It’s nearly new year resolution time. Of course I don’t have any bad habits…
HD Film Tributes – Didn’t know this channel existed.
Nicely spliced together clips of the Gladiator film to fit the main musical score.
Jazz lovers (especially those who are into minimalist piano / bass /drums trios) might like to check out the splendidly named Gogo Penguin, a band from Manchester who I have recently discovered:
GoGo Penguin are great, aren’t they?
Have you come across EST?
No! I will investigate!
They’re a bit different to GGP, but From Gagarin’s Point of View is one of my favourite pieces of music.
You might also like the Espen Eriksen Trio. Their album with Andy Shepherd is great, too.
A combo in this genre who I really ought to mention (since I did a promotional photo shoot for them!) is the David Gordon Trio:
We did the shoot in David’s front room which was tricky as it was quite small, and a piano and drum kit filled most of it! They wanted a nightclub vibe so i used directional flash lighting.
Anyone who writes a song called The Alchemist and the Catflap is worth a listen.
Exactimento!
You’re costing me money!
