A driech morning but the rain was eventually blown away...

An almost purchase in HMV - a box of 5 CDs of classical works by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis - the voice in my head said I had enough classical CDs and would likely not listen to these and only the CD to price ratio (5:8) was drawing me to buy...

Not to worry...

Donna Lewis' disc with the Bad Plus is awaited - along with a new Hard Drive for Crispycat Recordings stuff...

These pics belie the presence of a biting wind...

The moon was out as I made my way home...

The tram does not go my way...

This is what an afternoon of Ornette Coleman can do - light emerging from head...

...and wayward eyebrows of an ever ageing old coot...

...as the sun went down...

...it was time to cook...

Cooking with Ornette...

My signature dish...

At one stage, I thought I might have overdone it a bit on the old stock front...

The wine helped calm my nerves...

..and it turned out to be a "fools and bairns"* scenario...

Success on a plate...

...with plenty leftovers...

A relaxing night in front of the telly, initially with "Two Broke Girls", "Big Bang Theory", "Brooklyn Nine Nine" and "Marry Me", followed by writing this up to the sound of M...

As ever, Thursday ended with "This Week"

Highlight of the Day : Cooking with Ornette...

*Fools and bairns (children) should never see a job half done...

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!
