I don't know what I was thinking. I need an intervention.

 

This past Saturday I paced myself and only played 5 hours of cassette tapes.

Oh OK. With that exemplary 5 hour effort, I believe that the moderators will be easy on you and not ban you because of your previous comment.

Got to play two new albums tonight.

One was Dexter Gordon - Go! LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)

 

And the other was by an artist that @jazzman53posted above, Karen Souza – Essentials. Can't wait to play Karen Souza – Essentials II. They are both brand new 180-gram Gold pressings.

I'm trying to make room for anything that might get stuck to my hands on the weekend.

"Siwan, the transcultural, trans-idiomatic musical collective led by Norwegian keyboardist/composer Jon Balke, continues along its special path, with new music inspired by the creative spirit of Al-Andalus. The ensemble weaves lines of communication between musicians from multiple traditions and locations. Among the texts set by Balke on Siwan’s third album  and persuasively sung by Algerian vocalist Mona Boutchebak are verses by Ummayad princess Wallada bint al-Mustakfi (1010-1091) and contemporaries including Ibn Zaydun (1003-1071)  and Ibn Sara As-Santarini (1043-1123). Hafla was recorded in May and June 2021 at Village Recording Studios, in Copenhagen."

"By electrifying his double reed instrument and incorporating elements of bebop, fusion, Indian, ambient and rock-fueled grunge, the Bay Area bassoonist pushes the envelope on what his notoriously unwieldy instrument can do..." Link (released in 2008)

Couldn't find much on you tube to audition it except him playing with others but will keep looking. But he is an incredible guitarist. Thank you.

We were fortunate to see Pat Martino at Blues Alley (it is down an alley) in the Georgetown district of District of Columbia.  A remarkable musician, two times over. If one were to witness Rodin, Michelangelo, da Vinci , Michelangelo or Botticelli, etc., spinning out images before ones eyes, that would be close to his artistry. Coming to appreciate  (belatedly) dawns all of a sudden & then more so, gradually, later.
