Various Artists – Blue Note: 60 Years of Cool

Welcome, belatedly to 2013. My one fan and my one daughter (they may be one and the same person!) has been complaining about the lack of posts. So, I’m back with a new post and a new site design. I haven’t given the site a full once over to see if I have broken anything, but on first view it seems all okay. If anything is broken, I will endeavour to fix it. I will also, in due course, probably tweak the theme a little to inject some more colour. Other than that I’ll leave well alone. I like to more open appearance of this new theme – I hop you do too.

So, for my first post of 2013, I have Dianne Reeves singing Afro Blue. This comes from a free with the Observer in 1999 CD Blue Note: 60 Years of Cool. The CD is a short but excellent introduction to the Blue Note label featuring, as well as Dianne Reeves, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, Horace Parlan, Donald Byrd & Cassandra Wilson. Not bad, eh?

Dunque, on with the music:
