George Duke - Face The Music. I’ve been playing this CD a lot recently. It’s an excellent Jazz / Funk / Soul album from 2002.
Joe Turner with Pete Johnson - Jumpin The Blues (Arhoolie)
“Kansas City Music” with the big boss recorded at sessions in California during '48 & '49.
Some great tracks here..

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… after a lovely sleep in I am kicking off this morning with Diane and this 2010 album release and she and the large supporting group of musicians are sounding sublime! …one sweet album.
The Cardigans: Long gone before daylight.
The desk tape of last night’s Ese & The Vooduu People show at PE Live in Holborn. It’s absolutely epic, if I do say so myself!
Trying my new 576R Airplug Z foil for the Superline
with an old favourite. Wonderful.
Marianne Faithfull Broken English 1979.
On 180 g vinyl - definitely one of my 3 or 4 fave Stones LPs.
Memory Motel, Hand of Fate, and Melody are awesome Stones tunes to my mind.
Ahem…1,2,1,2…tap tap ![]()
