‘Trout mask Replica’ - NOT!
Just speaking to a mate of mine who plays keyboards in a band-he said that they were planning to do a track off the good Captains ‘Moonbeams and bluejeans’ album(!).
We both swapped notes on ‘TMR’.the perennial Rock critics favourite.
“Amelia”- Joni Mitchell.
The greatest song ever written by anyone,anywhere,anytime.
Slan,
D.
Bach-- almost anything…
Probably my fave JA song.
I like to play a variation of a Bach contata as a lullabye or as a meditation. It goes something like this:
A2A2 BAGA BAG2 F2F2 GFEF GAB2 A2A2
then sometimes I let it flow with the same offsets starting on a different note.
I will also report that writing music has helped me through many a dark day.

his music always put things in order when I’m troubled
Beyond the Missouri Sky - Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden (or a mix of my favourite Pat Metheny’s ballads)
Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans
Kenny Wheeler/Lee Konitz/Dave Holland/Bill Frisell: Angel Song
Vince Mendoza - Epiphany
And Peter Erskine Trio with John Taylor (Touch Her Soft Lips And Part in As it is)
Hejira - Joni Mitchell (I agree with you Dubhlinn)

I think Joni Mitchell’s “Court & Spark” was a perfect record. Not a bad moment.

Grover Washington’s Feel So Good CD, with Moonstreams on it.
