What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

She recorded some songs with Armstrong, including the lovely Powder with another of my favourites, James Grant (ex Love & Money), and Dust.

Some other gems here and there, but curiously under the radar for one so gifted.

After a morning listening to Joseph Haydn, I have moved on to this:

On CD. Coming through nice and raw. A good pressing imo. Oh, the music is great too.

Mostly listening to old favourites at the moment, catching up after a fun summer with too little good music, hence:

Lou Donaldson - Blues Walk

The Planar 8 has certainly got the old toes tapping! Not played this for years, sounding great. Great memories of earlier times too.

Do you have a recommendation Rigsby?

A little cabling upgrade today, back on vinyl, a record that was one of my late wife’s absolute favourites.

“Call Me The Breeze” would seem appropriate. Sorry, bad joke. But the album, Naturally, is always worth a listen.

Pat Metheny - Watercolors

Pat Metheny (Guitar, 12-String Guitar, 15-String Harpguitar), Lyle Mays (Piano), Eberhard Weber (Bass) and Dan Gottlieb (Drums).

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… sitting down with a bowl of bananas, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and yogurt and taking Pat with his very talented quartet out for a spin and and they are sounding sublime!

I’m listening to the 4 pre-released singles from Jamie XX’s new album, Waves. Due to be released in September and judging by the singles it picks up just where the last album, Colours, took off. Great upbeat house music in his original style.

The Red Shoes/Kate Bush.

An astonishing and astounding album that I almost took for granted for many years since its release.

Aurally, production wise, it’s partially of its era but the songs, the words, and oh the voice(s) of KB raise this to an altogether other level.

PM on BBC R4 FM, where divisions among the centre right are being discussed. NAT05 easily able to show that the current speaker’s phone signal is not the greatest.
