We had come looking for the keys to the ruins of the khar (fortress or castle in Ladakhi), which was not found instead stumbled upon a well hidden and less frequented village. Along with the cave gompa, which can boast of hundreds of years of history. Enriching experiences no doubt.

 

It is time for us to take leave and thank rimpoche for his kindness, hospitality and time. Descending from the monastery terrace we look around the vista that surrounds us for the final time. Stand still on hearing a sweet and melodious tinkle.

 

Must be one of the young residents of the monastery who has attached a compact disc with a drylbu (bell). Perhaps, this is what modern Ladakh is all about, peaceful and harmonious co-existence of the new with the ancient.

The RAD project: (A roll in a day/a day in a roll) www.flickr.com/groups/rollinaday/

 

The suggested theme for this month was:

 

'Rolling stock' and/or anything on wheels, anything that rolls, anything round, circles, half circles, etc. Curves can be included as well. Close-up of plants with curves or balls of flower heads, fruit, etc.

 

These are just the 'round' objects I photographed. I bought a second 50mm Minolta lens, f1.4, to see whether it blurs nicer than the 50mm f1.7. I still have to figure out how, find better subjects and think a bit more carefully on how to go about it! :) I don't think that it will beat the Nikkor 50mm 1.8. I use only Nikon and Minolta and the Nikons win every time.

▶ "The Music Never Stops is a beautiful piece of unheard history: an archival recording of a concert headlined by the late, great vocalist Betty Carter. Recorded in 1992 [six years before Carter died], the show was a centerpiece of one of Jazz at Lincoln Center's earliest seasons.

 

She assembled three trios, a big band [her first with a big band in three decades], and a string section on the stage and darted back and forth between the different ensembles, transitioning seamlessly and effortlessly between burning be-bop and deeply felt ballads, wearing out the musicians with her stamina.

 

The album highlights the legendary Carter's many talents: her effortless way with a melody, her endlessly inventive improvisations, and her unparalleled ability to build both a narrative and a mood by spontaneously weaving jazz standards and her own genius material together. But this concert wasn't just another night for Carter; the record also features contributions from some of the best contemporary jazz instrumentalists working in NYC.

 

The music contained everything one would anticipate from Carter: mesmerizing balladry, exhilarating swing, impeccable lyricism, stunning improvisation, and brilliantly constructed song-stories that are still visionary today."

New music for my trip to Colorado! Every year I get new music to listen to for the long drive to Colorado for my yearly mountain adventures. This year the drive will be a bit longer (I have to spend the night on the road just to get there), but I am going to incorporate music from previous years- both albums that were really great and are always in my mix, as well as albums that I need to go back and re-visit!

***************

The jazz vocalist (and composer) Betty Carter died 21 years ago, on this day, 26 September 1998, at age 69 (born May 1929).

 

Six years earlier, in 1992, Ms. Carter had performed in a bravura concert in New York City, backed by an all-star cast of musicians (Geri Allen, Cyrus Chestnut, and Robin Eubanks, to name only three), comprising a small combo and a 15-piece big-band. The performance was recorded but never released.

 

That is, until now.

 

In March 2019, twenty-seven years after her concert, a recording was finally, posthumously, released: "The Music Never Stops," on compact disc. A vinyl edition followed in May. (The production and re-mastering were handled by Blue Engine Records, the newly minted label of Jazz at Lincoln Center, headed by Wynton Marsalis.)

 

"The Music Never Stops" isn't always pretty, but it IS intensely beautiful, the real deal. Be-bop, post-bop, scatting, swooping, voice as an instrument, sometimes breakneck tempos, and sometimes heartfelt ballads. This is textbook jazz singing by Ms. Carter. This is TIGHT!

 

Fellow jazz vocalist, the late, great Carmen McRae once remarked, "There's really only one jazz singer, only one: Betty Carter.""

Boxful of Treasures 5 CD's Including Book, Released 2004 on The Fledg'ling Label NEST 5002

Released at the back end of 1970 this Album has become a cult recording for followers of Psychedelic Folk Music.

Hard to categorise, the Album features as a Number 1 in a lot of the Progressive Folk Music Critics list....possibly because it is just plain weird.

The original CD is hard to get and can be quite expensive but because the Band reformed after 40 or so years a few record companies released the Album with extra songs.

This CD is recorded by Rock-Fever Music under licence of the original Dawn Records

4 Compact Disc Set Hardback including Menu Bio Booklet and a Small Flip Book

This Compilation was released in 2003 by Warner Bros. Records

It's not quite the complete works, and I've a couple of box sets that won't fit on the shelf. Completism is such a male thing, isn't it? The official accounts will tell you that Peter Hammill (often abbreviated to PH) is a founding member of "alternative" rock band Van der Graaf Generator (VdGG), and that he has recorded well over thirty critically-acclaimed solo albums in a forty-three year period. These facts alone might have elevated Hammill to the dreaded "national treasure" status, but thankfully that hasn't happened, and I suspect he himself will be as relieved as anyone about that.

 

Trying to describe what PH is like to someone who knows nothing about him is hard: a singer, a song-writer, a recording artist, a record producer, he plays piano and guitar, a performer; he works alone or with collaborators. These are objective truths … but to try to give a better idea ... I'd say PH is thought-provoking, honest, driven, unpredictable, quintessentially English, an explorer of the sometimes uncomfortable aspects of the human condition, refuses to stand still creatively, a family man, in possession of a unique voice that has the power to terrify and enthral in equal measure, a regular bloke, on a mission, doesn't seek "popularity", and is someone who works tirelessly to achieve his own plans and goals rather than trying to please an audience (but is glad when he does). If I thought harder I could list more.

 

I sometimes wonder how songs about loss and regret - and many of them are - can be so uplifting. Maybe it's down to a certain temperament on the part of the listener. I became captivated by Peter Hammill's work at the very end of the twentieth century, through a combination of VdGG-immersion and devouring the writings of Andy Tillison (recording artist, creative force behind the bands The Tangent and Parallel or 90 Degrees, and long-time PH aficionado). And so I started building this CD collection; some of them were out of print at the time so I had to resort to second-hand shops or eBay to get them.

 

Someone recently wrote - and it brought a wry smile to my face - that PH makes "music that most people will hate". He's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but even so it's a bit harsh, because I think most people could find at least some PH songs that they'd like. Hammill is one of Britain's most accomplished and influential living artists, yet those same "most people" will never have heard of him. At the age of 65, and in today's era of instant gratification and five-minute fame courtesy of "X Factor" and "The Voice", Hammill continues to innovate and surprise, and shows no signs of slowing down. I'll mention just one song from the hundreds he has written: "Sleep Now". I challenge any man who has at least one beloved daughter of any age not to be moved by the words, or by Hammill's delivery of this achingly beautiful lullaby.

 

It's a bit of an old cliché, but I can say with hand on heart (another cliché) that Peter Hammill's music has enriched my life. And I haven't even mentioned his live performances ...
