Ben Webster - Soulville, with Stan Levey getting some nice airtime on the skins and OP, Ray Brown and Herb Ellis not letting the side down either



was preceded by The Bones of All Men, Fairport Convention meets the Renaissance courtesy of Philip Pickett's consort

Electric Ladyland

Sonic Youth's latest. They follow the path from their previous album "Sonic Nurse" (one of my favourite SY albums) with hints of pop elements in their music.

Any one heard Micus new one ?

Meanhwhile:

I kind of like this album as well.

Last night. Sound very like Neil Young (acoustic) but seriously chilled out. Great for a quiet night in..................

The Amboy Dukes before Ted Nugent dominated the band. When they addressed the question of life itself in a Journey to the centre of the mind and asked the ultimate question why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

Thanks for telling me, Diccus!

Everything sounding like Neil Young is of great interest to me!

The first Aerosmith albums still sound very good to my ears .

A couple of LPs by Richard Thompson:- Across a Crowded Room, followed by Amnesia.

This morning:



A must for all Wagner fans - one of the finest discs of 'chunks' I have heard. Donald Runnicles and Staatskapelle Dresden. That he can make the ride of the valkeries sound so fresh is impressive and the forrest murmers are quite something. Can't wait for his Tristan (with Christine Brewer) due out either later this month or next.


Currently listening to Sibelius's 6th symphony from Bernstein and the NYPO.

Bert Jansch - Crimson Moon

Joni Mitchell-Hejira

I finished off this set with symphony no. 6. I like it a lot, even if I prefer no. 4 and 5 musically.

Dear Rubio,

Jochum was, I think, an absolutely wonderful Bruckner conductor. I have his set with the Staatskapelle Dresden (which has recently been reissued on Brilliant Classics for absurdly little) and it is a real treasure. I shall be looking out for these live Concertgebouw issues though.

Personally, I think I prefer 6 to either 4 or 5, though only when it's done very well, e.g. by the likes of Jochum, or (as in concert the other week) Runnicles.

regards, Tam
