Called James Jamieson today to see if he’d be up for the 250th OOTB tonight but he advised he was going to Tynecastle for a night out with his football club – so I was going to head along on my own but, when push came to shove, I stayed in...
Instead I bid for some jazz CDs on e-bay (having sought out and rejected the Sun Ra disc today at HMV)...
I was successful on these four...
I found out later, whilst perusing the reviews on Amazon, that at least one of them has been deemed a real klunker...
Can you guess which one:-
Paul Chambers - Whim of Chambers
Lee Morgan - Candy
Grant Green - Am I Blue
Hank Mobley - Flip
I’ll still approach them all with an open mind though...
Then, inspired by a review of an album on All About Jazz, I enjoyed listening to some Sonny Rollins music recorded between 1956 and 1958 when, apparently, he was at his creative peak - man, cool jazz...
These days, not working on my music and not performing, I feel like I’m just frittering my time away – and time is a precious commodity....
But, am I really wasting my time if I’m listening to music which is so much better than anything I could ever hope to create?
Highlight of the day : Successful bidding on e-bay
