Kuuntelua

Here are some short remarks about what I've been listening to lately. Keith Jarrett and his triple-CD Testament three improvised live gigs from Paris and London. Thomasz Stanko's Dark Eyes - peaceful modern jazz. And right now I'm listening to Spock's Beard and the band's excellent X album. So marvelous and diverse music. I like it all!
