The new album is really good, especially at his age

At 89 years of age he is doing well.

Following on from the excellent documemntary on B.B. King, shown on BBC4 last night, it had to be:

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 Tønsberg (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.
