Drear old morning brightened up by a pianist themed Grauniad cryptic crossword. Seeing as Thelonious got a mention it would be remiss not to play possibly my favourite Monk Criss-Cross on superb Pure Pleasure Columbia reissue.

Charles Lloyd - The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow (2024)

A track from this popped up on my gym playlist earlier this morning - giving it a good thrash through the Linn/ATCs now, sounding great.

I played this last evening, Figure in Blue by Charles Lloyd. I found it pleasant, but rather nondescript. I think he’s better with Bill Frisell.

Magic Castles - Sun Reign (2021). Psych-tinged indie rock from this Minneapolis band. I’d like more psych and less indie, but heigh ho, some nice tracks.
