Purplepash 12/23/2018 01:06 in You must listen to the album below you.“From Glynspsa This was okay. A bit strange at first but I got used to it as the album went on. Maybe a bit too unstructured for my tastes, and in the end too samey for my very basic jazz knowledge to appreciate any subtleties. For Baystate”
