Tonight I'm spinning Grant Green - Carryin' On. This 1969 album was Green's return to Blue Note after a stint with other labels and marks a major change in his style turning to funky-jazzy R&B tunes. Great album!
I am going to join the Talk Talk celebration, however the party is well and truly over
a fan from the beginning - used to remember dancing to Talk Talk in the disco's( such a good song). It's My Life album I must have played 100 times when it was released - just brilliant. very sad - RIP Mark Hollis
Tonight it's an overdose of French pop: Christine and the Queens - Charleur Humaine. This is Héloïse Letissier's first album from 2014, allegedly a huge success in France which more or less made her a star overnight.
Intelligent pop music, good sound quality, albeit a tad bass heavy, beautiful melodies. She also published an English version of this album but personally I much prefer the original version with the French lyrics.

Such a Shame and Renee are two of the most depressing and beautiful songs that when track 4 - It's My Life comes on, its like an elixir of life.
Of course Mark is better known for his later albums, but this has a soft spot for me.
Talk Talk ?– The Colour Of Spring. my 1986 original Aussie pressing. incredibly detailed Maxicut pressing and prefer it to the well received 2012 UK pressing. what an album.
The LondonJazzCollector made me pull out a record tonight that I haven't been spinning in quite a while: Gil Evans - The Individualism of Gil Evans.
Such a great album. I especially like the exciting track "Las Vegas Tango". Incidentally there is a quite interesting cover version of this song on Gary Burtons 1970's album "Good Vibes".
