Bette has mailed with details of Cathy's recital on Remembrance Sunday in Orpington. I have sent these to S&G. There will be solo piano and songs by Ivor Gurney. His reputation as a poet now seems to be greater than his reputation as a composer. His biography is sad, especially how he was locked away for the last decade of his life. I have joined the R3 jazz newsletter and the first arrived today about David S Ware who has just died. I looked up his album Live in the World on Spotify. Susie Ibarra plays drums on some tracks. I have seen her live in Birmingham with the Dave Douglas Trio. LitW is quartet music and comes with the highest recommendations. It is seen by some to be a direct descendant of the classic Trane 4tet. This is a hard accolade to live up to but so far I can say that it matches this billing. I have written 1000 words today about railway investment. Susie I's website shows her to be amazing prolific. |
