John Taylor - Angel of the Presence

I seem to be buying quite a lot of piano trio music recently - are there no good quartet releases around at the moment or am I just missing the piano*? It's lovely piano trio work, my favourite is "Vaguely Asian" and there's only one ballad-y track that didn't really go anywhere ("Dry Stone"). And apparently John Taylor looks like Bernard Cribbins - think I saw him, John Taylor that is, at the Barbican a couple of years ago in some kind of jazz super-group. Bit of a short review but I'm not particularly good at describing why I like things - talking in the office this morning about music recommendation systems and classifications and Matthew picked me up on saying something like "I want to be recommended music that I like" - but it's true! Guardian review here and, **bargain alert**, on iTunes it's only £6.32.

NB. Heard on Radio 4's "Material World"on the future of TVs..."the television will not be revolutionised." [link]

* hardly any practice going on at the moment.

I'm very much enjoying last year's (I think!) Bobo Stenson trio album on ECM. Beautiful, shimmering version of 'Send in the Clowns' for an opener!

I'll have a think RE quartets ... hmmm.

Found it - "Goodbye"...with Paul Motian on drums. Heard any Tord Gustavsen?
