After yesterday’s sad news of Toumani Diabate’s passing it’s going to be a sunny kora morning with those lush twinkling notes drifting around the room and out to the garden beyond.
Starting with In Heart of the Moon with Ali Farka Toure.

Purple Hearts were my local band, saw them many times - Beat That is a great album. Secret Affair’s second album is a curiosity - great album, but rather Springsteenesque! Could have been a bigger band, but timing was not in their favour.

Jimmy Smith - Bashin’, interesting to see he is billed as being “unpredictable” here, as opposed to normally being “incredible” 
. Includes his brilliant take on “Walk On The Wild Side”, augmented by a talented big band.

More Mozart, this time with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy & Chorus of St Martin In The Fields performing THE Requiem
I have heard many versions both live and recorded and none have been able to replace this as my favourite.
