Pablo's Desert Island Discs-- Part II

5-Wynton Marsalis-In The Sweet Embrace Of Life
A jazz track mainly chosen for its 55 minute length.A sprawling bluesy hymn to the joy and positivity of it all..Taken from the Village Vanguard 'Live'collection

6- Gato Barbieri - Last Tango In Paris
Jazzy film music I know but Gato's rasping-sax over the orchestra is rather irresistible


7- Neil Young -Change Your Mind

Another lengthy one showing off Mr Young at peak of his 'Grunge' Phase

8- Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough
Would really need some light relief on the desert island


Ask me next week and it would probably be a completely different list

LUXURY ITEM- Decent razor with toiletries.

BOOK- Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Sharpe

Pablo's Desert Island Discs-- Part I






1- The Beatles "Get Back" Loved this since I was in primary school.One of McCartney's finest moments with some great electric piano from Billy Preston
2-Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual" One of the first records we ever had in our house.It is so short but ever so catchy and Mr Jones' tones are rather magical.
3-Heatwave "Always and Forever" The ultimate romantic ballad from the pen of Mr Rod temperton.
4-Stevie Wonder- Livin' For The City (Album version)Blew my mind the first time I heard it.Still a powerful track to this day
