Swish Spins #8
Throughly enjoyed playing these records. In a percussive mood after passing through the jazz cafe last night (OneTaste). Some of them are from best of compilations, but I figure so what.. they made it into those shortlists for a reason, right? Highlights include some lovely harmonies on the Fontella Bass opener and from the Yusef Lateef track ‘Live Humble’. The jazz-folk waltzy number from the outstanding Portico Quartet, got a reload for my guests this evening… I could go on… alright then, I also found great little Ben Harper acoustic guitar serenade, and blew the digital dust of the marvelous ‘Medicine For My Pain’ by the late Lynden David Hall. I remember the first time I heard this record - I think I played it 11 times over on repeat.
