Paddy Mcaloon-Sleeping Rough

Oh, you have to love Paddy McAloon I do indeed, I have been trawling the Megahurtz for so long now.  Wonderful that this got remastered, and a chance to be heard, listen to and found again. If you go back on these very pages, go way back you will find - I Trawl the Megahertz (FULL ALBUM) — Paddy McAloon It´s quite an extraordinary work. I can never get enough of it.

world's end girlfriend / RENDERING THE SOUL / MUSIC VIDEO / feat. HATSUN...

Sometimes the future is hard to imagine, 20 years ago, this would have been impossible. Time has a wonderful way of moving the goal posts, and youth culture, keeps moving the building blocks, it´s not as far as this can go by any means, but it has got my attention.

Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One

A stack of great Jazz comes my way, with an extra bonus   Fortune, it's a funny thing. Yesterday July 22nd 2019, I made a moment to fly in on King Bee Records 519 Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton. Nothing special about this, I have been passing by this record store for the past 30 years.  This time was no different, except I managed to pick up a stack of Jazz LPs,  the likes of The Oscar Peterson Trio, Ella & Louis, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Errol Garner, Joe Newman and his band, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Jimme Lunceford, Pee Wee Erwin, Art Tatum, yes, I know, that's a lot of names, I walked out of the record store with more than 20 vinyl LPs.   At the time of purchase I was not paying too much attention to the hand written names written on the back of many of the vinyl LP ́s I snaffled. At home I realised I have picked up a wedge of vinyl from one gentleman by the name of Derek Tiptons. So, a rather nice slice of Dereks collection is now mine!

✰ Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Stompin' At the Savoy

What a version Ella and Louis had so much fun So nice to hear these two legends, flowing and swinging with two gorgeous smiles, and as close as you can be in a duet. It's one of those recording where you have to say they nailed it. As the incredible Norman Granz would have said " genuinely too good to explain".
