In 1978 Bert Jansch, a Glasgow born folk guitarist released Avocet, an album far away from everything else that has been released these days. An album with only seven songs with him on acoustic guitar, Danny Thompson on bass and Martin Jenkins on violin and flute. On this album he has set the bar very high in the folk music scene with his guitar playing. Jansch blends folk with jazz and chamber music to create a wondrous, dreamlike sound that, back when punk rock was just beginning, seemed like it came from a parallel universe. A masterpiece which is still unmatched.

Very nice Walter. Thanks.
Lovely stuff for a snowy Monday morning Walter. Keep an eye out for Sam Grassie, very much a spiritual heir to Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, who has his debut solo LP coming soon.
