Ethnic Heritage Ensemble - Open Me, A Higher Consciousness of Sound and Spirit. 70 year old percussionist Khalil El Zabar and his talented ensemble create a hypnotic jazz groove. This isn’t getting the chores done, but who cares when the music’s this good.
Would have been Townes 80th birthday yesterday. Born March 7th 1944 - Died January 1st 1997 (aged 52) Probably wrote the saddest song ever recorded ‘ Tecumseh Valley’.
Relaxing at home this morning, getting ready to head out for 3 days at the O2 for Country To Country.
Jake Owen - Barefoot Blue Jean Night
After a two weeks trip to Hong Kong back at home. And as usual taking Oscar for a spin as the first album to warm up the system…
A 50th anniversary remaster of Alice Cooper’s ‘Billion Dollar Babies’. The sensational brass on ‘Elected’ puts it onto the shortlist of greatest rock songs IMO
Oscar Peterson The Trio Live From Chicago / 1997 Verve / Germany CD / 5390632
Oscar Peterson Piano
Ray Brown Bass
Ed Thigpen Drums
David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs
Love this very transitional album, imo it’s Bowie’s most consistent album with no filler tracks and no covers.
