Karneval music, Humba Tätärä, fair enough but, good heavens, Neger is the “N-word” in German, pretty damn close.

Anyway, just checked my albums for admissible evidence for the thread: Abba, Sinatra, Gilbert O’ […]

Lovely, Colin, just lovely. Agree with everything* you say, “the pus of hypocrisy” is inspired actually. It was hard for me to find anything at all to defend them on, because why would you want to bother, the […]

Hmm, difficult one this one, Colin. Being from Ulster means dropping automatically into one’s, as it were, tribe. And never giving an inch. And obviously loathing the bible-thumping, grim-faced, wannabe-Britons of […]

Schnooks? Not all.

50 years in business and gigging as we speak. Old (kraut)rockers never fade away.

Hi @Styrofoam plates, I should like Kamasi but he always seems to have 20 instruments, 3 choirs, and a string section on everything. So how do YOU do it? Cheers.

You won’t have heard of many of the new breed of “jazz”/”psychedelic” guitarists featured. But give Mary Halvorson a listen, she’s on several. Al […]

Hey, mine too!

Ha! Same here, Twang.

Do post some more stuff.

Your Pleasant Valley Sunday is very passable indeed, this straining upwards on the Bb notwithstanding. What a classic from Goffin/King and what an earworm! Well played, you and Simon.

“Nice”.
What an appropriate jazz word!
😉

Jazz hardliner here, meaning no matter how abstract it gets, I can still appreciate it (this also applies to all genres the line-drawers care to manufacture. I just call it music). It was helpful being introduced […]

The parents will have been going for ca-hill (Irish for Charles), or cattle with an h, the surname with a bit of throat (coch as in loch/lough, not cock, then linn).

Also, I am Shelby features in both 1999 and 2000.

And Supoernatural in 1999 and 2003.

” Wishy washy production..”
Can’t have that.

Well only if you were in favour of what almost all artists produced in the eighties: glossy digital upfront sounds with loads of new synthesizers, which everybody just […]

I fear, Arthur, you may have counted my Mummer (XTC) as another Murmur. Say it ain’t so.

Indeed, hardly any nominations for loads of bands crucial at the time, like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Can, The Mothers, Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Genesis, Jethro Tull (the […]

Psychedelia featuring vibes – hard bill to fill. Maybe he just needs to hear some good vibes players he doesn’t yet know. From the softer end of jazz, there’s the remarkable Walt Dickerson or the double act of […]
