@simonmoon Thanks for the recommendation! I plan on streaming the "Last Quiet Place" by Ingrid Laubrock this evening. "Devotion" is my favorite by Grossman but I also have "Quiet Earth" on CD. I love the Spiritual Jazz sub-genre in which Grossman is a contemporary example. |

Not a new discovery..just a continuing love affair with anything Gillian Welch / David Rawlings do… the latest is Woodland Love mining threads like this and of course Radio Paradise… ( reminder to self, send them $$$$$ Best in music to all |
