I've been playing a lot of Eric Clapton in my car recently, perhaps I ought to play that Radiohead album too? I'll search it out, as I don't think it is on my iPod.
The last track, Autumn Leaves, shows that he could have been more than a passable jazz guitarist!
From his last album. Still like this song because it's a nod to the idea that if Gétatchèw Mèkurya played with Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, or even Mau Mau with the elastic waviness of "You"ism Gong vocals, you could throw away yer bottlefuls of relaxants.
I'm not sure if Visionary Hours is a one-person outfit or more, but basically this is a series of collaborations amongst musician who appear on recordings on the Preserved Sound label. Here, in fact, are who they are:
acoustic and electric guitar, ebow, clarinet, cymbals – hayden berry
piano – bruno sanfilippo | cello – adrianna maria kafel
strummed zither – richard youngs | organ, noise – western skies motel
bass flute – isnaj dui | bowed psaltery violin, zither – adrian lane
mellotron – 3+ | fender rhodes, saxophone – trigg & gusset
electric guitar – unconditional arms | bass – alex lipinski
harmonium – the sly and the unseen | revox b77 – richard formby
The album is quite beautiful, and peaceful in a number of ways. I purchased it just this morning and have lost count of how many times I've already listened to it.
Memories of Jazz Fest past. It was an intimate gathering due to bad weather. Watching the radar, we went down there the minute after the storm blew through. Excellent decision.
@Brighternow That track I posted is going to be included in an upcoming column. It's actually quite old and on a very well-known jazz label, and I changed the words of the metadata so that it might not trigger any warnings on anybody's radars. But the album is out of print and and there's nothing nowhere for me to embed, so, fuck it, I did a thing.
It's also a test for a larger column I'm going to be putting together that features all the tracks from that album.

I've been downloading some ACT releases from eMusic, whilst the label is still there, including this
Part of my recently purchased Constellation Tatsu “summer batch” - really nice stuff in this batch.
Thanks freegal!
