#NowPlaying #FirstListen Well, this is very lovely. I think I first became aware of Palle Mikkelborg when I bought Miles Davis' Aura. I think it was my second ever CD. Not universally rated, but I have always loved it.

Post a banger not in English:
An outlier on ECM Records but, oddly, one of my most listened to albums on the label.

Followers of a certain age... is it just me getting a Terry Jacks' Seasons in the Sun vibe from Little Picture of a Butterfly on the new Courtney Marie Andrews album? Not lyrically.

Right, we are going in (chronological order) and might be some time. 25 or so hours, excluding shorts and special features.

#NowPlaying Starting the weekend with the last of my recent #Cinquecento purchases. A second disc of Jacob Regnart. The group are down to five voices on this, but not at all thin.

Just had an email from Ticketmaster... Neil Young has cancelled all his Summer European dates. Seven of us from all over the UK were heading for Cardiff for what would have been his first ever Welsh gig. Heartbroken.

#NowPlaying A little late to the party with Cinquecento, as they have been recording for @hyperionrecords.bsky.social for some 20 years. On the strength of this, their third, my first, there will be many more! I am reminded, somewhat, of The Hilliard Ensemble.

Woke this morning to the sad news about Ralph Towner. This isn't the best album by either guitarist, but only the second ECM album I bought, some 43 years ago. Even now, the cover gives me goosebumps.
