June Tabor, Huw Warren and Iain Bellamy, aka Quercus on their first album with ECM, Quercus. June Tabor is brilliant - she takes English folk to new level, and the others are excellent too - piano and sax respectively. I listened to Quercus and their second one with Mr Eicher & Co - Nightfall. Had had enough by the time I got halfway through Nightfall - there's only so much seriousness one can digest in one day! This is beautiful music, make no mistake but I could use something light and frothy now, or loud and rambunctious, to balance it all out! Hmmmm ....
