Have a proper wriggle. In the naughty naked nude 

Jim

Right, skirting board fitted to be painted later.

Just playing Bobo Stenson - Serenity

Liking this a lot.

Good call Dave!

uglymusic

Glad you are. He's someone I've known (of) for years, but it's only recently I've started really getting into him.

There's some good pianistics on ECM.

Jim

Will def check some more of his out.

Now:

Bill Evans - Alone

I like your signature BTW

Now

Ray Brown Trio - Bam Bam Bam

with Gene Harris on the keys, lovely

uglymusic

I'll give the Ray Brown a go if it's on Spotti

Marc Cary – Focus

Stumbled across him yesterday. No in the same class as Jason Moran, IMO, but on one hearing pretty good.

uglymusic

Found Bam Bam Bam here:

Ray Brown – Live From New York To Tokyo

To be honest, it's not ugly enough for me. Immaculately played, and all that, but doesn't raise my pulse rate.

What a heathen!

Jim

Oscar Peterson Trio - West Side Story

(not in the slightest bit ugly)


:-D

uglymusic

Cecil Taylor - For Olim 

(very ugly)

Jim

I dunno, I'd call it more "not very good looking".  I wouldn't go as far as ugly.

uglymusic

The section I have on now is pretty aesthetically challenged.

Jim

:-))

Jim

Roof - The Untraceable Cigar

Thing esque

Ugly?  Needs a very thick bag on its head

:O

Picked it up a few years ago from a s/h hand shop on CD.

Never seen anything else by them.

I'll have a quick Google in the morning.

Worth a listen IMV

I've just watched the Pistols reunion from '07 on Sky Arts - now that was ugly
