Listening to my Danish friend Caecilie Norby’s new album made as a celebration of her turning 60 - and boy does she make “Sixty” sound (& look) good!

Caecilie is a bonafide rock star and also a bonafide jazzer through and through. She’s had albums released by Blue Note records. She’s been releasing music - and successfully so - since the -1980ties and she’s aged like a fine wine.

If anybody thought the party would be over at 60 then Caecilie disabuses you of that notion right from the opening track.

Give “Sixty” a listen - it’ll be well worth your while. And maybe look forward to 60 yourself!

If I ever get involved in working with another band then I want Linley Marthe to be in it. Period.

One of the aspects of John Scofield’s artistry I admire the most is his ability to keep finding new ways to show different facets of himself while always staying true to his core sound. Every album is unique in its own way.

It is very rare that someone over a career as long as Sco’s can continue to - not exactly reinvent but perhaps more highlight - himself in different ways by changing the optics slightly or majorly.

Add to that the consistency of quality. And his trademark and often self-deprecating humor.

I love this album below. I love that he shows he loves country music too. And America, warts and all. To me he’s the embodiment of the best that America have to give.

This is the funkiest band I’ve ever heard. Do you disagree?

They are all incredible…but Keith Jarrett’s keyboard playing really stands out!

“Swing Low Sweet Cadillac” is the funniest rewrite of a tune ever…here, to add to the fun, with Dizzy on the Muppet show.

Man, I absolutely LOVE this…Crusaders with Pops Popswel on bass, Billy Rodgers on guitar, this song from the album “Images” which was responsible for really getting me into jazz.

Bought this album sort of randomly at the FNAC in Les Halles, Paris in 1984 with my buddy Kristian Soholm.

We also went to the world premiere of the Ferrari Testarossa at the Paris Autoshow that week, threw stinky Camembert after a Parisian (vous etes FOUS), caught a p**n on Place Pigalle (“San Francisco Night Chicken”, look it up) and laughed our asses off when men suddenly got up in the middle of the hottest scenes to rush to the bathroom.

The rest of the time we spend spotting Kawasaki GPZ 900R’s on Champs Elysees, ate pizza at Pizza Pino and ditched the school class we were there with, content to run around in the heels of our teacher.

We stayed in a small hotel close to Place de la Republique. 8 years later I did my first show ever in Paris (with Joe Henderson, Renee Rosnes, Larry Grenadier & Al Foster) just up the block from the hotel in a venue called TLC Dejazet. Had lunch with Joe and Steve Lacy, met Mike Zwerin too. The promoters almost ran away with the money. And all that jazz.
