Here you go It's like Air's - Moon Safari about 20 years earlier, I first heard it on Giles Peterson who told a story about the sax break being a first take
It got sampled for this (the instrumental version is better than the vocal version) I'd also recommend Octave 8 for a jazz night out (in Endell Street, Covent Garden) great food, live music and they serve honey vodka too.
I've been meaning to come back all week to say thank you for this one. I don't know how I'd never heard it before but I'm making up for that by playing it several times a day.
Luscious - I'm seeing black and white footage of foggy Piccadilly scenes, Jazz clubs, Gin sips and Nodding heads in NHS specs..
ReplyDeleteDo you do requests - any chance of Billy Cobham's 'Heather' one day?
'Nodding heads in NHS specs'...that'd be me if there were still NHS specs. Or an NHS.
ReplyDeleteI don't know 'Heather' Mond - should I?

I love 'Naima'. It captures exactly the same emotions in me as Satie's 'Trois Gymnopedies'.
ReplyDeleteBoth splendid examples of the 'less is more' principle Marc.
