Lovely Freudian slip-o-the-keys in the entry for the Iain Ballamy/Sian Carstensen track - "Composer Ballaby"!

Gawd, for a minute there I thought someone had requested "Lady in Red" on JRR...but its MM looking pensive as she waits for her Barney Wilen track to turn up.
Any day now.

Had some sympathy with Julian Joseph. I guess he had done some market research and decided a number of his listeners were disgruntled opera buffs! Quercus reminded me of the Norma Winstone tracks posted by Tenor Freak- so at least TF may have been happy. But I do not think we can expect a load of contemporary jazz from JLU in its new time slot. Any jazz is good jazz, at least to someone?

Idle thought re. Serialist jazz - whether it might be more at home with electronic synthesisers etc, which can be programmed to cope with complexities of tone rows?

serial fusion?

Must admit I was quite impressed with Quercus. I dropped in on a whim on their gig at the Sage Gateshead a while ago when deserted by my family for the weekend. The selection of items presented on JLU did not perhaps represent the best of their material.

Their current CD was actually recorded at The Anvil, Basingstoke around 5 to 6 years ago. Manfred Eicher was impressed enough to release the CD unedited on ECM.

May I just make a clarification here: I am not such an ECM fanboy that I love everything Eicher issues. Actually the Quercus material didn't sound all that compelling to me but then again if Ballamy is involved there's definitely something to latch on to...despite his reputation for larking about my experience having a lesson with him was that he is a serious musician.
