This popped up on my recommended to watch list - Brilliant guitar playing and more attached!
Listened to this today for the first time after noting it had been awarded the album of the week in The Sunday Times.
A very fine album indeed and I’m sure it will grow on me more after further listens.
Now playing…

Arilid Andersen - Molde Concert
Arild Andersen (Double-Bass), Bill Frisell (Guitar), John Taylor (Piano) and Alphonse Mouzon (Drums).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… while finishing up today’s exercise routine I am continuing on through the noon hour with Arilid and this fantastic quartet and they are sounding mighty sweet!
Whilst looking for something else i came across this free disc from Mojo
In terms of song choice, presentation, packaging and sound, this has to be the best Nancy Sinatra compilation ever…
Hi Alan,
As a long time Mojo reader, I’ve got that one too … belter!
Evening Dave, yes it’s a cracker. I always enjoyed it more when the mags actually featured singular artists on a freebie, instead of those " tribute " ones where many acts murdered popular songs by somebody featured in the mag that month.
Nikki Iles Hush / Basho Records / UK CD / SRCD382
After a long creative working day, it is finally time to relax with this excellent Jazz Trio CD.
Now playing…
Malia and Boris Blank - Convergence
Streaming on NAS (44.1/16)… returning home from an afternoon shopping with the wife for vegetables at a local Seattle Tilth for vegetable starts to plant in the garden and returned home with a tray of assorted goodies. She happily headed for the garden to get to work and I headed to the living room for some ‘Malia & Boris’ and they are sounding sublime! …it has been awhile since I have had this album out for a spin and with a little lift in the volume Malia voice is sounding even better.
John Martyn - Glorious Fool
Late night CD, quietly, with a glass of something.
Excellent choice. I also have the Speakers Corner LP and it’s just wonderful.
Claude
Arcangelo Corelli, Concerti Grossi, op. 6. The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock harpsichord and conductor. Archiv Double CD.
Altough Arcangelo Corelli published relatively few works as compared with other Baroque composers like Bach, Vivaldi or Telemann, he was very famous in his lifetime and is generally recognized as the father of the modern violin technique. His concerti grossi op. 6 (published after his death) are famous, in particular the no 8 in G minor “Christmas Concerto”.
This 1987 recording from Trevor Pinnock and his English Concert is the only version I have, mostly because recordings of the whole work are somewhat rare… and because I just never felt the need to get another one. The Archiv recording is exceptional for what I call the “early digital” era, without the annoying highs of many recordings of the time.
