Found an odd but  positive synergy from an unexpected fusion of artists( and they preferred musics), when I have found very little to enjoy from either in the last decade or so: Eric Clapton & Wynton Marsalis Play The Blues.  A total revamp of Layla,  consisting  a mash-up of a number of jazz and blues styles, works surprising well. Amazon.Uk were selling the CD/DVD combo for under 9 quid (inc p&p) so a great bargain and perhaps the most memory album in year that seemed a largely adisappointment, (from viewpoint of January 2012) .I should add some of those Weather Report DVDs, especially with Jaco cooking, tweaked some of my bells.

interesting music

The album I found out at last days of 2011 - electronics+free jazz with strong krautrock flavor 

IMHO you shouldn't  close your 'Best of 2011' lists without listening to

For a moment I thought Mandy is back  

This will sound strange, but as listeners of many diverse musics, The album I listened to the most this year," I checked the iTunes play count", by far  was Mastodon's The Hunter, why? hell if I know, just thought it was a fantastic, accessible progressive rock album that really struck a chord with me, from beginning to end. Jazz wise The Miles Davis Live in Europe 3 disc 1-DVD set was very nice,  Also Miles Espanol, another Bob Belden tribute, every bit as good as Miles From India.

I found this blog post on NPR last night, some really great stuff throughout!
