Last of three of Coltrane’s records today, “Expression”, his final studio recording. All he wanted on the cover were the titles and the musicians. “I’m tired of words”…

#NP Inspired again by the1959project.com, spinning a couple of tracks from this (plus an out-take), all recorded on the very day I was born…

#CDFriday Slightly late…

Something rather avant-garde from Mr Minty - who has painstakingly managed to pull this all together for its 41 year late release...

Morning Friday morning... Coming soon! Have a lovely day... Xmas is almost here!

When i said “anything could happen” I meant, of course, that I’d probably buy some CDs…

#OutAndAbout Heading home. My trip has been soundtracked (so far) by these… 1/2

#OutAndAbout Arrived at the Weedge… Anything could happen, kind of…

The driver of the bus I am on just announced “Ladies and gentlemen please do not use your phone speakers on the bus. No one wants to hear what are listening to. That’s why headphones were invented!” Brilliant! PS I checked and it wasn’t me. Tangerine Dream remains inside my head!

#OutAndAbout post gym. Heading for the Weedge… Anything could happen, kind of…

I was introduced to this cracker by Mister CBQ. "Farewell" by Ayshea Brough. Some of you will recall 'Lift Off With Ayshea' from the early 70s. Roy Wood wrote this and played the music (revel at his trademark mad oboeing). Ayshea hadthe right voice for this. Catchy AF. youtu.be/jDwtOl3zTSI?...

sombr is in my podcast this week. He’s like a pop version of The Killers… Which is, I suppose, no bad thing…

Everyone knows there’s #NoPlaceForVocalsInJazz but I took a chance on this Billie Holiday “classic” from 1957 today for £2…

You people are forever banging on about The #AlanParsonsProject, while I am of the opinion that, just because someone pressed “record” on a tape machine while Pink Floyd were recording “Dark Side of the Moon”, doesn’t mean they might make good music. Took a chance on this today for £2… 2CD best of…
