Jazz !!

I'm pretty damn - sorry - gosh darn selective when it comes to country and blues:

Country = Johnny Cash

Blues = Howlin' Wolf

I like a little bit here and there of other artists in either genre but I can listen to a lot of Cash and Wolf. Sonically just the best of them all in those areas of music. Though I must admit I'm a casual listener. Dis ya reggae ave mi entrall...

When you play Kraftwerk backwards the champagne sipping model you were hoping to get a shag off, in the sleeper car of the highspeed train you were riding (on a bicycle) in Europe have all disappeared and you find yourself in a dark cave.
And you are no longer a robot.

Contrived? Ja!

Incredibly Hubert Sumlin played at a tiny venue called Spitz in Spitalfield Market relatively recently. We are not worthy, we are not worthy, we are not........!!

Hunert Sumlin is still alive?
Wow!
Did you see the gig?
The Wolf himself was a pretty awesome guitar player (as well as everything else)

Yes, he is and still touring!! Check out tour news - http://www.hubertsumlinblues.com/news.html

I did go to the gig and it was his birthday that day!! I think it was his 75th. The band was Elliot Sharp's and he did most of the *work*. Hubert was seated throughout the gig and did look very fragile.

Wonderful to see him though as the stage was very low (about 2ft high) and I was standing about 3 feet from him with a big *stoopid* grin on my face.

Andrew Hill's **["Passing Ships"](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Passing-Ships-A ... 213&sr=1-1)** is getting a *spin* today.

This last year I've been listening to jazz more than ever, I love specially all the Spiritual Jazz, post-Coltrane records...There are many, but some may be...

Pharoah Sanders, all his records for Impulse! are essential

Alice Coltrane, her work for Impulse is also necessary!!

Henry Franklin - "The Skipper" and "The Skipper at Home" with the great label Black Jazz

Juju - A Message From Mozambique from another essential label Strata East

Jaine Cortez - Celebrations and Solitudes, another Strata East release, great work form this conscious poetess married to Ornette Coleman

Funnily enough I currently have all of his Impulse albums on constant rotation.

Just about to order "A Message From Mozambique". I do like the look of that. Thanks for the heads-up.
