Jaco

I heard some Joni Mitchell on Mark Radcliffe's show last night, and thought a morning of her stuff would be good. Then I remembered all the fantastic contribution of Jaco Pastorius and decided on my Jaco filter - Weather Report, Joni, solo and Pat Metheny work and any music on the Punk Jazz compilation:

A Strange Boy - JM,
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - JM,
River People - WR (live),
Elegant People - WR,
Invitation - JP Big Band,
Barbary Coast - JP+WR,
Teen Town - WR (live),
The Dry Cleaner from De Moines - JM,
Black Market - WR.

We got to Euston, and then waited for 10 (!) minutes at the station for no apparent reason. Perhaps the driver was taking a nap.

At this point, I started to play through Joni Mitchell's 'Shadows and Light' live album. What a line-up, and what a great sound.

T-3, M-4, D-4: lots of people again. I guess this is 'normal' now.
