What's Spinning

Art Blakey & Ronnie Scotts 1985 Cassette

I was listening to these fantastic Art Blakey cassettes earlier and finished the second one off just now. There are quite a few live recordings of Blakey in a collection that I bought and this is a particularly good one. After the session, the tape cuts back in with an interview with Blakey. Fantastic conversation and at one point he talks of how he told Clifford Brown to pick out any new trumpet that he wanted and he would pay for it. Clifford picked up his beat-up horn that was held together with tape and said "Mr Blakey it isn't the horn, it's me".

Hootie and the Blowfish - Fairweather Johnson
Fleetwood Mac


I rather like Hootie's second album although it didn't get anything like the attention their debut did, and top-notch white blues music from Peter Green et al (that Nice Price sticker annoys me though).

Fairweather Johnson is still one of my favourite album titles ever.
