No blog post today – travelling all day

As the ballistic missiles between Iran and Qatar seem to have gone quiet for the time being I am making another attempt to get to Europe today for work commitments. Last week, my flights were cancelled due to the disruptions around Doha Airport. Anyway, fingers crossed. I will be back writing here again on Thursday, July 3, 2025. Here is some music to listen to while you are missing my posts (-:

Travelling music

While I was travelling today I was listening to this great album from Kenny Burrell. Here is a live version of one of the tracks from that album.

This is the Duke Ellington song – In a Mellow Tone – written in 1939. It has been covered by many of the greatest jazz players around.

This version (live) played by American jazz guitarist – Kenny Burrell – also features the American bass player – Ron Carter.

It was recorded in 1990.

The original album containing Burrell’s version of the classic was released on July 25, 2006 (but the recordings on the record were made between December 17, 1956 – August 23, 1983.

It is recommended listening – if you like this sort of stuff.

Very mellow when travelling long distances.

Kenny Burrell’s tone and Ron Walkers ‘walking’ bass lines are beautiful.

At least to my ears.

That is enough for today!
