Tosca - Osam - 2022
A lovely sounding album by Dorfmeister/Huber that slipped under the radar last year.

Robin Trower, Maxi Priest, Livingstone Brown | United States of Mind | 2021
Being a long term fan of Robin Trower, I was taken aback when he paired up with these two but it turned out to be one of my favourite albums of 2021.

Thelonious Monk died on this day in 1982
Thelonious Monk 1917-1982
As his health declined, Monk’s last six years were spent as a guest in the Weehawken, New Jersey, home of his long-standing patron and friend, Pannonica de Koenigswarter, who nursed Monk during his final illness. She proved to be a steadfast presence, as did his own wife Nellie, especially as his life descended into further isolation. Monk did not play the piano during this time, even though one was present in his room, and he spoke to few visitors. He died of a stroke on February 17, 1982, and was buried in Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.

I miss the great Scott Walker. This album is extraordinary, with one of may favourites being Tar; it’s the swishing machetes that thrill me. Few artists have ever matched SW for intensity, invention and vision.

Heaven knows why this album is titled Ballads for Audiophiles, but it’s great. Mainstream jazz, beautifully played by master musicians.
