I'm listening to Steely Dan lately. Alive in America and Aja. Can't believe I haven't listened to them before now. The name Steely Dan threw me off. I thought they were a country band.

Hi JB,
Both very good. I prefer Kalmanovitchs stuff esp the first Hut Five album. ..Trains.. is the follow-up to that.
If you are more into straight ahead contemp stuff Dave Milligan Trio is worth a listen.. excellent debut from a well respected scottish pianist. Very tight sound. Its got shades of Mehldau but there is a distinct traditional approach to the album.
Its got Tom Bancroft on Drums who is one of the founding members of Caber Music (Scotland) who have some really good artists on their roster. Toms Brother Phil played here last year (at the BBR) with the Phil Bancroft Quartet. That was a monster show!

Canadian violinist Kalmanovitch recently played the BBR also with limerick guitarist Joe O'Callahan and local rhythm section. I love her compositions. Full of twists and turns. A simple description would be - contemporary, classical, jazz and rock. Both albums feature Boston guitarist Rick Peckham. (Rick Peckhams Left End debut album is highly recommend if you like hard edged heavily rock infused jazz) NY drummer Owen Howard and Irish bassist/composer Ronan Guilfoyle.
Her site is www.tanyakalmanovitch.com.
I think there are audio samples there. If not, both her albums are on sale at the BBR. (€12 or two for €20 - ther are about 5 copies of each remaining I think - AFAIK they are not in tower).
Hope this helps,
All the best,
Quintron.

Quintron -

Tnx for the comprehensive reply. Based on your feedback and some excellent feedback in the Guardian, I bagged the Milligan CD on Amazon for next-to-nothing.

I'll check out the BBR for the other ones...didn't know they sold CDs...that's the trouble when you're stuck in the sticks down here (Cork).

Thanks again - JB

It is a gick name alright. Still that brings me back. They wrote some great songs and Steve Gadd was a very fancy, very jazzy drummer (not sure if he played on all their albums). They also looked dire (by 21st century norms).
They were very hairy and denim clad; vast beards and long hair.

How do you rate the Organics and Tommy Halferty albums?
The organics one got a reasonably god review lately in one of de papers.
Can you buy them in de usual places (like shops in Grafton Street) or do you have to steal them or download them from a Chechnian web site? I like to walk into a shop and buy the things as I am getting old and sentimental and I would like to try those two out.

Kilgore-Trout · 11-08-2005 10:23pm

He played on the album Guaranteed, but don't hold it against him!!

Kilgore-Trout · 12-08-2005 2:06am

JacoStanley · 12-08-2005 11:46am

i'm not too familiar with a lot of their stuff to be honest
any recommendations??

JacoStanley · 13-08-2005 11:04pm

Sure could. The live album Physical Presence is very good and if your looking for a DVD, then the rockpalast gig is great. 1983-84. Worth getting. Their first album Level 42 has some real classics on it aswell. Defo worth a listen.

COCK · 21-08-2005 6:50am

Charles Mingus - The Black saint and the sinner lady. REALLY good got a classical and latin spin on it

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to come No piano, no guitar no chordal arrangements at all. Just A Sax and a Trumpet Doing Harmonies and Counter Melodies and meloharmonies and all that stuff over superb drumming and stand up bass

Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch, weird... but good

Miles Davis - In a Silent way just classic no explainin needed
