Nine Stories

Jazz bassist!! Having read a few sentences of an album review from a two or three year old Jazz Times magazine that was laying around at home combined with one look at the album cover artwork and knew I had to seek out this recording. There's also something about the albums title that caught my attention. Music should tell stories and spark imagination and memories. Jazz is the perfect genre for inspiring imagination.

The Attic Tapes

Another Record Store Day observed and celebrated. My kind of holiday!!

So many special vinyl record releases for the occasion. And so many these days that I find myself knowing very little about. But John Renbourn is from my youth.

"Mastered from old tapes found in a friend's attic, this is a vintage collection of previously unreleased rarities and early works by one of the guitar's truly great innovators. The Record Store Day edition features five vinyl-only tracks and sleeve notes written by John shortly before his death in March 2015."
