The Listening Club - 28th February 2021

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing okay and keeping safe. Another bright week here in Amsterdam, it really seems like Spring has sprung early (take that, groundhog), however with bright weather comes plenty of lockdown-denying gatherings, so the infection numbers are going up again also. Sigh. Really starting to look like a race against time with the vaccine here, as it's becoming pretty obvious that a growing proportion of folks have had more than enough of being locked down, and as the weather warms, it's going to get harder and harder to keep everyone indoors, whatever the consequences. And so it goes all over the world right now, I'm sure... 

Last Sunday chez #:LC, wor @nessiest was in the chair, delivering a master of Ethiopian Jazz in the shape of Mulatu Astatke's volume in the fine Ethiopiques compilation series, "Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz 1969-1974", which smoothed everyone out just fine. Thanks to Vanessa for the pick, and for sailing the frisb over to @holette for week-after-next, but first...

Yep, it's last-Sunday-in-the-month again, which means #vortex time, this time a #coversvortex, as someone pointed out the first time we've done one of these for 8 years or so (pretty sure it was one of the first vortex themes back then also). This time it's @akx who has been doing the collecting and assembling, big thanks to him for the effort!
