  3. Riccardo, I think you must be a mind reader in posting this up. I had been looking forward for about a week or so to listening to a radio broadcast of Steve Swallow with his new Anglo-American quartet (featuring Mike Walker, Gwilym Simcock and Adam Nussbaum), which has been garnering good reviews here in Britain. However, I then forgot about it and missed the broadcast. So, I head over here to Inconstant Sol and the first name I see is Steve Swallow. What an apt coincidence! Thanks very much for the upload, very much looking forward to listening to it.

  4. Thanks for this lovely radio excerpt, Riccardo! This will be a nice one to play along on the drum kit to: lightly swinging, with a relaxed feel, of course! -dandor

  5. Thanks for posting this! I was looking forward to have any kind of recording of this formation.
    For those interested track # 2 is "Let's eat" wich appears in Swallow's album "Real Book" and #3 is "Bend Over Backward" from the album "Always Pack Your Uniform on Top" (sadly I couldn't recognize track #1). Both lead sheets are available at carla bley's label site.
