Even (actually, especially) if you dislike most “jazz”…

Here are two albums you should hear.

They offer no tediously-roosterish displays of “technique”.

Neither are they lamely “hip”, or tepidly “smooth”.

Both are uncommonly beautiful.

Crucial to their success is something rarely mentioned by reviewers of “jazz” releases: real friendships, sustained over many years.

Wetted: celebrating rainy days (1st of 2 chapters)

I live in a sundrenched metropolis. Today has been gloriously wild, intermittently very wet, ever-changing, mostly cool.

Many fellow residents of Perth regard such days as “miserable” or “horrible”, to be endured, not enjoyed…and not at all photogenic.

They are wrong/blind; dry, warm sunny days are not the only “good” kind!

Red and Green: Reunion

We are in France for our first time.

However, this bit of France is very much closer to Madagascar than to Paris!

Reunion is a spectacular volcanic island; its (and the entire Indian Ocean’s) highest peak soars more than 3,000 metres above the sea…and rather more than half of the whole mountain is below the sea’s surface.
