I picked up Caro Emerald's new CD whilst OS....
A little quirky for sure, but an excellent female jazz singer/ ensemble. The studio production is *very* slick.
...pity she's not even on the radar in Oz... she's Dutch...which may explain lack a lack of exposure outside Europe..but can be seen performing live below..

Thank you Peter, she is brilliant. In a similar vein, are you familiar with Melody Gardot? or for something that leans more to the blues 'Dreamboogie', Rebecca Day's vocals are great.
Greg.

Oh, isn't that a beautiful album! Anything by Haden and Garbarek is gold, though I know Gismonti less well. You probably already know these albums but I can recommend Garbarek's 'I Took up the Runes' and especially 'Visible World'. Also his albums with the Hilliard Ensemble, 'Officium' and 'Mnemosyne'. Haden and Pat Metheny 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' is simply one of the great albums. Love it to pieces. 
Last night I was listening to a virtually unknown folk band that was playing in Cairns around 1990 - Mangrove Jack. I spent many happy Sunday afternoons in the beer garden enjoying their music. Unfortunately none of their recordings do justice to the sound they had live - too flat and hollow.

This music is in a class all by itself. Sort of like the RKE 28...simple, ageless and pure! Beyond the Missouri Sky is brilliant as is so much of the recordings done by Haden with Keith Jarrett specially Arbour Zena. Also love the bass playing of Palle Danielson. Good to know you are a lover of fine music David!

Thanks Matt. It seems there are a few things I need to catch up with. I don't have any Haden and Jarrett collaborations and don't know Danielson by name. Always more to discover.

Cost of Living by Michael Brecker.
Prompted by David and Matt mentioning Charlie Haden.
Haden, et al is indeed music of a different magnitude!

Another album I need to hear. I first heard of Brecker when I saw a his 'The Nearness of You' in a music store and bought it on the strength of the backing band: Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette with James Taylor. What a line up!! (And a fine album too.)

What a line up indeed! There is an album titled "The Cost of Living". It's a live affair and really doesn't do his tone any justice IMHO. The track "The Cost of Living" is off the album "Michael Brecker" and that track is the most moving, perfect piece of sax playing I've ever heard! (IMHO)
You will probably have heard him before. Almost everyone who listens to contemporary music will have heard his incredible tone. He played on over 400 albums including Zappa, Steely Dan, Dire Straits, Knopfler, Sinatra, Tina Turner, Parliament, Cameo, Paul Simon and on and on. As well as his own bands and his collaborations with most of the leading jazz heavyweights.
Michael Brecker was one of THE session man from the 70's through to the 00's. Sadly he passed away in 2007.

Jim Conway & Big Wheel doing "Just So". Sucker for the 10 Hole diatonic I am. Neil young "Unplugged" for good measure as well.
