@BT - Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, now that brings back memories from way back.... I'll have to go to Spotify or Amazon Prime to find them, as I a sure I have nothing in iTunes. Lessazo did feature here a lot a few years ago. Most of us here then did download it
I've been playing
on the way to and from school run with grandchildren. Whilst they were in the car I had to endure Radio One....
In an hour, the questions for the take home final will open up for students. I expect to be required to do nothing until Thursday afternoon.
Today, I'll get back to miniatures painting. I have 5 figures to finish for Burrows & Badgers to finish before I tackle the 30 figures for Fallout Wasteland Warfare.
I suspect my listening will restricted to an audiobook: Whirlwind by John Ferling,on the American Revolutionary War.
Last night, before going to bed, I caught up with recent Makanouchi Bento, listening to the last two releases.
Taking a cue from Doofy: Bandcamp's Best 100. This is Blume by Nerija. Some nice horn driven Jazz. I love one of the track titles: "EU (Emotionally Unavailable)"--perhaps the best description of the political union.
And very good it is too, but is it just me or does that link point to just 1 20 minute track when the actual release was a double cd lasting over two hours. Great fun even if it is only in 192.
In the aftermath of the exodus of the Sephardic Jews, expelled first from the 15th century Spain and soon after from Portugal, their music was dispersed throughout Europe, then reached North Africa and Turkey, transforming local culture and music and undergoing a transformation itself. Over time it became a vital component of the European musical landscape and its influence spread across the ocean. Where then did the idea originate that the music of the Sephardim could be played in a novel way and sung in Greek? Did it spring from the urge to redefine this music again, or maybe from a somewhat postmodern desire to violate yet another canon? . . .
If my memory serves me well, Oleś Brothers was a subject here a long time ago.
I can't remember by who and for what reason . . . (?)
Many thanks BT. I'd missed this one. Part of the growing young London jazz scene. As Soulcoal has pointed out somewhere, artists on Bandcamp do not help themselves with pricing. $9.99 at Bandcamp, plus whatever my credit card charges for an international purchase, probably £2, putting it up to around £11.50. Yet on Amazon it is £7.99
Update - I am liking this lots. It will certainly be one of my top 10 purchases of the year

Thanks for the info BN I'll sort that tonight along with some other recent additions to my wishlist.
I somehow missed that Jeremy Pelt had a new album this year. So did Victor Gould, who played on Pelt's album and vice versa, so that will be next
Looks like some other interesting folks on this label - https://12bdprod.bandcamp.com
