Box of miles...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Ersatzreal
Miles Davis - Just Squeeze Me
It Bites - Still Too Young to Remember (Remix)

Spent much of the day today listening to and researching the recording dates of the contents of a 10 CD box set of Miles Davis purchased for just £8 from FOPP...

It contains music from 26 different studio sessions, 90 tracks in all, recorded between 1949 and 1956 and is an excellent find - mostly material originally released on Prestige and some from the Blue Note archives...

From e-bay, a 3" CD single by It Bites - a remix I've never heard before of one of their last singles...

Didn't rehearse Jamie's tunes tonight as I wanted to save my fingers since my callouses have disappeared due to lack of use over the last five months and blisters started last night...

I did however put together copies of his revamped CD, which'll be on sale...

Anne made a great spicy pork dish from scratch from a wee cookbook I gave her as part of her birthday - it was delicious and there's some left over for tomorrow too...

In between enjoying the playing of Mr Davis and his cohorts, we watched "CSI", last week's "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" on tape and this week's episode "live" - including annoyingly long ad breaks...

Tasty music, tasty food, tasty TV - it doesn't get much better than this...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Miles Davis/Anne's cooking

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!
