Current buns out! Doing a spot of “gardening”, pint of Hophead and this fine Tidal playlist (I heartily recommend it based on the recent documentary film) of classic vintage Reggae drifting out the windows
On Vinyl:
Fast Freddie’s Fingertips - New Town Soul
Fantastic band or bands Fast Freddie’s Fingertips and Freddy and the Donuts used to watch them at the Cartoon in Croydon years ago.
Now playing…
Andy Sheppard - Movements in Colour
Andy Sheppard (Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone), John Parricelli (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar), Eivind Aarset (Guitar, Electronics), Arild Andersen (Double-Bass, Electronics) and Kuljit Bhamra (Tabla, Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this Saturday morning with Andy’s ‘Movement in Colour’ and he and the other members of the quintet are sounding sublime! I have not had this out for awhile and had forgotten how much a of a joy the opening track is, simply wonderful. Love this album…
Mandy Moore - “Amanda Leigh” (2009)
On Vinyl:
Original vinyl from 1973… 48 years old and still sounds great.
Now playing…
Andy Sheppard - Romaria
Andy Sheppard (Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone), Eivind Aarset (Guitar), Michel Benita (Double Bass) and Sebastian Rochford (Drums).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this Saturday morning with Andy Sheppard and he and the quartet are sounding so sweet! …always nice to visit with an old friend on a Saturday morning, life is Grand!
Maeve O’Boyle - “All My Sins” (2009)
Just back from a long walk in deepest darkest Suffolk. Prompted by @seakayaker playing some gorgeous jazz from Andy Sheppard in a late 80s biggish band offering Introductions in the Dark on Antilles vinyl. Movements in Colour is for me his best later work.
Shearwater - Animal Joy
Billy F Gibbons | Hardware | 4th June
Finally getting to play this after forgetting to pre-order. Loving it
