at the age of sixty. I managed to see her perform once with the Charles Lloyd Quartet. I cannot find any music tracks of this recording (beside one that lasts 8 seconds) but her album is highly recommended.

Now Playing......

John Lee Hooker - The Cream

Actually staying in the '70s (at least the album was recorded in September 1977) and moving across from the British Blues to 'The Blues'......A fantastic album!

Streaming Tidal.   Recommended by Ivo B as a nice Live Album, and yes it is.

Now Playing......

Geri Allen - The Life of a Song

Geri Allen (Piano), Dave Holland (bass), and Jack DeJohnette (drums)

With the mention of this album by HAIM RONEN above I thought I would take this album out for a spin.  The two albums that she recorded with Charles Lloyd were 'Lift Every Voice' released in October, 2002 and 'Jumping the Creek' released in April, 2005.

AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek: Life of a Song is Geri Allen's first recording under her own name in six long years. She teams with the rhythm section of bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette, whom she worked with on the late Betty Carter's stellar live date Feed the Fire in 1993. Allen composed eight of the album's 11 cuts, and the covers include Bud Powell's "Dance of the Infidels," Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," and Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes." This last selection is augmented by the participation of Marcus Belgrave on flugelhorn, saxophonist Dwight Andrews, and trombonist Clifton Anderson. The album's title reflects the depth of commitment to the song forms inherent in jazz. Allen is in fine form here, and one can hear her various instrumental and vocal influences..........

On the fifth track and this is a very nice album, she could certainly play the piano......Wow, a great trio!
