Free jazz...

Playlist
Various – Free Downloads from “All About Jazz”
Various – An Introduction to Free Jazz

Arm worse today. The pain is not in the shoulder though, more the upper arm which is very painful to move in almost any way...

A nice card from John and Ali of Impossible Songs arrives, wishing the pain away - hope it works soon...

Lovely porridge with raisins and strawberry jam for breakfast today...

Then we watched the DVD of “Dodgeball” which we bought a couple of months back. Very funny indeed – I love slapstick comedy...

Anne went off uptown shopping for the day and I downloaded more tunes I may never listen to again (or even at all, as it takes less time to download a tune than actually listen to it)...

I trawled a few “MP3 Blogs” which post up tracks for a few days or weeks before they disappear, presumably due to copyright reasons...

I burned a double CD-R set of 25 tunes downloaded yesterday from “All About Jazz” and also compiled a disc entitled “An Introduction to Free Jazz” from one of the MP3 blogs, “Destination Out”...

I’ve never really used the net as a source for new music but now have a couple of hundred tracks on the hard drive mostly from www.thewire.com and www.allaboutjazz.com ...

In the evening we watched Hibs totally outplay Hearts although they only won 1-0. Elsewhere, 1st Division leaders, St Johnstone, beat Glasgow Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox in the same competion...

So Celtic, Hearts and Rangers are all out – of course Anne feels this leaves the path to glory wide open for Hibs – but, on tonight’s display, she can have nothing to complain about...

Highlight of the Day : A jazzy day...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
