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 (-:

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.<\/p>\n
This is the Duke Ellington song – In a Mellow Tone<\/a> – written in 1939. It has been covered by many of the greatest jazz players around.<\/p>\n This version (live) played by American jazz guitarist – Kenny Burrell<\/a> – also features the American bass player – Ron Carter<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was recorded in 1990.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n It is recommended listening – if you like this sort of stuff.<\/p>\n Very mellow when travelling long distances.<\/p>\n Kenny Burrell’s tone and Ron Walkers ‘walking’ bass lines are beautiful.<\/p>\n At least to my ears.<\/p>\n
