Excellent album, current theme, The Good, the Bad and the Queen Merrie Land.
Now playing…
Bill Frisell - The Sweetest Punch – Songs by Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach and Bill Frisell.
Bill Frisell (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Brian Blade (drums, percussion), Don Byron (clarinet , bass clarinet), Billy Drewes (alto saxophone), Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), Viktor Krauss (bass), Ron Miles (trumpet), Elvis Costello (vocals) and Cassandra Wilson (vocals).
Streaming on NAS… taking the gang out for a Friday evening spin and they are sounding sublime! A fine group of talented musicians performing on this sweet album.
With Mrs Pete at her mothers for the weekend the dog and I get to play whatever we like, loud.
Haven’t played this for a long while, David Bowie Outside:1 (wonder what happened to 2).
Now playing…
Stephan Micus - White Night
Stephan Micus (Guitars, Duduk and Bass Duduk, Cymbals, Kalimba, Sinding, Dondon, Voice, Cane Whistles, Nay).
Streaming on NAS… going with Stephan’s 2019 release to end the day. From the ECM description, “23rd album for ECM and on each one he composes the tracks, plays and overdubs them to create unique and exquisite pieces of chamber music.” The music works well before heading off to dream land…
It’s A Beautiful Day, It’s A Beautiful Day, CD Rip
Simply beautiful… 1969 psychedelic/hippie/folk at it’s best.
In fact it’s so good I’ve had to play it twice ![]()
Like this, quality musicianship, upbeat, melodic earworm stuff. Nice.
*Acoustic versions of songs are rather fine too.
First listen, bought it yesterday in eclassical daily deals. It completes the Beethoven Cycle of Sudbin for me. The Mozart concert is a bonus.
Sun is shining!

Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue
My favourite of the one album I have. I must stream from Qobuz before I cancel my second trial because I don’t use it enough as I enjoy the 500 CD albums I own and the vinyl.
