Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Kuvakaappaus Ilkka-Pohjalainen -lehdessä julkaistusta levyarviosta.

Nykyään kun perinteisessä mediassa ei enää juuri kirjoiteta levyarvioita, varsinkaan jazzista — omien laskujeni mukaan Hesarissa on vuoden 2025 aikana julkaistu yhden kotimaisen jazzlevyn arvio — ilahduttaa, että Ilkka-Pohjalainen on julkaissut Juha Seitzin arvion uudesta levystäni.

On täällä näkynyt videoita, mutta saattaa olla jotain koko/kestorajoituksia.

I made an album and as a social media amateur forgot to tell about it here. It's called Esa Onttonen Labra (the name of the group) and it's out now on digital platforms and as a vinyl LP. Other musicians: Jarmo Saari (g), Antti Kujanpää (org), Mikael Myrskog (keyb) and Joonas Riippa (drs).

This has a great Mike Gibbs horn arrangement! I believe I still have a copy of the condensed score Mike used for an arranging lecture back in the 1990s.

A man of a certain middle age receiving his longawaited pre-ordered @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social album "Rainy Sunday Afternoon" today = 👍👍👍👍👍

Happy to also have the deluxe edition 2CD with tracks from the Barbican 2022 concerts, which I attended!

Yes, it has a couple of great tracks but not quite as solid as Nuclear Nightclub.

Being, the album they did in 1974 before the Virgin deal, is probably my personal favorite alongside N.N. With a different main singer and songwriter, it's dark and murky, less pop and more "progressive" than N.N.

A great album! Often getting the top spot(s) in Finnish best album rankings (Disclaimer: I'm a Finn).

A person is sitting and talking behind a laptop and holding a vinyl album in his hands. A TV screen displays a slide from his presentation.

Just had a presentation at the Rhythm Changes "Jazz Futures" conference in Amsterdam about certain aspects of my upcoming album (more about that later).

Additionally, found some Mingus and Nascimento at Concerto record store to complement my collections!

A fantastic album! I also became a fan of Quarteto em cy due to this album.

I've been re-listening to old Elton John albums from the early 1970's, when he really had a good run with superb albums such as Tumbleweed Connection.

I'm especially fond of the arrangements by Paul Buckmaster, who also worked on Miles Davis' "On The Corner" - quite a different beast!
