The postman delivered a copy of 'Sylva' (CD+DVD) yesterday, Snarky Puppy and The Metropole Orchestra (a Dutch musical phenomenon - possibly the last remaining professional 'swing' orchestra in Europe). Recorded live just a half-hour's drive away in Dordrecht (why didn't I know ?????).

A brief listen reveals traces of Mingus/Miles/Electronica and God knows what else. Sounds as if it is immaculately recorded and I hope to get time this weekend to have a proper listen.

The whole point of all this hifi bollocks is when a brand new, shiny, wrapped package comes through your letterbox and you can just sit down and listen to some good music in peace. Bliss!

I don't know much about hifi but I do know that a shit CD/lp sounds shit whether on a £100 system or a £10K system.

I got a trade lp copy of the first Chase lChase and IF are not fusion bands as much as they are straight hornrock.

For those who like music that really cannot be categorised, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones live at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1998:

Bela Fleck on bluegrass electric banjo, Victor Wooten on bass, Jeff Coffin - sax and Futureman with a weird electronic percussion thingy.

Stunningly enjoyable.

Hell's Bell's - I might just have discovered a new favourite group: Kraan.

Jazz-rock lovers just check out this mind-blowingly proficient ensemble doing wonderful electric things.

KRAAN Nam Nam Part Two. BASS SOLO.

Why have I never heard of Hellmut Hattler (bass) before? - the guy is a genius !!!
