That Pres Brass lp is getting a lot of airplay on TSF, a French jazz station that streams worldwide. For $3 a month you get access to a higher bit rate, no commercials, and 4 extra stations, including an all NO music one. The NO music station is amazing - I've heard several songs from the hey day of NO music that were completely new to me. WWOZ worthy curated playlists. https://www.tsfjazz.com/
I gave Cure All a spin yesterday and loved it. Rivers of Babylon is tune I first heard from Steve Earle, then the Melodians’ original from The Harder They Come soundtrack. Another version I play often is from Charlie Hunter, Chinna Smith, Ernest Ranglin - Earth Tones which can be heard here https://youtu.be/lnOVxq9Gsgs
That last one was Cleveland Jeff. By the way I’m thru my third listen to the Elton/Brandi thing. It’s ok on some levels, and I don’t totally hate the first two. It sounds like a contemporary Elton record. I’m not impressed with Watt’s production, it too bombastic for me. But my real gripe is when they sing together Elton needs to be mixed WAY higher. She’s ok, but not worthy of stealing the show, and that’s on Andrew Watt. By the way, I too was disappointed with the Elton/Leon outing. It could have been a solid single record. Elton and Bernie brought some weak tunes to that one. I reviewed it when it came out.
City of Fun is a great uptempo number on the first Only Ones LP, only bested by Another Girl Another Planet. Check out a good cover version by Australia's Celibate Rifles.

Well, you'll lose that bet because I WILL dance. Thx for the playlist
Boy those first two Graham Parker records were great. Not surprised it was the best yesterday. Probably almost never doesn’t get the award.
