Just listened to this, sat back and forgot about everything, I love it when that happens...
Blackened Cities
by Melanie De Biasio
The cover reminded me of regular journeys up the A19 past Middlesbrough, fortunately it didn't put me off the album [emoji23]

I saw Melanie De Biasio do this live at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2017, she extended this piece to half hour or so, and it was pretty impressive.Quote:

I have it on vinyl (only came as a 12" EP) and whilst I like it, it was much better live, with her theatrical on stage style. (there maybe a live video on you tube of her performing)
Her other material is very interesting and good too. She was remixed and messed with on an alternative Lp. of material by some big producers.
Inspired to dig this out an have a listen over the weekend.
A Thoughtful selection Lawrence. :cool:
Sounds amazing, wish I'd seen her will keep an eye out now.

Fun! This must be the first time ever hearing a tuba in a jazz ensemble. Love it! Very funky :)Quote:
