< listening to Jazz, and all that Jazz

Hey ~tffb, glad you like my "recommendation" :)

~bartender? A BIG lemonade and a glas of White Port, thank you very much!

Cheers!

Ok, on to side B. Greensleeves. Traditional it says. And yes it is. I was performing that on guitar a loooong time ago. But the thing is: John Coltrane Quartet imho do not "kill" the tune. Swinging does not kill it either. And yet I think it is quite nice, while not being "easy listening" --- boy I hate that term. In my not so humble opinion said "easy listening" is just boring for me. Nothing notable happens.

I guess I have to find something new for you in the lists of the jukebox ...

There is Gil Evans' album "Out of the Cool". Recorded in 1960. Big Band --- but cool. Not everyone blowing away like there is no tomorrow, but quiet, well chosen riffs and colors (so to speak) to generate a collage, a picture, a mood.

Let us know, whether you liked it ...
