Madonna beautiful stranger / 1999 Maverick / German CD single / W495CD
Not had a chance to play anything all day, so decided to give the system a workout with the incredible 10.12 minutes Calderone Club mix of beautiful stranger.

A quite stunning soundscape, soundtrack created for the famous silent film.
Unfortunately I never got to see any of the live presentations of this.

Watching the ace new series of Fargo and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble War cropped up in the soundtrack. Saw them many years ago and they were a lot of fun as well as being good musicians. We seemed to be at least 30 years older than the rest of the audience. Lady BC was especially enamoured when they took their tops off! A few years later at Cheltenham they seem to have turned into a cheesy soul review - all suits and playing to da ladies in da house. Hohum.

Food - This is not a miracle
Thomas Strønen (Drums, Electronics, Percussion, Moog, Fender Rhodes), Iain Ballamy (Saxophones, Electronics) and Christian Fennesz (Guitar, Electronics).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on through the noon hour with another Food album and this talented trio is sounding mighty sweet!

Simply Red - A New Flame, a great slice of pop music, from when they were still a band.

Life in the fast lane!

You probably already know the beautiful accompaniment to Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood .

I do, yes. It’s a great shame I never got to see Stan live. A wonderful musician.
Only a very recent discovery for me but yes it would be something to see these wonderful musicians live.
I was due to see Herbie Hancock live in Madrid next month supported by the excellent young British Jazz player Alfa Mist perhaps my last chance to see a living member of Miles’s second great Quintet.
Blimey, I forget they even existed. Time to turn out a box of old vinyl and crank up the RCM …
