This has just popped onto the door mat. First listen is that it is good to have them back. Along with the great lost Shack and Gomez, three of my favourite bands of the time.
Chip Wickham / Shamal Wind / 2018 Lovemonk / EU CD / LMNK60
Chip Wickham Flute, Alto Flute, Baritone Saxophone
David El Indio Percussion
David Salvador Double Bass
Antonio Alvarez Pax Drums
Phil Wilkinson, Gabri Casanova Piano
Matthew Halsall Trumpet
Ton Risco Vibraphone
Shakey Graves - Roll The Bones X
Bluesy folk tales, he uses all available limbs and digits to play banjos, guitars, kick his homemade tambourine and bass drum made from an old suitcase. A great 2011 debut from Graves aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the 2021 rerelease has an additional album of demos, rarities and deep cuts.
Gosh, I bought that Castle Comms CD from a stall in Croydon market back in about 1989. Still gets a regular listen.
Michel Petrucciani Playground / 1991 Blue Note / EU CD / CDP7954802
Michel Petrucciani Piano
Adam Holzman Synthesizer
Steve Thornton Percussion
Anthony Jackson Bass
Omar Hakim, Aldo Romano Drums
On first listen, I wasn’t too sure about this CD (Coryell’s last gig). Second time around, it’s really starting to draw me in… there is some remarkable interplay between the two guitarists.

Does anyone manage to keep up with this thread!? 
Because my musical tastes have changed substantially since my teenage years. And omg what a voice you have Alison.
Ashley goes electronic!!
Just released, latest from the country star and a huge departure from her fantastic previous album “Sparrow”. It’s all synths, beats and lush vocals, not your usual country album and a brave move by this wonderful artist.
Do I like it? I have absolutely no idea yet

Pass me the dictionary dear…
