Sue Lynch - These Lamps (Linear Obsessional recordings)
...Recommended improv EP release on 3 inch CD from improvising saxophonist Sue Lynch which features additional innovative musicians from the London scene. http://linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/album/these-lamps

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
...returned to this classic after checking out the latest book and reading interview in the latest Q magazine. I always look forward to reading a Wyatt interview because there is always a pearl of wisdom within it.....
"Wyatt is a passionate pop fan who watches The Voice and tried to book Hear'Say for his 2001 Meltdown festival......"I was very uncomfortable with having fans who said your music is so much better than all that banal pop music. It sounds like a socialist thing to say but pop music is the music of the people...it's the folk music of the industrial age...if you don't respect popular culture you don't respect people in which case your political opinion is of no great value"

Keith Jarrett - The Survivors Suite (ECM)
...1977 featuring the late Charlie Haden, a worthy addition to any record collection.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz by Richard Cook and Brian Morton regards the album as a "masterpiece, with the quartet pulling together on an ambitiously large-scale piece, each member contributing whole-heartedly and passionately." Go get!

Stan Getz - Captain Marvel (Columbia)
... after Miles, Stan nicked the band ...1974 features performances by Getz with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Tony Williams. Latin-drenched jazz of the finest quality.

Have a good week all
