rhythmaningThis may not mean much to most of you, if any, but it's something I wanted to post, but not on FB.
Some of you may be aware that I occasionally write reviews of jazz CDs for the LondonJazz blog. (The platform it uses is rubbish and it doesn't search on author, so I can't directly link to my posts. WordPress works so much better.)
I do about one a week, and get to choose what to review, so generally I just get to listen to music I write and try to write intelligent things about it.
Jazz PRs are pretty hopeless, on the whole, and I was aware that there were several CDs that hadn't arrived, so I let the review co-ordinator know last week, with the result that I now have four CDs to review.
And by some really strange co-incidence, three of them involve Esbjorn Svennson, one of my favourite musicians who died a few years ago.
There's a (very good) live reinterpretation of his music, and the music of his band, est (Esbjorn Svennson Trio, but he decided it was a band rather than his trio early on, so it was always est).
And both former members of his the trio, bassist Dan Berglund and drummer Magnus Orstom, have new CDs coming out too.
It's all a bit weird.
