I cringed and I think they might have done too, though there's no accounting for taste.<br /><br />Looks like you and Sebastian Scotney between you will point me in the right jazzy direction. Mind you, he recommended something months ago when he first popped up here, and I still haven't squeezed it in...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-87201040215088705102009-08-20T16:59:14.653+01:002009-08-20T16:59:14.653+01:00I had a couple of iplayer listens to Andriesson...I had a couple of iplayer listens to Andriesson's Hague Hacking (title definitely lost in translation which put Claire off from the start) and I'm liking it a lot more. The sound is very different from the live RAH experience of course - a kind of smoother dolby-ish version maybe the BBC engineers prefer for a cleaner transmission, but I don't.<br /><br />The Tom & Jerry references I picked up on (although much tamer than the wonderful cartoon soundtracks) and the piece hung together better than on first listening. But the performance still lacked flow and I wonder whether 2 or 3 more run-throughs would have sharpened it up.<br /><br />I'm thinking of some more jazz you could explore as if you weren't busy enough and I'll get back to you on that. ECM have their Rarum series of compilations chosen by the artists, like Keith Jarrett for example.Howard Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-83285540958600269402009-08-20T09:10:40.197+01:002009-08-20T09:10:40.197+01:00I'm getting there. But I did remember Queen...I'm getting there. But I did remember Queen's Hall jazz nights in Bolero, when I had to restrain myself from going 'yeah!' and cheering the trombonist and saxophonist...<br /><br />And it was partly the influence of my jazz-playing friend, Howard Lane. Like me, he was waiting for the Andriessen to do something REALLY jazzy, and it just got stuck.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-85684580861605710782009-08-20T08:50:38.007+01:002009-08-20T08:50:38.007+01:00Good to hear that you're imagining being at a ...Good to hear that you're imagining being at a jazz gig....The LondonJazz sitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346426719014759836noreply@blogger.com
