I thought I had that compilation, but it's not on my NAS. I have to have a rifle through my CDs (I have a few missing rips, so maybe a project for over Christmas). I have some other Cuban compilations, and some Buena Vista-related CDs.
There are a few tracks scattered round YT, if you care to find them. Otherwise it should be on all your favourite streaming services, I'd expect.
Anyhow, about the album. It's by a kind of supergroup, assembled by Blue Note, and it's one of the best things I've heard from the label for quite some time. I'm not sure how to categorise the music, which is one of the most interesting things about the album. It is some kind of jazz, and I don't think it should jar your tender lug'oles
William Parker Organ Quartet - Uncle Joe's Spirit House
I've recently finished reading the biography of William Parker, Universal Tonality. It's helped me understand more nuances of Parker's work and told me about some albums I didn't realise existed.
Anyhow, I've had this one since it was released in 2010. There's lots of it on YT, if you're interested.
I've never been a huge fan of Michael Brecker. Too much grandstanding for the sake of it for my taste, but the albums he recorded for Impulse later on in his life are where he comes into his own. Today, I've been listening to:
Michael Brecker - Two Blocks From The Edge
OK, it's definitely jazz, but it's as good as you get from the mainstream(-ish).
Dozing off to doggie calming music (god, it's boring) after our dog had emergency spinal surgery on Christmas Eve. We need to keep him quiet and crated while he heals.

I trust all is well with the furry one ?
That's a bit of an upheaval for Xmas Eve isn't it 🙈

Hope you're all well 👍
Thelonious is improving, thanks. Getting back to his usual house-filling self - he is a big personality. He spent a week in the doggie hospital over Christmas, so the holiday period wasn't too festive
It'll probably take a couple of months at least to get him walking again properly - he lost the use of his back legs entirely on Christmas Eve and we had to rush him down to Winchester. He may still walk with a limp.
But, at the moment, he is suffering the incontinence that apparently often follows this kind of surgery. Hopefully, that'll clear up soon.
But the neurosurgeons and staff at Anderson Moores are fantastic! He got and is getting the best care possible.

That's some upheaval there Dave! But, no matter what, we do what needs to be done for our little family members 🤗 Sending best wishes for a good an steady progress 🙏

We do, even if it completely takes over our lives.

It's great stuff. I've seen Zakir Hussein live. And I guess Rakesh Chaurasia is related to Hariprasad Chaurasia, another bamboo flute player.
I've not heard that one.
Think he has to be my all-time fav guitarist 😃👍
Many canine platitudes.
I trust your fur is shiny and your chewey sticks are fresh ...
Belated Birthday wishes Dave 🙏🎉🎊🍻🎁🎈🎊
