[Don't forget Noise Ban - FREE - 2nd April @ Cocomo]
Drinking Russian Standard Vodka from an old sports cap Highland Spring water bottle last night resulted in a day of chilled out music listening to help me cope with feeling like "a bag of dicks" as a dear friend would put it.
Following is the top 3 highlights of the days listening:
This video is of the best (in my opinion) pop-jazz group, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, playing - Behind The Yashmak at the Jazz à Juan Les Pins festival. Sadly I didnt ever see EST live, and following the death of the pianist Esbjörn Svensson in 2008 I'll only be able to imagine how awesome it would have been.
Next up, we go back to the hip hop instrumentalist Aim's first album, 'Cold Water Music', with the track 'The Force' featuring Q.N.C. as the MC. (The skating is from the video Lordz "They don't give a fuck about us")
Finally, 90's hiphop pioneer Del tha Funkee Homo Sapien. I was pleased to discover he is STILL going strong. All his future gigs seem to be in the US/Canada.

Agreed with EST - a very sad loss, and they certainly left their mark on the popular jazz scene. I've not heard much of their most recent stuff but Viaticum is well worth buying. Good luck with the DJ set this friday!
