The final jazz CD reviewed for the Scotsman is printed today and coincidentally is for an ECM album featuring Aril Andersen, Paolo Vinnacia and myself, entitled MIRA, a red giant star. It is irrelevant whether the review is rated one star or a sea monster five, what is relevant is that the recording is reviewed for the public to read. Gratefully, the Scotsman will continue to review rock/pop and folk music, but should there be favouritism among musical genres? Equality will keep your heart pure. Let’s hope, one day, they will fluctuate their focus and luminescence on jazz, classical and world music again, just like we do when we look up at the astonishing MIRA balanced in the cosmos. One thing I am glad about, is that you, Rabbie Burns, wrote about things tiny and guid, like the mouse and the louse. “We’ll tak a cup o kindness yet,” from the illiberal Scotsman.
