Her carols have also been released officially on ECM - the review by John Fordham in the Guardian is still out there - and I've gotten the CD in the meantime and enjoy it a lot!

Thanks. This does look like fun. I'll do Christmas month (or two...).
June 2013, and here I am thinking about Xmas; many thanks, ubu...
ubu,
Can you repost this for the upcoming christmas season?
Thanks for all you do.
This is one I was trying to keep alive - so there you go:

I might bring it back up on top in a few weeks, it's a bit too early for x-mas sounds around this house.
Great concert & uplifting music: make you smile, whistle & sing with eyes closed! Even better than the official release. Just miss some snow flakes to go back to my child's christmases…
Only Carla was able of being so heartbreaking & funny at the same time.
Thanks for that royal gift, your Highness!
PS I know, I know: never ask for a reup but I was away for a long time & saw you posted a gorgeous archive from dear late Andrew Hill in Lugano 2004. I could catch the 2 last parts of the file but the first is gone. So have listened only to the 2nd part of that amazing concert & I'm happy with that. But, if someday you could reup AndrewHill_20040313_Lugano_ubu.part1.rar, you'll make somebody happier.
Keep on leaving us some good messages from now then & "surtout, ne travaillez jamais".
Peace.
