Birth of the Cool
Miles Davis | Format: flac

Sitting in airport hoping my flight home doesn't get delayed, Newark already at 1.5 hour delay, and NY airports not looking any better. Luckily Baltimore far enough south to avoid that - so far.

Listening to Birth of the Cool in hopes it keeps away the Cold stuff till I land.

How's that one Bill?

Ok Gene just another old guy doing a blues album  :rofl:

From Allmusic Guide

Blues album by prog rocker and classically trained guitarist Steve Hackett? It may seem a bit of a surprise, but as Hackett himself explains, his first musical affinity was for the blues, and his first instrument of choice was the harmonica, not the guitar. So he returns to his roots on this release, unknown as they are to most of his audience. Most of the songs are original compositions, and the tunes are well written. Hackett plays a mean harmonica throughout, and shines in particular on a couple of instrumental numbers, "A Blue Part of Town" and "Footloose" (mercifully not the Kenny Loggins song). Hackett sings lead vocals on the other songs, and unfortunately his voice just doesn't lend much conviction to blues material, even though it's treated to sound much deeper and grittier. Anyone who's heard Taj Mahal's version of the title track, a blues standard, will only smile at Hackett's weaker attempt. Perhaps he should have called the album "Blues with No Feeling." Definitely for completists only.

I had to write a reply tonight to a Christmas letter from the widow of my friend Freddie, who passed away back in 1994. Many a night our wives went out shopping and then spent the night over at his place while the two of use hung out in the mancave running marathon music sessions which inevetably ended up playing Pink Floyd at 4 or 5 in the morning. (You see this Vampire thing is not a new phenomonom for me  :D )

Given this I felt it was only appropriate to run a Pink Floyd  mini-marathon tonight in his honor
