Jazz and fish (and beer)....

Playlist
Various - Jazz Fusion Jukebox Shuffleplay

On the jukebox today a compilation of the triumvirate of giants of Jazz Rock Fusion - Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever and Weather Report...

Tasty...

Also tasty was an evening of fish as I was wined and dined by a large American Company at Oloroso. Smoked salmon followed by fillet of sea bass. I didn't partake of any wine though, prefering instead probably far too much Edelweiss Weissbier...

A chocolate creme brulee rounded off things very nicely indeed...

Passed up on the chance to party on down at Tigerlily. Instead, chum Spike and I made our way along to the much more enjoyable Bert's Bar on William St and met up for a couple more G&Ts with Anne and her now ex-coleague Debbie...

Only when I crashed into a parked lorry whilst hailing a taxi to take Anne and I home did I realise how far gone I was...

An enjoyable evening nonetheless...

Highlight of the Day : A lovely meal at Oloroso

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Of the three, the Mahavishnus are my faves, especially when Billy Cobham was on board. never saw them though. I did see Weather Report when Jaco pastorius was their bassist - Usher Hall in '78 I think...

Happy days..; 5:42 pm

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!
