can you tell me what it sounds like please?
 
 
 
 
Listening to Fromuz!!
 
 
 
 
 
It is all acoustic and fairly gentle in most spots. But as would be expected, technically brilliant.  If you are familiar with each independant of each other, you will find that each brings their classic sound to the table and mesh them quite elegantly. They do an outstanding cover of Brazil.

I just ordered Double Talk from the website as well as the Cipher project which is like dark electronic fusion or somethin dunno it just read good!!!  i got that over the duo work 'cause there was percussion in it but i'll def check that one out later........

Larry Young: Lawrence of Newark - first solo album I've heard by Larry Young. Apparently improv but all very agreeable innovative Hammond - in the territory of Santana's Welcome (which of course had Larry Young guesting)
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

I just picked up Miles Davis' The Complete On The Corner Sessions.  The majority of the songs on here originally appeared on On The Corner, Big Fun, and Get Up With It, but this is the first time many have been released in their original form.  Recorded in the early 70's, this still sounds current.  Only down side is that my wallet is considerably lighter!  People (including Miles fans) either love this or hate it.  Count me in the former camp.

An excellent album, with Theo Travis in fine form on alto and tenor saxes and flute , plus some electric wind instruments. For the most part we are give drums, Hammond and guitar backing Theo - a excellent combination of sounds. Here we are treated to jazzrockblues and prog jazz  (including a quirky take on See Emily Play - the only non-original tune on the album, which doesn't IMHO work as well as Travis's take on 21st Century Schizoid Man on Earth To Ether). Robert Fripp appears on a couple of tracks, moving the music into ambient jazz fusion - Travis has done something similar for a whole album before, with bass maetro Steve Lawson
