I’m feeling melancholic… so this is the melancholic exposé session!!!
Those nice peeps over at Candid Records kindly sent in a bunch of albums to Explorations in jazz… and with their 2007 festival just around the corner i felt it was most appropriate to pick some of Candid’s quality talent for your ears right now!!! And although this is a melancholic session, these albums are anything but sad, and they can all be found at Candid Records store. What really stands out for me is the Geoff Gascoyne album ‘Keep It To Yourself’! Also notable are the beautiful Mishka Adams, Gustavo Marques & Pororocas and Stacey Kent ;-) So switch the lights down low, light some candles, pour yourself a large glass of fine wine and let this session take you on a journey to that melancholic shore we all visit occasionally in life, enjoy…
