12midnight - Freeness
Corey Mwamba with improvised music marked by a pioneering spirit, including Marta Wareli's grainy and sinuous sound world on acoustic piano and a piece by Eleonor Sandresky which takes the evocative imagery of Mary Oliver's poetry as cues for improvisation. Plus the Tara Clerkin Trio with a heady mix of hip-hop, drum 'n' bass and glitching free jazz.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Just to thank Alyn again for my French Buck Clayton JRR request today, that's such a brilliant little track and band. And for some reason things sound even better over the "radio"! Direct to C90 of course.

And the Louis Stewart track was also very fine, and I laughed out loud at the Doug Dobbell "Miles" anecdote. (Sorry). So, a fine afternoon!

I hadn't heard that about Doug...

"Dobell's record shops were forced to close in late 1980, when the area was redeveloped.[7] He died of a heart attack in 1987, aged 69, while visiting a jazz festival in Nice, France" - Wiki
