The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out

An experiment in daft time signatures that became hugely successful. Take Five is one of my favourite Jazz pieces.

Probably responsible for the advent of Prog Rock...

That's a long title !!

Borrowed from a friend at work.

Solid & inventive Blues, and the live recording's very good, to boot...

Arne Domnerus Group - Jazz at The Pawnshop 2

Sequel to a famous hi-fi demonstration record, recorded live in a Stockholm club.

Prefer the original, but this is still excellent.

Billie Holiday - Lady in Autumn

2-disc compilation of material from her latter years. Some say that she was past her best by this time, but I never really liked her for the technical aspect of her voice. It's all about the emotion, and the authority that she brings to bear on these songs that I love...

Easy-Star All Stars - Radiodread

Reggae version of Radiohead's OK Computer. Love the original, and this is excellent.

They've just released Easy-Stars Lonely Hearts Dub Band, their Reggae take on Sgt Pepper, and they're playing a 200-capacity club in Folkestone on the day I return home at 04:00 from a holiday in Tenerife, in October. Shall buy tickets tomorrow...

"Vegas" The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, though one would be pressed to call some of their music jazz. I dig it so far, though.
