i don’t have much jazz by australian bands, and still less has made it up here, and i’m thrilled to have run across this (which of course reminds me of my australian friends, none of whom i’ve seen in far too long).  this also reminds me for some reason of kate westbrook, which i really cannot explain.  i’ve been listening to this as i’ve been putting this post together.  for me, this is something to listen to (i’d never work with it playing!  nor is it for the car.) but fortunately doing this doesn’t tax my poor brain overmuch, and it’s gotten the attention it deserves.  it’s only chance that there’s a posting at all this weekend, as we were supposed to go to derry/londonderry, but that fell through.  oh well, maybe in the spring!
