Oldman

Well after all this I thought I should post a tuppence worth. I recorded the show and before I could watch it the redundancy fairy struck and I had to pull my finger out and sort another job.... Done that. Downloaded the show from iPlayer and intended to watch it in Stavanger this week where i am based in the short term. Just watched it, I'll download the album as I thought the two tracks were pretty good and are hopefully just the tip of the iceberg for, shall we say more inspiring material. I have an eclectic mix of Jazz from a Mono Vinyl Horace Silver "Cape Verdian Blues" to some off the wall Miles Davis including a Chet Baker CD selection and other spurious stuff. I would hasten to say Jazz and its derivatives are not my main listen, but I can listen. ES was esy on the eye and ear, complex arrangments too much slidy I'm playing "a Lined Fretless" bass for me but syncopated and a breath of fresh air, remains to be seen if i like the rest. A steely Dan produced Album might make the best of her yet. She does look good though

Well, I had read about Esperanza in the usual publications and found it hard to believe that a "Chick" could hack it. I was impressed with the overall sound of the band, the musical style and the way she fronted the band. I am looking forward to Friday, you get a singing bass player fronting a band, writing, arranging and all the "Jazz" that goes with it, it takes a special kind of individual to do that, Esperanza does it in spades. For me anyway.

Looking forward to Friday, she's so slim she could hide behind an NS upright.

Bought a Roland Cube 30 from Steve,, fair price paid, delivered next day. What's not to like. Good deal , great guy

The Stax back catalogue

Nothing to add really, went the only way you can as a legend. Best make the most of what's left to me ;(

Feedback for naov Well what can I say, bought Alex's Bonafide and XS112, after a bit of negotiations and some grief from a Bank Transfer Alex got the money and 11 days later (I know) I got the kit. Not anyone's fault, couriers can't travel through France on a weekend or Bank Hoiiday !!! Bonafide and Cab in magnificent condition, as advertised, complete with covers. I had also bought an XS115 to match the rig, they both arrived this Tuesday. The Rig is Phenominal, best I have ever used and that's just a thrash in the living room. The bottom line is, it was a pleasure doing business with you Alex, it looks and does what it says on the tin fabnificently. Good guy deal with confidence Oldman
