Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
A kind of odd collaboration for me. But with Michael Wolny involved it always is an entertaining result...
Triggered by an earlier post...
Now Playing......

Jakob Bro (guitar), Thomas Morgan (bass), and Jon Christensen (drums)

Refreshing new jazz
Now Playing......
Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia
......moving forward with some additional guitar influence this morning
IMHO the best Van the Man album in years.
On vinyl...
Now...
On vinyl...
Thelonious Monk born 100 years go today, so:
This album can definitely lift your spirits...
Tom Adams - Silence
Achingly alluring, atypically atmospheric and absolutely absorbing.
I'll move on to the letter b with the next one. 
(2006)
Because some days (or weeks) I enjoy getting stuck in the rut of fuzzy, hazy, psychedelic rock and drone from the likes of The Black Angels, Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo, Josefin Öhrn and their ilk 
The one album of him which I think is very good, and not because of Coltrane - even while it's a bonus...
Dug out some of my favourite LPs after my 'ladies days' !
Not quite got through them all yet, but they do take me back to when I 1st heard them and was at the time (feebly) trying to play the trumpet !
Miles was unique !
P.S. It is assumed 'Kind of Blue' is included !?
Now Playing........
Mark Knopfler - Kill To Get Crimson
Playing on with some more of Mark Knopfler, streaming from TIDAL......
(2013)
This one (their last to date) is going on for all the earlier reasons.
Angela Hewitt - Rameau: Keyboard suites
CD - Harmless [This compilation 2013 © Demon Music Group Ltd]
It's hard to believe this was from a cassette recording direct off the mixing desk - it's that good. Apparently it features the only known live recording of 'Talking to the Sun', originally one of the studio cuts on the album 'Live Herald'. This is about my fourth play so far and it's really rather enjoyable.
Massive Attack - Heligoland.
Having a Massive Attack evening, starting with this one ............... up there with their best.
