C. P. Cavafy’s ‘Waiting for the barbarians‘ – Anthony Wilson

Waiting for the Barbarians What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum? The barbarians are due here today. Why isn’t anything going on in the senate? Why are the senators sitting there without legislating? Because the barbarians are coming today. What’s the point of senators making laws now? Once the barbarians are […]

Lifesaving Poems

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Trios: Ocean by Charles Lloyd, released on Blue Note in 2022.

The Ocean Trio, one of three configurations documented in the Trio of Trios trilogy, was recorded in the 150-year-old Lobero Theater, Santa Barbara, California, in Lloyd’s hometown (where he has played more than any venue, and more than any other artist). It was live streamed on September 9, 2020, during the first year of the global pandemic, so there is no audience.

Fresh Air – Anthony Wilson

Fresh Air … … Anthony Wilson has published six collections of poetry, the most recent of which is The Wind and the Rain (Blue Diode, 2023). He lives in Plymouth. anthonywilsonpoetry.com…

Anthony Wilson - Hackensack West

Wilson, playing on his own and not as part of Diana Krall's band, cut these sides at Kevin Gray's studio (Hackensack West).

No doubt he'll ‘fix' that in later recordings. ;-)
