Hi intet,
No, I haven't. Can you tell something more 'bout him?
You bet:grin:
:grin:.
Remember you told me about this jazz oboist - Paul McCandless? I did some searching and found out more about him. I even managed to get some albums of his. Right now I'm listening to 'Isole'. On this album he plays oboe, soprano saxophone, bass clarinet and english horn. You can also hear Bebo Ferra (guitar), Paolino Dalla Porta (contrabass) and Fulvio Maras (drums). I've also listened to John Surman's 'Morning Glory' but didn't like it too much. However, thank you for all your advices
.
Regards,
Mat

Yes I do my dear polish friend. I have been thinking all week of you. How is Mat doing? Now I know.
I am delighted that you found the albums with Paul McCandless, and even listened to John Surman as well. I don´t know of the album you call "Isole" with PM, not the musicians either, but I thank you for giving me the oppotunity to find it, which I will.

So my dear polish highly estimated friend Mat now you know a bit more about David Darling, I hope you can use it. I hope the weather compliments you Mat and is better in Poland than in Denmark, thinking of a song called "Rain".
One question for you Mat out of pure curiosity. Do you have libraries near by you, where you can borrow music on CD´s ?
Best regards to you Mat, be well, always safe and do not be a stranger,
