Rachid Taha - Made in Medina

Your the only person other than me I have ever heard refer to that album. Tis good though.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Rather a lot of Miles Davis..........I indulged in 2 box sets from Amazon, 20 CD's worth...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0035KGWRC

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004LR5JZO

I mentioned this to one of our apprentices, early 20's. He'd never heard of Miles... :o

The first Tavener piece I ever bought.  It's great isn't it?

And now for something completely different...

Next - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

What can I say, it's sensational.

I am listening to all sorts of different things at the moment because since I mentioned Oops I Did It Again on another thread I cannot get the bloody tune out of my head, probably because I spent an hour or so playing along with my guitar on YouTube. Claiming at work that I am humming the Richard Thompson version cuts no ice.

Oded Kafri - The druMachine project

Wandering around Bristol's Broadmead shopping centre this afternoon in a half-hearted attempt to do some xmas shopping, I got sidetracked by the sound of some amazing drumming coming from this busker in the middle of a large crowd. Good enough to persuade me to part with £5 on the spot for a CD - not something that's ever happened before  ;)

Amy Winehouse.
I've never been a fan of hers BUT this morning I heard her version of "Tomorrow".
Absolutely stunning

Ben Webster, "Saturday Night At The Montmartre".  I bought "Sunday Morning" in a charity shop last year, and then realised it was the last one of a 3 LP set.  After missing a couple on Ebay last month I got lucky a week ago and "Saturday Night" & "Midnight" turned up today  :D

Recorded almost a month after I was born at the Montmartre Jazzhus in Copenhagen. Ben Webster on tenor sax, Kenny Drew on piano, Alex Riel on drums & Nils-Henning Orsted Pedersen on bass.

Rather fine.

Last night, doing ironing, I was listening to and enjoying BBC 6 Music through the TV digital service. I then thought "This is strange, this is a bit off the wall even for 6Music, a bit surreal, I wonder what group released this? It's all spoken and about competition." Until I looked up and realised it had changed to BBC1 and Masterchef  :facepalm:

Started the day with "I'm With You" by RHCP

Now moved onto what is becoming a favourite, "Super Delux" by Terrorvision

After that is some Seasick Steve.

I never realised I was such a fan of jazz until very recently. Lot of catching up to do. Today is Project Mingus...

This track is blowing my mind right now:
