Juke Jules SUBS 17 hours ago | | CD AlbumJohn Lee Hooker - Chill Out | Supporting musicians are not credited on individual tracks, but they are on Wikipedia, so I'm pleased to learn that on the title track, in addition to Carlos Santana we have Benny Rietveld - Bass, Chester D. Thompson - Keyboards, Gaylord Birch - Drums, Raoul Rekow - Congas, with Karl Perazzo on Timbales breaking that pregnant silence.

Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Jan 2025 | | CD AlbumBajofondo - Tangoclub | I'm not sure what is meant by the additions in red after the title, as shown on the rear cover image. These do not appear on the playout titles. They could refer to additional artists, or to a description of the track titles.
The notes by Enrico Lopetegu describe poetically what this new music is all about.
"For Argentina and Uruguay, countries united, and separated, by the Rio de la Plata, these are times of electricity and tango. Lots of tango, and I don't mean tourist tango, I mean real tango, the one that is part of the Rioplatense bloodstream, the one that makes us melancholy, nostalgic, or just plain sad. The tango that makes us want to dance, laugh and make love. The treasure box for memories too painful to remember, too sweet to forget"

Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Jan 2025 | | CD AlbumBajofondo - Mar Dulce | I was drawn to this by the rather fine abstract art on the sleeve. This album was effectively their second, and their success had attracted several other artists to work with them. I particularly like the collaboration with Elvis Costello on "Fairly Right"

Juke Jules SUBS 1st Jan 2025 | | DVDThe Subject Was Roses - Warner Home Video | ReviewWatched this last again night, it was set in 1845 and you'd swear it was made shortly after that.
It is tense, with a sense of menace as father, mother and son argue in the family apartment. Patricia Neal's character Nettie is deeply unlikeable, which I take as a sign of a superb performance. She looks deeply haggard, as she would in real life following her recovery from stroke. Martin Sheen (Timmy) is a good facial match for his 'mother', and he and Jack Albertson (John), were also difficult to like.
The instrumental music, used sparingly, was scored by Lee Pockriss, and there are two songs, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" written by Sandy Denny, and "Albatross", another Denny favourite, were sung by Judy Collins.

Juke Jules SUBS 27th Nov 2024 | | CD AlbumWanda Robinson - The Soul-Jazz Poetry Of Wanda Robinson: The Perception Sessions | ReviewWanda Robinson usually combines her poetry with jazz except on John Harvey's Blues which is spoken unaccompanied. All poems are excerpts from her book "The Daze of Wine...Without Roses".
The Meeting Place, and all tracks from Tragedy to The Final Hour, form a segue of deep tragic thoughts about the despair she has felt in her own life. In these she is accompanied by 'The United Chair', Julius Brockington organ, piano and synth, Ralph Fischer percussion, Steve Turner alto and flute, Garry Langston guitar, Jim Wilson trumpet, and Marcell Turner bass and tambourine.
