Sir David Willcocks - Haydn The Creation
“The heavens are telling the wonders of his work…”
We sang this November 2019 and it was a wonderful experience. I can’t imagine us reaching anything like the standard of this performance. I am reminded that it was harder then to follow the choir parts than it is now. One can appreciate this wonderful joyful work without but it is so nice to feel immersed in it orchestra as well.

We once went to a lunchtime set by Don Weller at the Gun Tavern in Croydon, with this quartet I think. This album always reminds me of that, and as it’s nearly lunchtime… Straight jazz, wonderfully played.

Soen, Imperial.
This is due for release on the 29th January. However, Tidal have it now, so I am indulging now. Only a few tracks in and it has the Soen sound and feels very new. I like it a lot so far.
Edit, Tidal have 3 tracks.

Out of the mini hillock of Bob live recordings I’ve got, this is right up there. A perfect combo of: 70’s Bob riding the wave of his second (third?) mightily creative surge, the choice of songs on the set-list but most of all the arrangements and his voice which not only breathe new life into these tunes but often practically re-invent them.
I’m not a big fan of using the criteria that a live version must recreate the studio incarnation. What’s the point? That’s what the studio version is for.
Naturally, there’s a debate to be had about how far the live version can veer from the original and still retain its integrity/appeal.
But here, for me, Bob and band are on sublime and mysterious form.

Ah, it’s out now then. Added to buy it list. Cheers. Great music for gaming!
The Very Best Of Mick Jagger, listening to this as it has a few exclusive tracks. One of these is a track with The Red Devils, an album’s worth would have been decent.
