Root 70 kept me
company as I toured their
discography during the start of the lockdown. Now I’m on tour with Sal Mosca, a disc a day from Too
Marvelous for Words – a 5-CD set documenting solo concerts in the Netherlands during June, 1981. This was spurred on by our listening group. Unable to meet this month due to the pandemic lockdown, we are
exchanging emails. One of the topics was artists born in
April. I picked Sal (27
April, 1927-28 July, 2007) and
as I hadn’t listened to his work in a little
while.... here
we are.
Box sets can pose a problem, as you can easily
overload or skim over things. I tried to stretch it out to a disc a week when I first got hold of the set back in 2016. And I think that helps. This week is the condensed version, and as
I’m working these recordings definitely won’t receive the
attention they
deserve but I’m enjoying having
Sal in the room nonetheless.
Anyway,
I kicked things off with disc 1:
The
Hague, 19 June, 1981.
