A nice morning for TECUMSEH by Matthew 'Doc' Dunn. Cosmic Range #001! And it sounds as much like a beginning of things to come as it does a present or future.

A note from John and Bev on the back cover reads: "At the risk of being quoted (pause), after a close scrutiny and due consideration (emphasis) we think we can safely say quite categorically (emphasis) that this music has nothing to do with dying or anything like that."

Some days I just want to live inside The Road To Ruin by John & Beverley Martyn, who released 2 records as a duo in the year of 1970. Every song on this is great. Also featuring appearances by Danny Thompson and Dudu Pukwana.

Re: Jeanne Lee favourites, I might place BLASÉ somewhere close to the top. A summer in '69 Paris date with Archie Shepp, Malachi Favors, Lester Bowie, Dave Burrell, and Philly Joe Jones. It's a hot 1 and it wouldn't be what it is without the unfiltered harmonica fuel of Chicago Beau and Julio Finn.

Love is Fine, by Sal Grosso 4 track album

combustaolenta.bandcamp.com/album/love-i...

In the department of ambient-electronic-experimental, an oft debated category of sound ("it's too fast", "it's not really strange", and on and on), a timeless album called Love is Fine, by Sal Grosso, sits comfortably, raising a timid hand (pick me!), ready to be played no matter the season or mood.

I could listen to Jeanne Lee and Mal Waldron's After Hours (1994) any day of the week. In the liner notes, Jeanne thanks Mal for playing in a way that allowed the session to take on "the relaxed and intimate quality of after-hours communication". Will share more Jeanne Lee favourites in the future.

Kiss Me Again And Again, by Polmo Polpo 2 track album

a fresh and "NEWLY REMASTERED" (again and again) version of Polmo Polpo's Kiss Me Again And Again (Dinosaur / Arthur Russell). very fitting, like a promise fulfilled, that such a recording made its way back to the desk. feels real slick + perfectly endless.
