How did you get on with 'Street Lady.'?Quote:

Did he ever make any friends? Perhaps he shouldn't have joined a "silent" order.

Latest Buddy Guy
Saw Buddy Guy play in London. He was excellent of course.
The new album is really good, especially at his ageQuote:

B.B. King Live At The Regal
The definitive recording of Blues in live performance. This unique Regal session is the definative statement of B. B. King's phenomenal rapport with a crowd, of the miraculous vibrations thatcan exist between audience and performer. In essence it tells you how, where and why he ultimately became 'King of the Blues'.
Recorded live at the Regal Theatre, Chicago, Nov. 1964.

Jagga Jazzist - 'Pyramid'
Jagga Jazzist are a Norwegian 9-piece instrumental band that started out in Tψnsberg (a small town outside Oslo) in 1994, at which time Lars Horntveth (the main songwriter in Jaga) was 14 years old.
Jaga Jazzist return with new album "Pyramid", where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece takes a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. It's their first album since 2015's "Starfire", their ninth album in a career now spanning four decades, but it marks the group's debut on Brainfeeder, the LA-based imprint curated by Flying Lotus. On "Pyramid", Jaga Jazzist have crafted a suitably cosmic sound to match their new label home, all the while nodding to forebears spanning from 80s jazz band Out To Lunch and Norwegian synth guru Stale Storlokken, to contemporaries Tame Impala, Todd Terje and Jon Hopkins. Each of the album's four longform entries evolves over carefully plotted movements, the tracks' technicolour threads dreamily unspooling.

The vinyl has now arrived
Bought this a few years ago on reputation. Tbh I struggled with it. Anyway, I thought it time to give it another go. I'm still finding it a bit 'out there', but liking it a bit more than last time.

At least it is a proper double - so many new albums are only double because they were produced for CD, and are too long to fit on a single disc, making each side annoyingly short. And expensive for what you're getting... anyway, I'm rambling, just to fill the time before it ends!
It was Davis's change of direction musically, aiming for a new audience that would make him a lot more money. Out with the suit and tie for the jazz clubs and their middle-age audience and on with the denim for a much younger target audience.Quote:

The sleeve notes don't help; to my mind they are just a rambling stream of consciousness.
The only other albums I have is "Kind of Blue", which I find much easier to like, and "Tutu", which time has not been kind to imo.

Delmark Records DE-60
Not to be played when your mother-in-law comes around for tea - especially the last two tracks! :eek:
Keith Tippet - 'Blueprint'
Soft Machine - 'Fourth'
Not bad and much better than:
Soft Machine - 'Fifth'
which is pretty poor with Elton Dean's saxophone dominating it all. It was the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned. A great shame. :(
Having just listened to some BB King - I'm now playing another King:
Freddy King - 'Getting Ready...'
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/qY0AA...4/s-l1600.webp
There's lots of kings in blues it can get confusing. As well as Freddy and BB you've got Albert. Then there's also 'The King' (Elvis) and 'King'
'King', yesterday:
https://i.ibb.co/yncQLpyN/paul-king-...-tony-wall.jpg
Yes, I've got a couple of Albert King recordings. The only other 'King's I have are a couple of CDs by King Oliver, and of course Nat King Cole. :)
In my book Elvis is simply 'Elvis' and not The King. :D
