Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this Tuesday morning with Chris’s ‘Water Sign’ and he and the band are sounding mighty fine!
Jesse Winchester. Better known as songwriter I had forgotten his debut album until it was flagged by both @AndyP and @Gazza . Well worth a listen from 1970.

Sass Jordan - Racine
This gal can belt out a choon! Shame this particular album sounds a little compressed on the livelier tracks though.
Sass indeed!

Nils Petter Molvær (trumpet, electronics, effects), Geir Sundstöl (guitars, banjo), Erland Dahlen (drums, percussions, xylophone, piano) and Jo Berger Myhre (bass, keyboards, guitar).
Streaming on Qobus (96/24)… continuing on this morning with Nils after a mention from @Ian above had me reach for ‘Buoyancy’ released in 2016 and have not had a spin for a few months. As always Nils and the band are sounding mighty fine!

Nils Petter Molvaer - Khmer
Nils Petter Molvaer (Trumpet, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Percussion, Samples), Eivind Aarset (Guitars, Treatments, Talk Box), Morten Molster (Guitar), Roger Ludvigsen (Guitar, Percussion, Dulcimer), Rune Arnesen (Drums), Ulf W.O. Holand (Samples) and Reidar Skar (Sound Treatment).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this morning with Nils and this talented group of musicians are sounding superb! Enjoy this album quite a bit and enjoy the description from the ECM website, “Massive beats and throbbing grooves underpin the Norwegian trumpeter’s fiery solos in a project that forms a bridge between ECM’s improvised soundscapes and the brave new world of trip-hop, drum’n’bass, ambient/illbient, techno, industrial, electronica and samples.” Not for everyone but works for me…
On vinyl
The Lenny Henry Show on R4.
Good on the graduate returning to the parental home, who just wants to be an influencer. And The North.
Now In Tune Mixtape on R3.
Loved his series Rudy’s Rare Records.
A great headphones track
