Sunday Evening Playlist

In order to free up space on the book shelf I spent some time on Sunday placing albums into space-saving sleeves. I kept a few albums aside that I haven't listened to in a while and played some tracks from each. Three quarters of an hour well spent.

"The Spinx" and "Folk Tale" from Bruning/Griener/Petrowsky/Prins: Ornette Et Cetera (Jazzwerkstatt)

"Peace on Earth" from David Liebman: The Distance Runner (HatOLOGY)

"Photographers" and "Increased (b)" from Frank Gratkowski: The Voice Imitator (Balance Point Acoustics)

"A Short Time to Sing" from John Butcher: The Geometry of Sentiment (Emanem)

"Part 1" of Arnold Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire (Deutsche Grammophon)

First Discs of 2016

During the trip home over Christmas and New Year I managed to squeeze in a trip to Slow Boat Records. Pushed for time, I planned to rush in and pick up Small Holes In The Silence. Unfortunately they didn't have it, but never fear, a quick browse resulted in the following:

Steve Lacy & Maarten Altena: High, Low and Order (HatArt)

Lol Coxhill & Veryan Weston: Boundless (Emanem)

Spontaneous Music Orchestra: For You To Share (Emanem)

I managed to exhibit some self control - it wasn't easy as they had a bumper crop of albums from labels such as FMP, HatArt, Emanem etc. Before school kicks back in I will make some time to give them a listen.
