After a long (too long) while I have removed all but the best of the music that I want to and enjoy listening too.
All those special finds, oddities, rare pressings, stamp collecting obsessions that I used to have as well as the strange years worth of misdirected interest in ECM Jazz and World music as well as odd collections which have admittedly been a distraction for a few years now have andy bleadenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068713421825547482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105043.post-22861419564620214522011-02-03T12:24:00.003+00:002011-02-03T12:39:55.252+00:00Bleaden is back at the Chicken Shack!

I took my time with this and savoured the delights of a mixture of Bobby Hutcherson’s style over the period of the 70’s covered by this set. I particularly enjoyed hearing Rosewood again from the LP Cirrus which has been missing along time from collection since I sold it back at the end of the 90’s.

Daniel Brühl does a lovely performance as a young man desperately trying to keep the old DDR alive and ticking for his ailing mother (Katrin Saß).
