Presence can be a disadvantage...

Playlist

Capital Models – Kind of Live

Gene Ammons – Jammin’ in Hi Fi With Gene Ammons

Spent the day listening to recordings of the Capital Models' cover sets while walking uptown...

...and an excellent blowing session on the way home...

I was really looking forward to running through all the songs tonight at Keith's, after having to call off last Wednesday's planned rehearsal...

In the event though, it seemed the performance tonight was lacklustre and choc full of unforced errors...

Back home, after three and a half hours playing and almost another hour of analysing what went wrong and how to put it right, I listened to the tapes...

It turned out we were nowhere as bad as it had seemed while we were playing...

Presence can be a disadvantage...

Highlight of the Day : Playing...

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!
