    Default One of the most beautiful albums of 2018...?

    BAY OF RAINBOWS - JAKOB BRO,

    Sparse, classy intelligent playing with bags of feeling and soul.

    Interesting trio.

    Sparse does seem to sum up their style. I guess I don't really do chill out music, I like it to be going somewhere and leading me in interesting directions and not too slowly.

    So many jazz musicians are great instrumentalists. These three are extremely good. I'm not sure there is enough there for me to dig deeper but as I said elsewhere, I do like the voyage of discovery offered on YouTube.

    I’m afraid that really isn’t for me (though I like the pic of the moon).
