Cerys Matthews played a particularly pleasant piece on her 6 Music Sunday show. Turns out it was the title track from Matthew Halsall’s ‘Colour Yes’ album from earlier this year.

I’ve listened closely, but recently was checking out early 80s album The Search and it’s so good. I think 80s spiritual and free jazz is often a blind spot

With the exception of the Palle Mikkelborg collaboration ‘Aura’ (which would definitely be in my Miles Davis Top 10), until a few days ago it had probably been 30 years or more since I last listened to the ‘comeback’ albums that Miles made in the 1980’s. Although I bought and enjoyed them all at the time, I think that maybe in the intervening years I’d written them off as a bit sub-par, with Miles past his best and rather going through the motions. Prompted by something that I read online, I listened to them all again over the weekend and must admit that I was wrong. Not completely - ‘Tutu’ and ‘Amandla’ are average at best, with Miles sounding tired and bereft of any spirit, swamped by an over-elaborate Marcus Miller / Tommy LiPuma production. The albums that preceded those two are a real joy though. The overall tone is sparse and crisp, providing a perfect backing that allows Miles to play with a wonderful, fiery freedom that hearkens back to the previous decade. This is ‘Aida’ from the 1981 album ‘The Man With The Horn’, featuring Bill Evans on soprano saxophone, Barry Finnerty guitar, Marcus Miller bass and Al Foster drums.

As part of a free lift home from Bucharest Airport on Saturday I have to stand among the taxi drivers holding a sign with the name Arthur Hnatek on it, and share his car from there to home for 4 hours. Hnatek is the drummer for Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan who is playing at the Csíkszereda jazz festival on Sunday

As part of my daughter's work at the festival mentioned above, apparently tomorrow she is being driven down to Bucharest to be the greeter for French singer Camille Bertault. (This is on the basis that my daughter speaks good English, I have no idea if Camille Bertault does - obviously if she doesn't the 4 hour car journey home will be fairly quiet)
