Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this morning with another album from Aoife and the music is sounding mighty sweet!
Some late noughties jazz from a fine band -Disassembler ‘What Is’. Sinuous grooves and great collective playing and soloing. Spanish Jazz Granada label CD.
Trevor Warren - guitars
Market Lockheart - saxes
Annie Whitehead - trombone
Dudley Phillips - Bass
Winston Clifford - Drums
Paul Young. “Best of” on Vinyl. Enjoyable and always good to hear Pino Palladino doing his thing.
Crosby, Stills & Nash - CSN
This is a magnificent album. Some of their best stuff. Cover shot taken on Crosby’s boat Mayan.
This album contains one of my favourite lyrics from Crosby’s ‘Anything At All’
“Anything you want to know
Just ask me
I’m the world’s most opinionated man”
More noughties jazz from Oriole ‘Migration’. Gorgeous lilting accoustic guitar (Jonny Phillips)/sax (Ingrid Laubrock)/cello led jazz with worldwide influences. F.ire CD.
Johnny & Edgar Winter - Together
A live recording from 1976 with brothers Johnny & Edgar on top form.
Rick Derringer and Dan Hartman on board.
The sort of album you might have had blasting out on cassette in your car.
Worth the price alone for the last track "Baby What You Want Me to Do” - 11 minutes of classic blues with a guitar & sax showdown between Johnny & Edgar.
Great choice, great album 
Haven’t played this in ages, going to have to dig my copy out
