Weber: Orchestra [Eberhard Weber] (fantastic acoustic bass player) If ECM, and especially Eberhard Weber, is what grooves your truffles, then it's probably worth your while seeking out some of Jan Gabarek's stuff. 'Twelve moons' or 'Legend of the seven dreams' are the best introductions. You might also get on with David Torn's 'Cloud about mercury'. Many others ... any decent record store should have an ECM section! Quite so - and if it doesn't, is it really decent? And it's always good to hear Eberhard Weber's distinctive playing on the odd Kate Bush track too. Does he crop up anywhere else that I wouldn't expect to find him? Tony |

I've just been watching the Joni Mitchell 'Shadows and Light' convert movie - with Metheny and Pastorious (plus Lyle Mays and Don Alias). Contains an awesome bass solo in which Jaco uses a delay to build up circling lines of bassness. Well worth checking out for any Jacophiles |

(I think 'The lucky Few' is the poorest of the three, but that might be because of the atrocious recording quality that has been commented on many times in other places.) -- Chris Morriss |

Sounded a bit disappointing on the first few listens, say compared to 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' but after about half a dozen or so more spins I started to get into it a lot more. IMO she should try a different producer next time (let hope that's not another 4 year wait) the Pierre Marchand association is wearing a bit thin. Maybe Daniel Lanois producing and contributing could add some new magic. BTW, the first 'Equation' CD (the unreleased line-up with Cara Dillon as well as Kathryn) is now out. Very good. The new one 'First Name Terms' also features Cara on vocals and the rest of the Lakeman bros. Haven't heard that one yet. If you like Cara Dillion then her own two solo albums are excellent. Of course I would say that, considering :) ... both these have the Lakeman's connection as well. Yes, I've got those. The second one is especially good. (Can't get occasional Kate Bush comparisons out of my mind!

Very true, The recording is totally dull and lifeless, which is a pity as the musical content IMO is very good, albeit a bit Fleetwood Mac in parts. If you like this sort of stuff (female vocals) have you tried the Poozies? Not keen on them, nor on Kate Rusby's work really. Do you know the Welsh band 'Fernhill'? Very Breton influenced but very competent and innovative. I only have 'Whilia' but have ordered their other three CDs from Amazon. -- Chris Morriss |
