^ Aha! Time for me to play again that album you sent me ages ago.
Meanwhile, here's a track from Blue Camel, a 1992 album which brought together Rabih Abou Khalil (oud), Charlie Mariano (alto sax) and Kenny Wheeler (trumpet/ flugelhorn). That thing I never quite remember about the sum of the parts being greater really applies in this case: individually these three didn't do anything else quite as interesting as this consistently good album - or if they did, they never showed it to me, the b*stards !!

I am such a sucker for Summertime. I mean, I believe that Summertime is a song that is truly madly deeply one of the few jazz standards song. So, I recommend Summertime by Sidney Bechet for the instruments, Summertime by Dionne Warwick & Summertime by Billie Holiday for jazz and a bit of blues and Summertime by Janis for the bluest of the blues.

I really like what this guy is doing, and he's really skillful imo. Curious how hardcore Jazz fans feel about his work as well.
Note: I am far from a "jazz expert," I just like to listen to the music from time to time  |

I'm listening to this right now and if you want a treat you should give it a listen too. (It's the title track of an album which only disappoints with the tracks that have a bit of spoken word/rap going on.)

With The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra I was initially attracted by the title but then scared off by the music. It turns out that Sun Ra has made about 100 albums though, and so far at least, Other Voices, Other Blues sounds a lot easier on the ears. Here's the excellent opening track of this double album:-

^ Not sure why I left it until today to take your advice, Frownland, but it's a happy circumstance that I'm hearing this on a Sunday morning "when contemplation is best" as Van Morrison once sang. The songs I've heard so far have a quiet quality about them; nice guitar and soothing voice. Will def be exploring this guy's stuff more.
Many thanks.
