Gateway 2

You know sometimes dinner music does not have to be boring. This is a great record for a candlelit dinner - well at least I hope so because I intend to try it out this weekend.

It took me years to find the value in most ECM recordings.
I really like this recording despite my cringing attitude to jazz guitar.

Whatta ya think? I'm thinking curried corn and tomato soup, fresh spinach salad a light flaky white fish, some grilled asparagus and baby corn, and a small side of portabello cous-cous with oyster sauce. Candles and flowers. If that won't get me a little attention nothing will.

But back to the lp - once again taken from the vinyl copy...
