Actually Shamanaia with 4 a's to keep the pedants happy.

Tend to be a dreadful reactionary when it comes to the Human Voice, but I really enjoyed the vocal improvisations - vocal free-improv I guess you would call it - certainly not scat. At first I was reminded of Adelaide Hall, but it was more Meredith Monk and that whole genre of Classical voice improv.

Anyhow it sold me on the entire offering of Shamanaia.

Then I must have a listen. Thanks for the pointer, Vespare, and even more for being the ONE PERSON to have replied to my OP! Noting as I have the diminishing attraction my weekly jass broadcasting pre-announcements have been exercising hereabouts of late, I had been contemplating bringing this particular theme to its buffers. And by that I don't mean just thee or me!

Your punning posts are much appreciated by me and would be missed. I often get to listen on iplayer to the programmes in question weeks after the broadcast, by which time comment would be past its sell by date.

Don't! (Please ) - I read 'em all and don't comment because I've nowt to say save for the occasional flippant pun where one "fits".

I often think of this when the tangleweed drifts across the Hear & Now Threads - "everybody's all agog to see what's on the Thread, and obviously my immaculate prose and considered comments mean that they don't wish to comment further." And then I realize it's time to take my medication.

A big issue!

I always enjoy reading your witty posts, and those, together with ferney's posts of high intellect, have more than anything kept me in contact with this forum. As regards my own posts, I tend be strongly self-censoring, as I prefer not to make posts which look a bit silly in retrospect ( but was a bit lazy over the Christmas period - might have commented on JRR and Roswell Rudd on LJ). But I do find it useful to put my thoughts on music into print.

For every one reply post, I am certain there is a large number of forumites that read carefully your contributions but make a considered decision not to reply.

However the crunch factor is the amount of time and effort that it take to prepare your weekly missives, for what is an inadequate number of replies, and only you can make that judgement. Apart from ferney, who often replies to himself, we have ds's alerting service on Early Music, but with absence of comment, there may also be an alerting service on choir, but nothing at all on World Music. If all these went, there would be little of interest remaining - apart from Breakfast bashing!

................More Voice Improv and Free Jazz on Anne Hilde Neset's LJ on Tuesday. Irreversible Entanglements, very powerful stuff.

Your efforts much appreciated by Les Lurkers.
