Easy-going rendition of some jazz classics by this Swedish sextet. Perfect for late-night listening.
(Another 25p charity shop acquisition.)
Very much at the funk end of jazz/funk, but enough jazz to be posted here.

Following on from 1995's "Tales", closing with a rather splendid instrumental cover of "Come Together", I thought I'd give this one a play, "Laid Black" (2018). Not as good I'd say, a bit patchy.

He's had something of a career, producing and performing on albums for numerous artists, including Miles Davis, David Sandborn, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Bryan Ferry, Chaka Khan, Was (Not Was), and many others.
I might have to seek out more of his earlier stuff.
It's on the Blue Note label so can't be too bad. :eyebrows:
So it is, I hadn't noticed :doh: I agree Barry, it's not bad, but I think the earlier one I played was much better.
Next up...

Nice one Marco. I have of course heard of Blind Boy Fuller and of Sony Terry, and have a few of their albums. I have not heard of Bull City Red; so will try to check him out. :)Quote:

Some good stuff on that BB King. I really like his version of 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore.'
