No, I'm holding out for the rare appearance of Hazel Irvine though - she makes a guest appearance every couple of hours...

uglymusic

I must check out the Hypnos. Saw them on the box and thought they were fun.

The Fully Celebrated Orchestra - Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones

Jim

David Murray Octet - Octet Plays Coltrane

With quite a staggering version of Naima.

Dancing with kids and animals is great fun

Alan

They have a great attitude, but the album is best summed up by the opening three tracks.

Their version of 'war' is stunning, and quite unique; it started as a mistake by one of their number, which was built on and the whole thing evolved. Check it out on spotify - turn it up though! Really high...

Alan

Goldfish prefer shorter tracks though.

Is that quite a new one? I have a couple of DM Octet CDs from quite a few years back.

Shall do, maestro!

More funky basslines should be played on tuba imo.

uglymusic

It was the original bass instrument in New Orleans marching bands, of course.

Geri Allen on last week's Jazz on 3.

If you can catch it before it get's taken off line this evening, there's quite a bit of piano jazz.
