John Coltrane – The Believer

Lovely Easter Monday...

To a certain music emporium where I found some new jazz titles at £3 each...

I swithered over five Joe Henderson titles but decided against as I already have burns of them taken from a box set borrowed a while back from the library...

But Joe Henderson rocks...

Instead I partook of two John Coltrane titles, one of which is a two CD live set – and Sonny Rollins' 1972 album “Next Album” – issued after a long hiatus from the recording studio...

I worked out last night that my last two thousand CDs have been acquired at a rate of around 36 a month – so, for over four and a half years now, I have been acquiring CDs at the rate of more than one a day...

I am ill...

Back home under the alien sun...

...to enjoy jazz burblings whilst I rounded off the first half of the “putting home burned CDs into plastic sleeves” project...

I started off two months ago with all these...

...now reduced to these...

..having put all these into plastic sleeves so far...

So, a good jazzy night...

The Coltrane smokes, maaan...

Highlight of the Day : Jazz...

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!
