...this is John Martyn's masterpiece- as you say there's not a note out of place, every track is fantastic. 'Small Hours' is just extraordinarily beautiful.

I think I'm going to turn to my fairly small jazz collection in honour of the thread currently running.

...thanks to the jazz post from yesterday. But now you've made me want to listen to John Martyn.

Has just inspired me to pick up a copy of One World. £2.98 (including p&p) via Amazon Prime. It'll be with me this time tomorrow.

Thanks.

We talked about jazz, complexity and noodling. We talked about the blues. In the mag, Steve Miller eulogised the sophisticated simplicity of John Lee. I dug out the vinyl.

It's bloody marvellous.

I have recently bought the deluxe edition of this and it contains some wonderful live versions on a second cd. A briliant album and one of, if not the best, recording he has made.

As for music suggested by others on this blog I have dug out Fela Kuti lately because of someone's (Hepworth's??) suggestion and also bought some James McMurty and have dug out Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch's to listen to the song "I Dream A Highway"(Magnificent, and thanks whoever brought this up).

I think we should have a weekly list of what we are playing which would act as a guideline for new stuff and also a reminder to dig out something we haven't played for a while.

Also I think I have safetly survived my first my I-Pod phase which seemed to consist of listening to individual tracks rather than full albums and have reverted to throwing on a full cd or lp and listening to it all the way through which, in most cases, has been quite rewarding.

Happy listening fellow blogger.

Ian Hunter's self titled solo album has just crossed my path after a while and bloody hell it's good, From the opening of 'Allo' to the closing track it's a pure joy to listen to !

the Ian Hunter album also has Mick Ronson giving it some welly too!

Here goes:

Oh yes.
