CD Reviews - Like Topsy...
This a combination of available time and a shortage of willing hands - it were ever so.
My current order of preference for selecting discs are:
A) Local north east (UK) bands/artists.
B) British bands/artists.
C) Established international names.
D) Outstanding unknowns irrespective of where they hang out..
E) Ones that I absolutely love (This automatically replaces Cat. A/B/C/D)!
In the meantime, rather than ignore those discs that don't get reviewed, here is a list of just some of them with links to where they've been reviewed elsewhere.
Esben Brandt - Constants.
Larry Corban - The Corbanator.
Andrew Downing/Jim Lewis/David Occhipinti - Bristles.
Chelsey Green & The Green Project - The Green Room.
Tal Gur - Under Contractions.
Mark Lomax Trio - Isis & Osiris.
Terry Marshall - Arrival.
Mark Meadows - Something Good.
Adam Meckler Orchestra - When the Clouds Look Like This.
Alicia Olatuja - Timeless.
Outhead - Send this Sound to the King.
Jim Rattigan/Thomas Gould/Liam Noble - Triplicity.
Jefferson Rose Band - Feel Like Dancing.
Salsa De La Bahia - Volume 2.
Donna Singer - Destiny.
Rotem Sivan Trio - For Emotional Use Only.
Jim Stranahan Little Big Band - Migration to Higher Ground.
Ken Thomson and Slow/Fast - Settle.
Ritmos Unidos.
Mike Walker Stuart McCallum - Beholden.
Jason Yeager Trio - Affirmation.
There are more to be added! However, the above list is not carved in cyberstone. Should any of the above bands be appearing at a venue twixt Tees and Tweed a review would most certainly be posted and, likewise, if any of the BSH team (or any of our literate readers - that means you Joe Soap) fancy putting digits to keyboard) get in touch.
Now where did I put that Buddy Bolden cylinder? - sorry it took so long Buddy...
