Another good day...
HMV are having a bit of a clear out and I purchased these three albums...
Dave Brubeck, a 2CD set on which I have only a couple of tracks already - a jazz pioneer...
Daft Punk, again a best of but, which, like the live disc of theirs I bought a couple of months back, flatters to deceive - another disappointment from the French electro robots...
And a six disc set of the best piano music in the world...ever...
This evening, a night out with the Exec Producer - a tasty burger at The Cambridge Bar before heading up Lothian Road to see Michael Rother - the only artist ever mentioned in any of my songs - and a long time favourite of ours...
Tonight he was playing in a trio called Hallogallo (after track 1, side 1, of Neu! 1)...
And who should be in attendance but Count Brodski and Penny, Peri Urban and his lovely wife Ali (daughter Lilly and Polly the Cat wisely left at home) plus ex-Tranceport and sometime CBQ collaborator by default, Alan Martin plus old chum, taxation expert and gardener, Mr Colin...
We all loved it - and you can find a stream of the recent 6 August New York performance at the Lincoln Center, here, so you can enjoy it too...
Out into the night around 10:30, while Count Brodski hung around to get some stuff autographed by the man who has been in Kraftwerk, Neu! and Harmonia (and now Hallogallo) and whose solo ouevre is one of my own and the Exec Producer's most enjoyed...
We drove home with "Katzenmusik" on the car stereo...
Lovely...
"Listening to Michael Rother in a strange house in the snow..."
Highlight of the Day : Hallogallo - and bumping into so many old friends unexpectedly...
