Elina Duni - Lost Ships
Elina Duni (Voice), Rob Luft (Guitar), Fred Thomas (Piano, Drums) and Matthieu Michel (Flugelhorn).
Streaming on Qobuz (88.2/24)… reaching the end of the day and taking Elina’s ‘Lost Ships’ out for a spin and, as always, she and her talented group of musicians are sounding sublime! A lovely way to close out the day…
Bach before 7 on R3. Organ. Didn’t catch which piece. News now read by Danielle Jalowiecka whose voice I like very much.
Put your brushes down when you make a selection!

First listen to the new album from Bristolian roots Reggae legends
Black Roots - Nothing In The Larder
Check it on Bandcamp
With “Nothing In The Larder”, Black Roots creates another original set of tracks and brings in some of the best musicians based in the UK.
Together they bring a new sound, despite the narrow confines of roots
reggae. The message is strong, coherent and relevant in today’s world of pandemic inequality, racism and discrimination.
Uncertainty and global distrust reign due to the world’s politicians, whose objective is to reduce individual freedoms and to submit populations to their will. It is in this context that Black Roots uses, as usual, roots reggae to get his message across.
In “Enlightenment”, the group calls us to see beyond reality and to rise spiritually; the message is carried by beautiful layers of brass, which reinforces this impression of escape.
Through the reggae melodies of “Nothing in the Larder”, the band provides a timely reminder that we must continue to promote equality, justice and open-mindedness.
Selah!
The Black Keys - Delta Kream
Voted May album of the month in the Kabin, I thought I ought to check it out. Two tracks in it seems fairly standard R&B fare (that’s proper R&B, not modern day pop music which seems to have adopted the term).
Diana Krall, wallflower (the complete sessions). I really prefer her many covers over the originals.
The Beatles - Love, on the dvd audio format.
