here’s one that was shared by ‘doyadig’ back in june 2012 (actually just 2 days after the show). a very nice recording that sort of knocked me back… i listen to almost everything that i get (so re-listens are not that common), and this one was one of those rare “wow, if i’d ‘a heard this, i’d ‘a remembered it”. there are a couple of very short avi files (shot with a smartphone) that are nice as well, but the music is all flac of course.
and what about my break, mentioned in my last post… ah, the magic of ssd drives, and remembering that i had one just in time to throw a quick and fairly random selection of stuff on to it, particularly shows that i didn’t remember. a strategy that paid off, say i.
as doyadig said, hope you enjoy!

i went a little offtrack from my usual tastes with this one, but i didn’t feel like staying at home the other night. so i decided to visit this years’ jazzascona, which used to be called new orleans fest, and glad i did so.
actually, it was the presence of pee wee ellis as guest which convinced me to get on the half hour train from my place. i missed him about a month ago when i thought he’d be backing cheikh lo at winterthurs’ afro-pfingsten, but the senegalese brought an all african band instead.
very enjoyable little show, i was right in front and the audience was very well “behaved”. most festival visitors were sweating inside the main stage because irma thomas was performing at the same time.
included in the folder two short clips i took with my pocket camera.
hope you enjoy
