Gina is not feeling well this week
She has a throat and bladder infection and is currently on medication. She sleeps a lot, but is still chasing dirty doves on the street.
Get well soon, Gina!

Orpheus – Visions
Think about a mixture of George Duke and Lonnie Liston Smith. Jarrod Lawson is behind this project called Orpheus and has played almost all instruments on this instrumental album which is now also available on beautiful orange vinyl.

Returning from our holiday trip after being on the Dutch and German highways for over six hours, the first thing I did yesterday was putting on the new Blue Note vinyl by pianist Bill Charlap called “Street Of Dreams”. And boy what a relief this album is. It somehow almost got overlooked…
