It strangely remembers me early Pink Floyd.

Non trivial lyrics, enjoyable rythms, fine voice. I am enjoying it.

Until Morning Comes

Listening to Cilla Jane’s “Until Morning Comes” and very [positively] surprised by it. Indeed very good.

I found this blog related to the album:

Absolutely loving “Downtown Tokyo”, Naoki Kenji

It is an old album, but I had never listened it before. Really enjoyable. I suppose it was never produced to lift someone’s spirit, but somehow it is doing it for me. 5 *

Ted Reichman – Emigre

am — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 17:38:15 +0000

I’ve been working very hard on a new technology of hyperlinks, hence my lack of posts.

I can’t say I work better with the right music, but there certainly are albums that don’t divert me from my goal and, somehow, seem to help towards the desired “state of flow”.

Ted Reichman’s Emigre is one of those albums.

Emigre is labelled as “Jazz”. But musical genres are of one of the least helpful taxonomies.
When I read “Jazz” I think Ella and Ellington, trumpets and blue voices. I don’t think the strictly instrumental landscapes performed on this 2003 Ted Reichman’s work.

Yes, this is a call for a musical folksonomy.

This is a great album.
There are several samples available from Reichman’s own webite:

track: November 12, 1920 (1:30 sample)
track: Paris, c. 1930 (3:15 sample)
track: Washington Square (3:15 sample)
