I have seen the sun break through to illuminate a small field for a while, and gone my way and forgotten it. But that was the pearl of great price, the one field that had treasure in it. I realise now that I must give all that I have to possess it. Life is not hurrying on to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past. It is the turning aside like Moses to the miracle of the lit bush, to a brightness that seemed as transitory as your youth once, but is the eternity that awaits you.

Icy and clear - short flight back from Turin. Particularly enjoyed the rivers of cloud.

Kurt Elling review – he reinvents songs with his staggering jazz chops

Kurt Elling’s four-octave vocal range and easy-swinging style makes him a kind of Sinatra with superpowers, ably supported by the retooled Swingles

So this was last night! I cant quite get my head around how amazing it was, and to have the guardian review us so positively!!!

Always worth watching. She is such an intuitive and impressive musician in my opinion.
