Someone knows their Duke!
I have Qobuz sublime and have not downloaded for quite a while….new releases being so so. Had hoped this would be a buy……but bored already. Beautiful playing……but not a buy, for me, at least.
Listened to some of this earlier.
Sounded excellent from a background music perspective on the lounge MuSo. Will have to give it a proper listen next week I think.
Ditto @Gazza , I made it half way thru the first track then realised I just wasn’t listening.
It got to the point i thought i had heard it before……shame😥
Listening to my first ever cd
Phil Collins - No Jacket Required.
From an era when the design of the jewel case was still patent pending.
The Don do funk layered over his world jazz thang - Don Cherry Hear & Now 1976/7. Atlantic/Real Gone Music reissue tracked down to Music Magpie. Not well received at the time apparently & I don’t think released in Blighty but a cracker.
2 x LP - Polydor 2016 : )
Rolling Stones - Blue & Lonesome

Influential album I think. Vinyl.
Beautifully performed and recorded. A superb soundtrack for listeners who think they don’t like Tom Waits. Gayle is sublime. The CD is great. Trying the Qobuz stream which is excellent.
Just entirely by coincidence, I was watching a Louis Armstrong in Concert on BBC4 and he introduced Tyree Glenn who went on to play Mood Indigo by Ellington. Fascinating!
