Feeling jazz jadded, and every other jadded, politics, fawning obits for "Marty" Amis, this gave me a big lift. OK, it's not jazz, but it's joyous and the enthusiasm, rhythm and effortless technique could/should be... Shostakovich's piano concerto No2 (drunken sailor), Carnegie Hall 2021, with the very remarkable Yuja Wang...

Tel has a nice way of wielding the knife. My complaint is that it should have gone in much deeper. Amis claimed that writing should be a war against cliché...he then churns out "Lionel Asbo" (he feeds his dogs Tabasco & Special Brew) as his "State of England" novel. The Daily Mail it is, Shaw it demonstrably ain't. What made me laugh in the obits was the number of hangers on etc who claimed to "have met Marty in the train to the Hay festival..", and then some banal anecdote.

It must have been dangerously overloaded.

John Coltrane Quintet with Eric Dolphy "Evenings at the Village Gate" A previously unissued session recorded by Impulse in August 1961. 80 minutes of music, the tracks are -My favourite things, When lights are low, Impressions, Greensleeves and the only non studio recording of "Africa". Can't wait to hear that and apparently Lights are low has a tremendous Dolphy solo. The CD is due for release on July 14th - Here is "Impressions" from the session with Trane on soprano(normally a tenor feature)

Actually, he had shorter hair than that back in the 80s when I heard him with The Brecker - not short, but shorter.

I think there is a time when it becomes necessary to get your hair cut, stop wearing jeans and give up wearing football jerseys!

I have seen Mike Stern on a few occasions but never been a massive fan. There has always been tha "FM- friendly" label against him. He has been good when I have seen him but, rather like John McLaughlin, it is not really my thing. I would imagine Stern would be much better live than on record where I think his stuff is over-produced and too slick. I love jazz guitar but have always preferred Scofield, Frisell and Abercrombie although I think players like Loueke. Halvorson, Lage and Jeff Parker are probably the guitarists who have most appeal beyond that generation. I like Metheny too but have not listened to him for some while.
